Invitational Tournament Budget Season IV

And when the smoke cleared a storm rose?!

Congratulations to Gijsbert for stealing the trophy from under everyone's nose. Kind of a cool story, since he only heard he could join the invitational two days prior to the tournament day and still 3-0'd both formats (Pauper as well as Peasant was played).

Furthermore we saw during the invitational that a significant number of players picked up the locus lands to render their endgame mana supply neigh infinite! Especially in mirror situations this led to stupid situations: tap a land, gain 8 mana :P
