On June 6th Dave P. Baum put notice out for all North Ohioan gunslingers to come test their skills in a good ol’ fashion shootout. 24 Sharpshooters came in from miles around and after the dust settled only one was left standing. Unlike recent tourneys there was no splitting here. These warriors battled for pride, cash, women, and above all.... Glory.
After the first round began, peopled were getting merked left and right. Wading knee deep through muck and empty shell casings, only one would survive. The dark horse of the tournament, a Wizards deck piloted by none other than Vintage’s own Nat Moes would take the crown.

POP! is a store that is about all things pop culture. The venue is clean, organized and has some retro video game systems set up to play. The store has video games, books, comics, action figures, magic cards and tons of other stuff to read. I highly recommend coming to the next Serious Open. We're shooting for either late August or sometime in October. we'll keep the vintage community posted.
Sounds like a great store and the Meta seems like a good reflection of the overall metagame. I am itching to get Grand Abolisher into my Gifts Bomberman build.
