Prop 15/3 Tournament (Nov. 21, 2021)
11 players participated in the first live Prop 15/3 tournament in over 20 years, proving there indeed was more to the format than what was seen in its time. Players played four rounds of Swiss before advancing to a Single Elimination Top 4. In the Finals, I met up with my good friend Adam Vernola. In a tense series that came down to the final two Prizes, I was able to hit a game-winning Chaos Gym flip for Gust of Wind in Game 3 to win the series.
