Results Jyhad -- "Play-as-Printed" Draft

Here are the results of the VtES Jyhad Draft tournament that took place during the Week of Nightmares 2009 on 01/Oct/2009. The draft was done with 5 Jyhad booster packs (with 19 cards each) per player. The interesting thing was that the cards were to be played as printed. To name a few examples: a "Hawg" has a press each turn, "Enchant Kindred" has no inherent +1 stealth on superior and "Mob Connections" can be used to provide a press to continue in combat where none of your minions is involved.

1. Mark Loughman (USA) -- 2 GW 8 VP -- 3 VP -- Ventrue/Tremere Vote/Breed/Bleed
2. Oscar Garza (USA) -- 1 GW 4.5 VP -- 2 VP -- ???
2. Somam Adinolf (USA) -- 1 GW 4 VP -- 0 VP -- ???
2. Martin Randers (DEN) -- 1 VP 5.5 VP -- 0 VP -- ???
2. Mike Perlman (USA) -- 1 GW 5 VP -- 0 VP -- ???
