Place: The Only Game In Town, 211 West Main Street, Somerville, New Jersey, 08876
Date: June 18th 2011
Time: 1 PM registrations will begin at 12 pm
The primary tournament will be structured as such:
It will be a 1v1 Edh Tournament played 2/3 with 60 minute rounds
Entry will be 10 Dollars
The main 1v1 Tournament allows up to 10 proxies to be purchased at 1 dollar each. (e.g. if you have 6 proxies your total cost will be 16$, 6$ for the proxies 10$ for the tournament entry.)
The only minimum is that 8 people show up for the full prize allotment. However, you should bring all your friends or I’ll be poor
The prizes will be:
1st Place: italian Mana Drain
2nd Place: 1st and last pick of a new Wizards of the Coast Commander deck
3-4 Place: Will receive a Wizards of the Coast Commander deck each
A door prize Commander deck will be given out once top 4 is determined.
The rules will be the standard EDH rules which you can find at mtgcommander.net
The only change in rules will be that the first player will not draw a card. There is also an extended banned list which you can see below.
The revenue from this event will go towards the Mike Soletto College fund. This fund will assist a store local in paying for his graduate school fees this up coming fall semester. If for whatever reason you’d like to bring a donation he would be more than willing to accept.
In addition to the normal event. There will be 4 man “gun slinging” pods. These pods will be run throughout the day at a 5 dollar buy in. The pod will receive 6 packs to distribute as they see fit. The rules for this are a bit more loose to encourage players to have more fun. The proxy limit can be determined by the group, but I encourage them to accept at least the minimum of ten. There will be no additional charge for these proxies.
The banned list is as follows:
* Ancestral Recall
* Balance
* Biorhythm
* Black Lotus
* Coalition Victory
* Channel
* Emrakul, the Aeons Torn *NEW*
* Fastbond
* Gifts Ungiven
* Kokusho, the Evening Star
* Karakas
* Library of Alexandria
* Limited Resources
* Lion’s Eye Diamond
* Metalworker

* Tinker
* Tolarian Academy
* Upheaval
* Worldgorger Dragon *Unbanned*
* Yawgmoth’s Bargain

Thanks if you have any questions feel free to post them and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
I hope in the future we can host larger events in the future and I recognize that the prize for this event isn't huge but if you're local it should be a great way to spend a Saturday. See you then!
