The Card Castle
3153 Fort St.
Wyandotte, MI 48192
(734)284-7334
When:
Sunday, June 26 at 3:00 PM
What:
15-proxy Legacy Constructed
Entry:
$10
Prize:
$100 Prize Pool guaranteed -- will increase based on turnout!
Downriver has lacked a venue for competitive Magic for quite a while, but the Card Castle has come to fill that void! In addition to normal Friday night drafts, all players are invited to attend the first Card Castle Legacy event on Sunday, June 26. The tournament format will be a number of Swiss rounds based on attendance with a cut to the top 4 (15 or less) or the top 8 (16 or more) players. Though the tournament will allow proxies and therefore will not be sanctioned, a level 1 judge with significant Legacy experience will be available for players throughout the tournament.
Why proxies? Though Legacy is a wonderful format and its growth should be encouraged, it is easy to recognize that the price tag accompanying many decks could turn new and/or unsure players away. This offers players a chance to build their favorite decks without taking too much of a hit in their wallet, giving them a chance to "try before they buy". After this fun, stimulating event, we're sure people will consider it worth the investment!
Please be sure to show your proxies to the Head Judge before the event begins if you have any questions. Proxies should include card name; types and subtypes, if any; Oracle rules text; power and toughness, if applicable; and mana cost. Printing proxies and pasting/taping them to a card are allowed only if there is no noticeable difference to the eye nor the touch in a randomized deck. The Head Judge's decision on the legality of a proxy will be final.
The Card Castle is located just past Eureka Rd. on the northbound side of Fort St. This event will also influence whether a weekly Legacy event will begin, so if you're interested, please stop by!
