    Right in my backyard. Maybe I'll take time off to play in my first SCG Open. First I'd have to find something I like though. T_T

    Well.... That really sucks! I figured I'd be able to play show and tell now that I finished it. I suppose I just have to wait until the next Mirkwood now!

    This is how I imagine it going down:

    The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
    1. Discuss the unbanning of Land Tax Earthcraft.
    2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
    3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
    4. Stifle Standstill.
    5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
    6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
    7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).

    Man, this is awkward. I have to attend a gala ball on the Friday night (tux and all), then immediately haul ass the next day down to Portland? FML.

    This also means I might be playing Magic in the same tux at Portland. That is all.

    Portland is fun! Road trips are fun! Magic is okay I guess.

    Do it, mang. There's nothing classier than a wizard in a tux.

    The $40k solution might also be done by then. I'm so excited :D

    But seriously, why the fuck did they move it?

    Not sure.

    If your going to roll in a Tux, the only deck you should be playing is TES. If someone sits across from me in a Tux and is not playing TES I would be extremely disappointed.
    It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.

    I have no idea why this event was moved. The only item listed on the calendar for Tacoma's convention center that weekend is "Dance Convention & Competition 2015," and I'm pretty sure that event has been going on in past years when SCG came through. The Oregon Convention Center's calendar looks packed by comparison:

    Sat 2: Oregon Commission for Women: Women of Achievement Awards 2014
    Sat 2: BraveHeart Women Harmony Tour
    Sat 2: Read Side by Side Literacy Publications and Consulting
    Sat 2 - Mon 4: Columbia Empire Volleyball Association (CEVA): Regional Championship Tournament 2015

    Attendance in Portland has always been less than attendance in Seattle (and is bolstered by a lot of Seattle folks driving down), so SCG is undoubtedly losing money by changing venues. Is there some other large Magic event that SCG is involved in that weekend, like a GP?

    What's the most likely possibility for this sudden change? Airline mix-up? Venue price increase?

    Hey now, tuxedos are evening wear. Showing up to a 10am event in a tux would be a major faux pas. Since formal morning dress has all but disappeared outside the royal family, I suggest a nice grey or navy blue suit to start the day. Just bring the tux with you to change into after 6:00.
    I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

    Good idea, I shouldn't bring friends to the event, just clothes.

    If those are two mutually exclusive options, then you either have way too small of a vehicle, or way too big of a tux.

    There are rumors that this will be apparent by December, if not sooner.
