Not thrilled about that part either. I was planning on playing Old School; that looks unlikely now.
EW was too much fun last year to not go. One of my top priorities entertainment wise for 2016- 93/94, Legacy and Vintage with a bunch of people that are stoked to be there.
93/94 was insane last year. The whole event was a fucking blast.
Tusk Up
This blows. Totally down to carpool with anyone cutting through the Allentown area (so anyone from Jersey/NYC).
For those who missed it, earlier this week registration went live for Eternal Weekend.
I haven't registered yet (waiting to see what the Friday lineup is; if there's a big Legacy event, I'd rather play in that than the Vintage Champs), but have my flights and AirBnB booked. Anyone else locked in?
So as Eternal Weekend has gotten closer, so have my friends gotten flakier. So now I have a hotel room just to myself. Anybody here interested in splitting costs? Message me direct, I don't want to clog up the thread. Thanks.
Need to edit this. I've ended up with an itinerary that will not include a hotel. Good luck to all those still trying to plan a trip there.
For anybody who is interested in playing Old School 93-94 at Eternal Weekend this year, we are running another side event like the last couple of years. The first year we had 12 in my hotel room, the next year we had 54 in our hotel lobby, and this year we have 100 pre-registered so far (capping at 120 max). It is being held on Thursday at the Gordon Biersch brewery in downtown Columbus, just a couple of blocks from the Convention Center and most of the downtown hotels. Check out the details here if you want to play!

I won't be playing but I'll definitely be stopping by to see beautiful decks and drink beer.
My flight doesn't get in till 4:30, so you guys will have 1 fewer person to Sink Hole/Strip Mine/Hymn/Mind Twist out of the game.
For those that aren't aware, Koby is now in the finals for Vintage.
Still not quite as bad as those misplays in the Finals. That was almost a huge set of throws.
As for the current match, I'm not sure if Doyle overextended into the Terminus, but yeah.
I'm not sure what is the best part of this weekend. The eldrazi player playing spells into his own chalice, the miracles player only putting 1 back with brainstorm or this d&t player who's playing to his <1% out against a miracles player who has assembled a counterbalance and top.
I am enjoying the commentary from Bob Maher, declaring this match an abysmal bore.
Buehler on the other hand:
"I love miracles, this travesty is fine man, i fucking love predict and top, they're suh skill testing".
One of those is not like the other. Having the mental strength to play to low% outs against an opponent in a commanding spot is admirable.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
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!).
Miracles player is awful. Next time I hear about how skill intensive that deck is I'm going to flip a table. He's slow, sloppy, and made many poor decisions. Unfortunately his opponent was playing a non brainstorm deck and was unable to replace the land he drew with more creatures
Is the top 8 up anywhere?
