I'd post a pic of the power, but I still need like 3 pieces, so instead here's a pic of a Broodstar. If you have power you're looking to get rid of, contact me.

Does look awesome, it is the same weekend as the release events for M10. I'm sure that doesn't matter for most people, but it probably means I will be stuck working and can't go.
I wish I could have avoided that, but everything else conflicted worse.
July 4--Independence Day
July 11--Prerelease
July 18--Release
July 25--Nationals
August 1--Steel City
August 8--right between Steel City and Gencon
August 15--Gencon
Yup I know it, I had trouble scheduling my Legacy tournaments for the summer as well. I went with the same day as nationals on purpose lol.
LOL I'm not good enough at Vintage to justify it. Ask Rich ShayMatt, want to carpool?

Hey, I might make this. 10 Proxies, hmm....Is Dreadstill playable with Power?
I'm outside of Chicago for the summer....any Legacy events happen around here?

I'm considering going to this.
A little under three weeks left. This should be a kick-ass time. All you Legacy folks can seriously just port your decks over; it's not that hard. Remember, it's VINTAGE--it takes no skill.
I know what you mean. I usually play oath and most of my games go: t1: land, mox, oath go. t2: win.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. It's not as easy as one might think to kill someone on the first turn, especially if that person is inexperienced.
Maybe you're just bad at it. Zing!

Been there, tried that, still casting Doomsday.
Drawing my deck for 0 mana since 2013.
I'm thinking about going.
Good call. Just 9 days left!
Who else is going to be at this? I'm planning on rocking both days.

I'll be there Saturday with a couple of friends. I still don't know what I'm going to play though...
I'll be showing up both days. I'll be quite easy to spot as I'll be wearing vertical black and white stripes.
Hey, are collectors edition cards able to be used for proxies/real cards?
