12/20/2009 - Maryland Legacy for a Mox Jet

[jrp]

Thanks for Playing in Urbana, MD is holding a sanctioned Legacy tournament on Sunday 12/20/2009. The store typically only holds Type 2/Limited tournaments, but at my urging and the interest of other local players, the owner has agreed to try holding a legacy event. Only catch is that I will be providing prize support myself (since the store owner only stocks T2 stuff and retail product), which can only be a good thing for everyone who attends :)

The entry fee is $20, and below is the prize structure and payout schedule:

Guaranteed Prize structure
8 players (payout top 2): 1st - 2 Tropical Island + Non-blue Dual; 2nd - 2 Force of Will
16 players (payout top 4): 1st - 4 Tropical Island; 2nd - 2 Force of Will + 1 Non-blue Dual; 3rd - Non-Blue Dual (or Mox Diamond); 4th - Non-blue Dual (or Phyrexian Dreadnought)
24 players (payout top 4): 1st - Mox Jet!; 2nd - 2 Tropical Island + Non-blue Dual; 3rd/4th - Force of Will
32 players(payout top 8): 1st - Mox Jet!; 2nd - 2 Tropical Island + Non-blue Dual; 3rd/4th - 2 Force of Will each; 5th-8th - 2 Fetchlands each
36 players+ Prizes to be scaled appropriately!

Payout schedule:
<=12 players - payout to top 2
13-27 players - payout to top 4
28+ players - payout to top 8

Also, prizes will be added in between the levels; i.e. If 12 people show up, prizes would increase from the 8-player prize structure to include something like 2 additional non-blue revised duals, or 4 fetchlands, or...well you get the idea. Since I'm providing the prize support, there will also be some flexibility re: prize trade and prize buyback.

The Jet is Unlimited, signed, and between Excellent and EX- condition based on Toad+Troll's grading guide AND guaranteed at 24 players (along with all the other prizes in the prize structure). I will try to post up scans before the event.

Where:

The store's phone number is: 240-566-5894, though it will likely (certainly) be better to post questions in this thread or send me a PM. The store can comfortably hold ~40 people and has an absolute max player occupancy right around 50.

When:
Sunday, December 20th, 2009
Registration begins at 11:30 AM
Play begins at 12:30 PM

Format and other details:
Entry Fee: $20
Sanctioned Legacy constructed, 16k
Though not required by the k-value of the event, decklists will be required

I hope people that have previously frequented the Dream Wizards legacy events can make it out to this (All you NoVA guys!). The store this is being held at is approximately 20 minutes northwest of DW, and right off the highway. Let me know if you can make it!

Most def +1! With prize support actually catering to the players, DW is in the dust with their skimpy prizes. I've heard of your store, but never been so what stuff do you trade in or buy? Just T2 crap?

[Phantom]

I would love to make it out from Baltimore to this, but I'll be in Europe. Hopefully sometime next year.

[beastman]

I'm coming.

I'm not sure exactly what the store owner will buy, T2 stuff definitely. Personally, I'll trade for or buy any Legacy staples/Power.

I'm coming.

Sweet. Glad to hear it. Do you still play at Legends in Towson? If so, could you pass the word along? I know those guys mostly play Vintage now, but maybe they'd be willing to play some Legacy for a piece of power.

[Parcher]

Well, if Jimmy P is playing, then I'm not coming. What's the point?

[jrp]

haha, what if I promise to not play a combo deck ;) Yeah right...

[dyzzy]

Most likely will be going with a couple of friends.

[nitewolf9]

I will be trying my best to make this, I'm pretty sure I'm good to go on that Sunday. And Jimmy, please play combo so I can play a deck that has an absurdly good matchup against you. And then proceed to lose to you anyway. Bastard.

[Deep6er]

I might be trying to make this. Basically, it's going to come down to whether or not I want to make this one or the one in Vestal. I know they're on different days, but there's only so much traveling that we could do in a day (especially after a magic tournament).

I know that the Vestal one has better prize support, but this one is less than an hour away. Compared to like four or whatever.

I'll see. Won't lie though, I would like to finally beat Jimmy P. The one time we played, the fucker got lucky as hell (even though he was still terrible) and beat me. Lucky bastard.

I'm like 1829676354 steps ahead of you. I told everyone, and I'm currently trying to get ahold of some other cards for prizes.

[jrp]

@ Kevin - Thanks, sounds great.

@ Dave - Were you guys actually planning to go to the tournament in Vestal? I didn't think I'd be poaching much, if any attendance away from Eli; that certainly isn't my intent. If we knew about the Vestal tournament earlier we may have tried a different day, but we were already working through our final details before his tournament was posted on 11/26. Also, it's hard to work around all the tournaments in the upper Northeast - it seems like there's one every weekend!

Another thought - you could just leave Vestal at 7:30 AM on Sunday morning, and hit this one on the way home ;)

[Parcher]

We should have 8 or so coming to this. So I hope with other locals we should easily break the 24+ mark for prize support.

Jimmy, do we know who is judging this bitch?

[gamegeek2]

I should be able to make it to this, with a friend.

[jrp]

Judging, running DCI reporter, etc will be handled by the store owner (I think he's a level 1).

Also, I definitely think we're going to crack the 24 player mark!

[beastman]

I'm bringing paul lynch with me. Maybe more.

[tyleredw]

I'm definitely gonna try to make it up for this. Hopefully with at least two others as well.

[Deep6er]

Holy Shit! Paul Lynch still plays Magic? Awesome.

[woremak]

Is there anybody who could lend out a deck for this? I'd love to come but don't have anything to play. I'm Simon Kamerow, by the way, the guy with the beard and glasses at Dream Wizards who played Aggro Loam at the last proxy tournament.

[dyzzy]

Hey Simon, it's David. You should just borrow one of Paul's decks.

Uh, I can let you borrow my Eva Green if you can get the Wastelands (I can scrounge up 3 from my EDH decks if you can't)...

Edit: Oh, it also needs Maelstrom Pulses...
