View Full Version : Millennium Games in Rochester

With my little Newark store dead and closed, I haven't played Magic in like 3 months and the jones is creeping up.

I think that the next closest place to me is Millennium Games. I checked on their website and supposedly they hold Legacy tournies. However, the store is about 40 minutes away from me. I sorta feel that if I'm going to drive 40 minutes, I might as well make it a full 1 1/2 drive and hit up Syracuse and see ppl I at least know at stores I know I like (I'm not saying anything bad about Millennium - I've just never been there).

Sooooo, the point of the thread is to tell me about Millennium. Is there an actual Legacy scene? Is it worth going there for the pre-release? Who goes to it? etc.

(If you got something negative to say about it, at least keep it polite).

Legacy at Millennium died when the owner fired Chuck (cdr) and legacy tournaments began at a nearby store called Boldo's Armory. Then those tournaments stopped, and no one has played legacy in Rochester since.

This sounds a lot like what happened in 'Cuse.

We're doing GP playtesting at Boldo's on Saturdays right now, but yeah, if you want a tournament, you'd have to hit Auburn or Syracuse.

What time? I may be desperate enough to show up and sling a few cards.

Is it also worth it to go to Boldo's for the prerelease or should I hit Millenium for that? Or should I say screw em both and grace Cuse with my presence?

I would go to Cuse for prere, probably. Boldo's is decent but it's a small shop and has a small shop mentality some people might not like.

PMed you with testing details.

@Matt I sent you a PM

@ Millennium: Anybody else. I might actually be in Rochester this Sunday is it worth stopping by? Me and my GF might show up and could play but it would really suck if there is literally nothing going on. Maybe I'll stop by and just see whats up.

@ Playing Magic: If you live anywhere near Wayne County let me know. Because I've got a car going to Auburns two Legacy tournaments (in a row at two diff shops) every Saturday. We Leave around 12-12:30 and play in magic Tournys all day till around 10pm. We usually finish up the day hanging out a bit at a pizza shop and then go home. :-) Fun times. PM Me if your interested.

@ Cuse: What's the attendance at the weekly legacy tournys @ the mall?

Inconsistent. This sunday was 7 people, weekend before 18.

At some point in the near future Millennium is supposed to be starting once a month legacy tourneys for playsets of Fetches if I'm not mistaken. I'll try and get more info up as it gets developed.

So wait let me get this straight, Albany is the Best place in NY to have a weekly Legacy Tourney. I-RON-IC.

I was gonna try and get people from Geneseo to make it to tournaments in Rochester, Millenium or elsewhere, but a playset of fetches sounds worth driving for. If I'm ever gonna go Matt, I'll let you know.

This is what I heard tonight too, no idea if its true or not.

And I play every Friday in Seneca Falls. Its a small shop Ive been going to for years, it may not be everyone's cup of tea but I like going there.

If you want to play t2 we had 20 people or so last sunday. Prizes are pretty nice and competition is pretty bad. I don't think there are any legacy tournaments here anymore though.

if it was consistent tourney at boldo's or millennium, i know 3 other and myself who would show up for a weekly legacy

but right now it isnt worth it to go sundays because you only randomly have enough people for something meaningful

actually, we were just talking about this tuesday and this exact point came up

Smallbany does indeed suck. It is also humorous that NO one who plays in Albany actually lives in Albany(as far as I know).

sounds pretty juicy and dramatic, is there an exciting backstory to this ?

None you're going to hear. I will say that I quit after I was fired - they asked me to come back and I said no.
