This is type 1 I assume?

It says Legacy - Sanctioned, so I'm guessing it's legacy, and sanctioned.

Take what you hear on the internet with a grain of salt Nightmare...


What he really meant is that he is outside your window.

[T-ORGANIZER]

Heh it is definitely legacy. We don't get enough turnout with our type 1's for some reason sorry.

[Angel of Despair]

I would love to go to this!!:cool:

[RogueMTG]

I would love to go to this!!:cool:

Ditto, plus I'm about 99.99% positive I will be.

>:D.

[rsaunder]

O_o

I'll try to make it!

[Nemcon]

If my car gets fixed, I'll be heading down, unless I have a need to head home that weekend.

[T-ORGANIZER]

Awesome, hope we see you guys in 13 days for this month's big legacy as well.

Wait, theres one this month?

Hmm, maybe. Binghamton is still a bit far for me. I'm probably only be able to afford one, and I'll go for the one with the higher turn out expected.

Yup The 21st: http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12591

We usually get on average about 45 players at each one, I am continually increasing the prizes every time, but the biggest one is definitely the May 30th one. It's basically a power tourney, prize structure goes out to the top 24.

[T-ORGANIZER]

Despite the unusually low turnout from last night I am not adjusting the prize structure one bit nor am I rescheduling this event. The prize is as always guaranteed regardless of attendance. Smaller turnout just equals greater chance of everyone winning so don't let the numbers discourage you. Thank you CDR for the coverage and thank you everyone else for your continued attendance and support.

[Brushwagg]

I'm planning on coming and bringing some more people from Syracuse. I think the GP hit you hard. The 21st was probably too close for people traveling.

[The Pharmacist]

1000% sure I`ll be there.

[T-ORGANIZER]

1000% sure I`ll be there.

Excellent, I think our turnout will actually be pretty good.

[That kid you all hate]

1000% sure I`ll be there.

This. I'm hoping for the 29 man turnout in that weird "I only have to win 3 times to top 8" kind of way. :tongue:

Can anyone give me a ride up there? I live near DC, thanks.

I'll be there packing moon hate. That deck will not top 8 again.

[The Pharmacist]

Do you still play magic?

[majikal]

Iron Man? Really? Isn't that the format where you physically rip up your cards when they go to the graveyard? o_O

[cwt1220]

O_o

I'll try to make it!

You better be there!! Mr. Birdman and I will be making the trip.

-Chris-

[Shriekmaw]

Do you still play magic?

Once in awhile, I guess.

[That kid you all hate]

Guess I'll just play a different deck then, and surprise all of you.:cool:

I have 4 in my car for this weeks tourney.

[Nemcon]

Doing the math, I'm due for a 9th place finish anytime now. Though save my mana drain, I'll bust through the rest.

Sweet, really looking forward to this one and the one next month. Heard good things in terms of attendance all around.

[RogueMTG]

I'll be there on the 18th, gunning for another top 8 :cool:.

[Shriekmaw]

Guess I'll just play a different deck then, and surprise all of you.:cool:


I doubt it. I've haven't seen you play anything other than threshold ever.

[T-ORGANIZER]

Iron Man? Really? Isn't that the format where you physically rip up your cards when they go to the graveyard? o_O

Heh I just noticed this post, no Iron Man is single elimination in my terminology. Guess it could mean a different thing depending on where you come from.

[Brushwagg]

I was wondering about this also.

@Iron man: Yes that is the format where you rip, burn, etc... card that go to the yard.

[That kid you all hate]

I'm actually not going to play moonthresh. I've been working on a new deck to rape manabases, without moon effects.

Crucible Wasteland perhaps...

[Unknown2]

I'm coming down from Canada to play. If any of you see a kid playing eva green, that'll be me

[That kid you all hate]

Crucible Wasteland perhaps...

Just possibly:wink:

[goobafish]

We might be coming down for this. Nice prize support.

[Unknown13]

Large group of us are coming up from CT. Should be a blast.

This is a flat out lie. :tongue:.


Looks like there will be a solid turn out. Hurray! ^_^.

What's funny is that it actually isn't.

[TheBirdMan]

I'm calling a top 8 spot now with a deck that runs 4 suntail hawks.

[T-ORGANIZER]

We might be coming down for this. Nice prize support.

Thank you glad to hear it.

Forgot to mention that these are cash prices and we usually give an extra 15% if you want store credit. Also if you use the store credit on the spot the tax is on us so it's like saving an extra 8%.

[Unknown2]

it's up to 4 canadians coming down for this now :)
hoping for a good turnout.

That means 4 0-2 drops.

[T-ORGANIZER]

I will post top 8 decklists tomorrow after I get some sleep.

[goobafish]

That means 4 0-2 drops.

Hmm. Do you want to remind me who both your losses in the event came from? What nationality were they? :P

My deck ended up 4-0 against americans in the main event...:cry: Damn. Canada owns apparently.

[jimirynk]

I really enjoyed myself at this tournament.
Great tournament, great venue, great trades thanks Elli(spelling?).
Hopefully I don't have to play a teammate in the first round of t8 on May 30th.
For the lotus were going to bump the team turnout from 3 to 6 tho so start play testing more(David Caplan =P, thanks for rating boost).

I can't wait to play verse you all again and ether can my team.<3

It's just Eli with one L, but thank you very much and I'm glad you had a good time. Everything worked out very well I am happy to say. I can't seem to find the decklists from yesterday, but my store is a mess and I haven't looked very hard. CDR did you grab them by any chance?

[quicksilver]

Ya he took them and will be posting them shortly.

[Unknown2]

hey, I wish I could have made the tournament. A slew of wrong directions and bad luck involving tires and random sharp objects on the road prevented us from actually getting anywhere near the destination. I will, however, be leaving the night before for the next one.

Who top 8'ed?

[konsultant]

Hmm. Do you want to remind me who both your losses in the event came from? What nationality were they? :P

Who trumps legendary Canadian legacy players capabale of making a top 8 at a 1230 person event? A twleve year old american boy playing in his first legacy event ever on his birthday, thats who.

He must be half Canadian or something, we are the only ones who possess those powers. He only lost 3 GAMES until the finals.

[torgar]

He only lost 3 GAMES until the finals.

Yeah, at least I got to hand the kid a loss.

I had to take a lot of shit from my car-mates after naming Mogg Flunkies with a Runed Halo and then proceeding to lose the match with a COP:red in play. [The kid landed back to back SGCs on turn 5-6. What could I do? It was his birthday!]

In all seriousness tho, congrats to Kaleb.

And I'm still convinced Flunkies was the right call. :-) Get your playsets while they're cheap!

Thanks to Eli for the well-run tourney with good prize support. I really like the Top16 IronMan format (as it landed me a Mana Drain.) We'll see you at the next one.

[ShiftyKapree]

I just wanted to say I enjoyed the tourny and the turnout. Great prize support and I will be attending the May 30th event.
