Istanbul, Turkey - Store for Legacy

[Kl'rt]

Any Legacy players in Istanbul?

Does anyone know if there is a good store in the city for Legacy cards?

The situation isn't good there. There is a shop named Pegasus but they don't hold any Legacy events. There are some old school players with the cards but most don't bother. Last year we tried organizing Legacy there but it was miserable. Few people showed up, mostly homebrew janky decks. Store owner was a pain and he continuously put down Legacy as the "worst constructed format after Vintage". He was dead serious. He seems more interested in milking cash with drafts and general booster sales than pushing the community forward there. Most people have a Standard player mentality and their FNMs are a custom built format with a combined banlist of Modern and Legacy (Ponder banned, Brainstorm and Fetches legal!).

If you wish to organize something I suggest you to track down Balkan from their facebook group but he didn't seem to have the motivation to try to make something out of the community there either. Good luck.
