The most insane event in a while with zero posts? Really?

[Arksz]

Ill be there, taking off work. We are bringing 8 locals from gamers edge!

A bunch of guys with Muppet shirts are coming.

I guess you rendered everyone speechless.

I can't wait to get $50 credit. Will any of the matches be streamed?

[Rood]

This tourny looks savage. See if the team wants to make the trek.

[ahg113]

I'm most likely attending and handing you my money. But now is the time to advocate for a boobie prize.

Is it possible that the last place contestant, the mage who finishes all rounds, with the lowest ranking gets something. Looking for > pat on back, but <= entry fee.

Just because.

Awesome venue, awesome event coordinators, good times.

[nedleeds]

Sick event, just not practical for non drivers. Philly is a cheap flight from Atlanta, but the logistics after that are pretty bad. Train doesn't go there either I think.

Edit: Delta has direct flights to some cornfield called Lehigh Regional Airfield for ~$275 will investigate.

12. Keep right at the fork to continue on I-35 N/US-62 E, follow signs for I-44/Tulsa/Wichita
Continue to follow I-35 N -- 1,215 mi

Yea, I think you're right about the non-driving portion.

There are sources in the DelVal, if you asked nicely, and a sourcer was attending said event, accomidations could be facilitated to make the ease of your participation greater than nil.

Moderator Di was offering high fives (http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?28933-HALP-Borrowing-Cards-at-SCG-Seattle-Invitational) to borrow cards... Maybe something like that would work?

This event is difficult to fly to. However, if there are enough people interested, especially Source members, we as the TO could possibly subsidize part of the travel.

I love this venue for tournaments. The owner is a chill guy and the store has quite a bit of room to hold alot of Magic players. The Italian deli next door makes great sandwiches, provides them in bulk to the players, and doesn't overcharge for them. Quite alot of quality competition shows up (last SCG elite IQ I went to there featured Gerard Fabiano and Jim Davis and a bunch of other solid players). And of course, the store maintains a very respectable inventory of eternal staples that are available for purchase.

Most importantly, it is really close to where I live :)

I am looking forward to playing in this tournament on both days. I definitely want to enter the Legacy portion and am undecided as to whether I should do 15-proxy Vintage (cheaper than playing Legacy or Modern!) or play my Modern deck the following day, but I'll definitely be doing one or the other.

If you live in the PA/NJ/NY area I highly recommend you come down for this! TOA is one of the few non-SCG/WOTC stores that is dedicated to running quality Eternal tournaments of non-trivial size.

The Italian place will be coming back, probably as a buffet for this event.

We also just received the prize lotus for Sunday; https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/12874_406642676170106_5960400970989141765_n.jpg?oh=200484d2b3722e38b56ee3fad2df75d2&oe=552B8705&__gda__=1433276536_26ac8a1d685f8cb591d0528927b4b8fa

[Kronicler]

A friend and I are planning on driving down from Boston. We have room in the car for at least one other if another Boston-based sourcer wants to join. I can also loan cards / decks to trustworthy sourcers - toss me a PM if you'd like to arrange something.

[btm10]

I'm moving to Philly on Sunday, so I'm definitely coming. Both days are going to be awesome.

[Arksz]

What are the requirements for proxies used in the Sunday Vintage event? Markers on cards or....?
Also on the preregistration page of the website it asks for a Tshirt size. Will there be free swag shirts?!

Reposted from The Mana Drain


All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a Magic card for a proxy!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erasing any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point Sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:

• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:

• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The power/toughness of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature's power/toughness.
• When proxying a creature, it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the sub-type. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness and thickness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. An extra fine point Sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card, marking it.
• For reasons of clarity, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged

[iamajellydonut]

I know it's a bit last minute, but does anyone from Boston have a spare seat and bunk? Turns out I can actually go.

[Tav]

Coming to this with 4 other guys from the Worcester area, super psyched for this event

[Tammit67]

Looking forward to it

[Parcher]

Less that a week to go! Time to start the trash talking!!

I plan to destroy all you punks at this. And by destroy, I mean go X-2, bitch about the lucksacks I lost to, insist Caffrey gives me cash instead of cards as prize, since what the fuck am I gonna do with a Bayou, then go get drunk. Also, I plan to 0-4 Vintage on Sunday. Maybe 0-5.

Honesty!!! Suck it bitches!!!

[Krasman]

Is there going to be coverage of the Legacy and Vintage?

[iostream]

Is there a picture of the prize mox? Curious to see it!

[mchainmail]

317 Players for Legacy today!

[maharis]

I scrubbed out, but I just wanted to say that this tournament was awesome. Lots of people, lots of room, moved at a steady pace, attentive judges, and even some nice deals on cards. I hope TOA does more big legacy events to help make up for SCG's reduction.

[MGB]

This was a great tournament and I look forward to attending future events at this venue!

I had a blast even though I didn't do nearly as well as I wanted to (Made top 50 but was one match win away from top 16 eligibility).

[Undomian]

I ended up placing 3rd in this event, so I'll probably end up writing something up for it. This was a great time though, I'll be sure to make time for the next one!

[Arksz]

Awesome tournament!
17th place missed out on top 16 by super slim breakers.
Had a great time, the event was run extremely well and there was tons of space. Can't wait for the next one!

Will there be deck lists posted for top 32 or 64?

[HSCK]

I hope so, my friends had a ton of fun there.

[Master Shake]

I played UWR landstill.7-0-2 finished 1st after swiss, got smashed by sneak and show in top 16, was pretty upset, but overall had an OK time. Driving back to Michigan now. May post a mini report, I felt like the feck was good, but didn't play against any of the matches that I was really expecting.

Heyo! I was that kid playing Loam at the table next to you in round one.

I'd love to read a report since it's Landstill!

Does anyone know if the decklists have been put up anywhere?

Working on lists now; they're typed up but not in standing-order.

Thanks for coming out everyone, we did confirm EE3 in "The Fall" (Likely Nov. 14 but not 100% yet) with a guaranteed prize of 200 Revised Duals, a full 40 set for First.

[iamajellydonut]

(Likely Nov. 14 but not 100% yet)

Oh, Jesus, November is going to be fucking amazing.

6-8th: GP Seattle and visiting friends
14-15th: Eternal Extravaganza 3: BOM Edition
21st: Birthday weekend.
27-29th: SCG New Jersey

[Ace/Homebrew]

Turns out Coopersburg is only an hour and a half from me (and 15 minutes from where I grew up)...
Seeing as I drive over an hour home from weeklies, that is quite doable.

I'll have to make a better effort to attend the next one.

What about those cool people who top 8'd vintage? I hear one of them in particular was very attractive and definitely not me

Decklists for Legacy top 32 and Modern top 8. (http://eemagic.com/decklists.html)

I wish I could've done well in Legacy, but I guess I can settle for taking 2nd in the Modern event :cool:

By the way, this is my second EE and I've loved this one even more, mainly because I got more sleep and the venue was less congested. If I wasn't scrubbing out in Legacy all day, I probably would've introduced myself more to other Sourcers. But I did exchange nods with Tammit67 during the player meeting as we both saw each other's Source mats. EDIT: And congrats to Tammit67 for making top 8 at Vintage.

[Tokugawa]

5th and 6th in Legacy event have exactly same decklists. Are they teammate? or just input error?

Decklists for Legacy top 32 and Modern top 8. (http://eemagic.com/decklists.html)

I am cursed to never have a correctly spelled name. :(

[mishima_kazuya]

Great event. I played real poorly the during the whole weekend and even punted in the top 8 of of Modern to end up in 5th place.
See you all next time :smile:

[Nikolai004]

I am cursed to never have a correctly spelled name. :(
Somehow my decklist didn't make it, but they spelled my name right at least.
If anyone is interested I did a (poor) write up of my day to 13th place with rg lands. It's in the rg combo lands thread.

Don't be such a grouch. :wink:

[iamajellydonut]

Don't be such a grouch. :wink:

I mean, is it really so hard though? I bet if I asked them to spell out "The Chappelle Show", they could do that fine. But when it comes to my own name I feel like I'm being universally sabotaged. :(

Yeah, something about your list doesn't seem Legacy legal.

Can the two of you PM me? Would be happy to correct the right name and type in the deck list.

Thanks!
