Friendly Legacy Tournament at a Los Angeles pet shelter.

Pet Orphans of Southern California is holding their first ever Legacy tournament. Come help us make it awesome!

Event Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010
Starting Time: 3:00 PM
Location: Pet Orphans of Southern California, 7720 Gloria Avenue, Van Nuys, CA 91406
Format: Legacy (unsanctioned)

As stated before, this is the first Magic tournament Pet Orphans has held, and we're still learning. Still, we've got various rare cards and other items as prizes. Free food and drink will be provided, and players will get a chance to meet some of our loving animals. We will also have a place for open gaming.

To register or ask for more information, call Laura Zepeda at 818.901.0190 or email her at laura@petorphans.org.

Is there going to be an entry fee for the tournament?

Any specifics on what cards are for prizes?

Do you guys have parking available?

Ack! I can't believe I missed that one. The entry fee is $15 for a preorder, $20 at the door. Street parking is available and usually rather plentiful.

As for prizes, we have several bundles of foil cards, (such as Beacon of Tomorrows and Akroma, Angel of Wrath) as well as sealed booster packs, and possibly single rare cards (like Wooded Foothills) and certificates. Winners will be able to choose from a prize pool, and there will be random prizes raffled, as well.

Oh my god. I almost wanna be the dick that starts the pre-tournament trash talking in the thread about a casual legacy tournament in a pet shelter.

Does the winner get a puppy?

I want a puppy! Anyway, I'll be there.

When you say "Wooded Hills" do you mean Wooded Foothills? And a foil one at that?

Edit (so I don't make another post): If anyone gets a puppy they have to name it Isamaru!

. . . . . maybe a jackal pup...

I've edited my previous post; I did indeed mean Wooded Foothills (though not a foil one), and apparently, the "foot" didn't show up. Weird. Oh, well.

It WOULD be awesome if the winner got a free puppy, but alas, no luck! :( Still, if you're interested in learning more about us and/or just petting the animals, that'll be available as well.

Also, it should be stressed that this is our FIRST tournament, so afterwards (or maybe even during), we'll take suggestions for next time in order to be more awesome. Because they're not used to stuff like this (which is understandable), they jumped the gun on a few of the prizes (though I'm making sure we get even more, and the ones I wanted), so while we also have cards, we'll probably be giving away some pretty cool unrelated stuff, too.

I heard somebody tossing around the idea for a big screen TV. Don't hold your breath, but I'm trying. If worst comes to worst, the winner'll still get a prize worth at least $50, and I'm shooting for more. Also, the more people who enter, the more prizes we'll give out, and the bigger it'll be next time. And the bigger the chance we can get that big screen TV on the prize list next time.

This pet shelter tournament is awesome. Your next one should be on a volcano.

man would love to go. Too bad im out of towm :(. Goodluck with the event!

This just in! One of the prizes in the prize pool will be a free adoption of a dog or a cat: a $200 value. As long as the winner meets the other prerequisites (good pet history, appropriate home, etc.), we will waive the adoption fee. As an added bonus, if you name the dog Isamaru, we'll give you the matching card!

How's that, guys? You ask, you get. :-)

Oh, also...I hadn't originally thought about allowing proxies, but since this is a casual tournament, what do you guys think?

Well, I suppose allowing proxies at this point would just confuse things, so let's go with no proxies. It's a friendly game, but I don't want things to get out of hand. So, no proxies.

Any more information about prizes? I'd love the dog but I already have two and can't picture fitting a third into my residence.

Also, about how many people are you expecting today (if you could give even a rough estimate)?

2 Questions:
1) Did you google up Isamaru before you found out it was actually a cream-coated Siberian husky?
2) Does the venue smell anything like a petting zoo? If both answers are yes, then good luck with it.

Hopefully next time, you announce it 3 weeks early and be accurate on what is at stake, i.e. prize pool.
I wanted to support the cause but everything just sounded vague. Also, if the games would start early.

Agreed... the vagueness of it puts me off. I don't want to drop $15 to $20 on an unsanctioned tournament where I don't know what's at stake (other than a puppy that I can't house, a Wooded Foothills, and a stack of random foils). I'd otherwise love to support the cause of helping out homeless animals.

Looks like you would love the idea of a sanctioned tournament with good prizes, supporting the cause of homeless animals or not.
