May 2015 SCG Seattle Moved to Portland

I heard thirdhand that there were some issues with Washington tax law for the tournaments. Not sure if it has to do with gambling or just paying out cash. Also not sure why it hasn't been an issue before. Take this with a grain of salt though.

The Invitational would have been Standard/Modern anyway, so it's a good reason for me to devote some more time to non-Magic related activities.

I know it's not SCG hosting it, but inb4 GP Seattle becomes GP Orlando.

But I finally have in-laws in Seattle :(

Nah, it's in November, so they would move it to somewhere where it will be really cold or optimally snowing. GP Anchorage maybe.

The Anchorage airport is only 7 miles from the Anchorage airport. That's way too convenient for an eternal GP.

The last time I remember seeing tournament results from Anchorage was durning the Lorwyn Standard period, and the winner's deck was entirely Highlander.

Every time, I cry a little inside

Then I remember how disgusting of a company SCG is, but they do have a good reason if what I have read is true about them hosting events at such a huge loss in this state, plus tax loopholes being closed up... And the unwillingness to rent an event center in the Greater Seattle area.

Slightly off-topic. I'm currently in Seattle. What are the best places for the origins prerelease?

Card Kingdom & Mox Boarding House are the main ones in Seattle I hear good things about.

Card Kingdom & Mox Boarding House are the main ones in Seattle I hear good things about.

They also run weekly Legacy events. Monday nights at Card Kingdom in Ballard. Thursday nights at MBH in Bellevue. Are you travelling with cards for constructed?

You may need to register for their prereleases ahead of time, though. I'd contact them directly if you intend to go.
