Raffle: On both days I will be selling raffle tickets for a $1 to raffle off a almost complete Foiled Affinity Deck before top 8 is played out on November 11th. Also, raffle tickets will be given out for free based upon play. The deck has all these cards foiled in playsets: disciple of the vault, frogmite, arcbound worker, ornithopter, aether vial, cranial plating, shrapnel blast, darksteel citadel, great furnace, vault of whispers. There are also these cards: 3 x foil chromatic star, 3 x foil FNM cabal therapy, 3 x foil shattering spree, 2 x lotus petal and 3 x antiquities atog.
Dealers:
Saturday
-- Eli will be on hand buying, selling and trading cards.
Sunday
-- Eli will be here again buying, selling and trading cards.
Side Events:
On both days Eli will be running booster drafts that begin after the 3rd round. So if you have a bad showing at the legacy event, then don't worry, you might fare better in the booster drafts.
I hope everyone will show up to these tournaments. Tell your friends, fellow magic players and post this on any other website that might draw more people in. I would like to have a great tournament showing on both days. Be creative on deck building, For example Hollywood who comes up with creative decks like Polar Express .
If you have any opinions or thoughts, let me know. I am a magic player and will run this tournament as such, so I am open to suggestions. There will be a lunch break for both tournaments. If you would like to have a dealer table on Sunday to buy, sell and trade cards then please contact me.

AWESOME! I hope this does well for you man, you've always been a cool guy. However, the only problem I see is that some cards don't come in playsets which will turn players away.
There is a possible Rochester Unicorn Dual land Draft being set up at around this same time. Hopefully they don't interfere with eachother.
Team Unicorn- "I'm Horny."
"The Wandering One" of Legacy.
"Glimmervoid, Go."
Plan around it, he posted his first.
So you only win 2 FBB duals? That's a damn shame....since those are worth more than a playset of normal duals... Hopefully this gets decent support as Justin is a stand-up guy, time to ask for that weekend off....
TL,DR: if you think Saito is ok, check your moral compass. It may be broken. - Spikey Mikey, amen brother
WE know what the price of progress is (often 8-10 life). - Cait Sith
A casual stasis deck? You must not really like your friends. Do you play it before or after you pull the wings off of flys and microwave the neighbor's cat? - EwokSlayer
If you win both tournaments you get a set of FBB blue duals. I doubt I can show up to this but I'm sure as heck as going to try.
No, if you win both you get 4 FBB Blue Duals, plus 2 other prizes...
God you New Yorkers make me jealous. You've had like 50 decent Legacy tournaments in the past month. I may be exaggerating, but only slightly.

I must say, I am rather excited. I also must say, I am rather frustrated that I will be spending like $1000 in tournament fees for the rest of the year as we are going to have so many good tournaments coming up. Awesome.
This looks pretty damn good.

All east coast states are tiny.
I've never seen him so upset....or ever before.
What people who aren't from the east coast fail to understand is we're putting up these events. It's not like they come from nowhere land (If they did you'd have them), people are doing it on thier own. If your area of the country doesn't have large events, throw an event together. There's nothing is wrong with that.
