    Hello Everyone,

    There will be another set of great Legacy magic tournaments taking place in the Syracuse area of New York. Make sure to come to both of these events that will occur on back to back days over the Veteran Day Holiday Weekend. The tournament will be "x" rounds of swiss and then top 8 playoff. Top 8 prize structure will be draft from a selection of 10 prizes so 1st and 2nd will get 2 picks. There will also be many random giveaways thoughtout the day.

    Dates: November 10 and November 11 (Veterans Day Weekend)

    Location: Best Western Syracuse Airport Inn. Address is Hancock International Airport Syracuse, NY 13212. This hotel is literally, 2 minutes walking distance from the airport so it is very easy to find. Room rates average about $80 if you are looking to get a hotel room.

    Judges: Richard Bourque and Jason Corrigan. Each will be taking one day.

    Condition of Prize Support: Almost 90% of the cards are ex+ condition to near mint condition. So you won't have to worry about all beat up cards as prizes.

    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.

    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....

    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.

    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.

    I live in the middle of somewhere, thank you very much. Seattle is by no means a 'nowhere' town.

    The problem is that, along the west coast all of the 'somewheres' are spaced pretty damn far apart. Shit's just closer over there, because all of your states are so tiny.

    I wouldn't consider New York a "tiny" state, but ok.

    My friends once drove from a town in Texas (I believe it was called "Houston") 1470 miles to Las Vegas. The midway point of the trip was the Texas state line.

    All east coast states are tiny.
    I've never seen him so upset....or ever before.

    Driving through West Texas is like traveling back in time. Nothing but tumbleweed and rundown little gas stations every 50 miles.

    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.
