    Zach and I are the ones organizing this, so we are talking about having some sort of bounty. Again, with expenses up in the air the details aren't available yet. I'm not sure about every member on EPIC, but if Zach and I play, then we will have a bounty.

    I love quoting myself. I am doing this out of the kindness of my heart, and have nothing to do with organizing the event.

    See, EPIC is just a bunch of kind-hearted people.... and we feel bad cuz u guys are gonna pay us to win our own duals...

    So, to clear things up, when you beat an EPIC member, you get an asian booster pack. When you beat Zach or I you will get something better, again, not sure what yet.

    I will have probably two playsets of Meddling Magi with me for the event. Beat me, and I'll give you one. Unless people have other ideas. Or if I decide that I'm too poor to ante up some magi. I think that it'd be unfair for Matt and I to compete for prizes and not bounty ourselves. Mabye I'll give you a wasteland? Foil playset of Grozoth? And, I swear to whatever you find sacred, reveng_inc, if you beat me I and I'm playing enchantress I'll give you two force of wills.

    Sweet, Now I really have to go to this.

    If I can get a ride I'll go because I doubt I can take the greyhound to Oswego. I'll try my best to be there though. Don't want to be a whiner + people have said it before, Syracuse and Rochester are quicker to get to for people 3+ hours away. That is a really sweet offer though.

    I was just wondering why did you guys decide on the location to be in Oswego? I know that since you go to school there and its probably easier for you to organize something that is close, but it just seems to be a little strange of a location for a major legacy tournament in the area.

    I'll definitely be there with most of my team if they actually decided to show up and play for once.

    Ok.... I think we may have the last of the details nailed down, I can't say anything yet because I have to check with everyone involved.

    After everything is discussed I will update the main post with the new information, hopefully later tonight. A list of prizes what will be included will be up, probably not a complete list, but the confirmed prizes, and extras and how many people we will need for them to be added.

    There will also be some extra saucy hotness thrown in for good measure.


    FIRST POST UPDATED!!!!!!

    Well, I know this will interest a few people.... this is being held at the VFW, and there is a bar at the VFW. I talked to them today and anyone that is 21 is welcome to go to the bar during the event. Not that you guys are drunks or anything, but I thought that you guys might like that.

    Also, we will have pizza available. Not sure on the prices yet.

    So, to recap: alcohol will be available.

    So, to recap: alcohol will be available as will unlimited quantities of soda.

    This is always a rule. I'm sure they wouldn't let the drinks leave the bar anyway.

    It's in October and that's a very long time for the NoVA peeps to even begin thinking about a tournament. With that being said, I plan on going.

    Holy sh*t !!!!!

    This looks like a great event (and only about 5 hours from Montreal) !

    I'll try to get some people from Montreal to come (including me and maybe Ugo Rivard, of Vintage fame).

    P.S.: Does anyone know what are the floor rules concerning bathroom breaks during a match ? Drinks and a Legacy tournament, that'll bring players to the event.

    Re: The EPIC DLD and MORE!!!!

    Ok, updates on the prizes: I know this is a bit iffy, seeing as no non-sponsored legacy tournament has done so, but if we get to 70 people, there will be an extra set of blue duals up for grabs.

    That's right, at 70 people the prize pool will look like this:

    4x Force of Will
    4x Underground Sea
    4x Tundra
    4x Tropical Island
    4x Volcanic Island
    4x BLUE DUALS (probably volcs cuz i have 7 already...)
    4x Taiga
    4x Bayou
    4x Badlands
    4x Scrubland
    4x Plateau
    4x Savannah
    4x Polluted Delta
    4x Survival of the Fittest
    4x BB Lightning Bolt
    4x Wasteland
    4x ???
    4x ???
    4x ???
    4x ???
    4x ???
    4x ???

    ???= a yet to be determined playset of cards valued somewhere between a set of Wastelands and a set of Polluted Deltas

    That means that 6th place could be picking up BLUE DUALS!

    Come on people, especially out-of-towners, start making those plans, cuz this is gonna be awesome!
