    Hey I'll be in Kiawah Island in SC next week and I was wondering if there are any stores in Charleston.

    Anything new spring up around the Boston area, I know there were posts a few pages back, dating back to '06 about there not really being much. I know Worcester/Springfield have stores with weekly events, and that place in Brockton apparently does, but haven't seen much about greater Boston area. Currently living a bit south of the area, but hopefully moving to the city soon if so will be stuck with public transportation though.

    Re: Weekly 1.5 tournaments - Where's yours?

    Oh well. thought I had a good place locked down and it was cancelled due to "lack of interest". I did a search on the WOTC locator and nothing (but the place I just mentioned) comes up within an hours distance. I live 18 miles from NYC I can't believe there's no place to play! Even Neutral Ground doesn't do Legacy as per their events calender so now I'm pretty much screwed. Wish I knew that before spending $150 to update my deck.

    Re: Weekly 1.5 tournaments - Where's yours?

    I in NJ myself, and it is hard to find Legacy tournies for sure. Type 2 and draft all over the place, but Legacy gets no love. I guess its going to take people like us to make the interest happen. Maybe with Legacy being in Worlds now, it might catch on. Anyway, I am pretty much smack dad in the middle of NJ and people wanting good matches in the general vicinity just pm me. The shops are there, just not enough Legacy players. WE have to change that.

    Re: Weekly 1.5 tournaments - Where's yours?

    Where in Jersey you at?

    I've become friendly with the guy who owns the shop in LI and he explained to me that he WOULD run them, but that Legacy guys want good prize support like duals or something and he can't afford to offer that for a 6 player turn out.

    I don't really know what kinda prize support the guys here see at a local level. I've seen bigger events with great stuff, but I dunno what would interest anyone.

    Do you know where Great Adventure is in NJ? Yeah, I live there in an otherwise not very well known town called Jackson. If you aren't too far when you are at your grandma's house, we should get some matches together. Meh, more people have to play Legacy. No. of friends that play Type 2: 10, No. of friends that play Legacy: 1......

    Re: Weekly 1.5 tournaments - Where's yours?

    That's about an hour and a half from me. Not too bad. Are you thinking about doing any of the bigger events listed in this forum? I should deffinately be able to do CT. I've got my first baby on the way in 2 weeks or less (god help me) so I dunno how traveling is gonna fare in the next few weeks.

    For now I'm just gonna suffer through some Standard FNM just to get back into the game. I don't look forward to it, but I love my deck and am seriously trying to get it to work in Legacy. It'll be some much needed practice at the very least.

    I am probably going to wait until one comes up in either NY or Philly. Maybe if we put our heads together we can get a NJ event going. I gotta a two man legacy game squad. Lol, its a start I guess.

    Good luck with Standard. I thought about it myself, but now I just tweak some of my friends decks for them. It kinda keeps me updated with the cards at least. Still I think once we are used to Legacy, its so hard to go back...

    I hope everything goes well with the baby! Becoming a father has to be somewhat stressful. Well, hopefully we can get some matches going sometime when things settle down.

    Re: Weekly 1.5 tournaments - Where's yours?

    Sounds good to me. I'm sure we can find some store to get something going if we can get enough interest generated.

    I have to agree with you on Legacy and Standard though. I can't stand the latter. You spend all the time tweaking, testing, playing a new deck until it's good enough, then half your cards get dumped when the new block comes in. It's one thing to lose some aggro creatures that will presumably be replaced, but lose something like Bob or half a combo piece and you're SOL. Now you have to spend more money to get back up to snuff. Ah whatever. All the expensive cards I bought from RAV are good LEgacy staples anyway.

    Thanks for the kind wishes. I have 13 days of peace left!

    Anyone know any Legacy weekly tournaments close to Irvine, there doesn't much around there except some type 2. I'd like to find something so I can test and find players to play with since it's pretty barren near there.

    Legacy tournaments starting in October, every two weeks. Saturday at 7PM. $5 entry. Store credit for top 3.

    The store itself has a great selection of cards, very organized. I used to play T1 there a few years back, and the atmosphere was very friendly then.
