This will prolly get deleted but I don't care.
Legacy tournament or gtfo.
Nah, it's a solid event, and there might be some interest. If not, it fades into obscurity.
Edit - Oh, you meant your post. Well, you're an idiot.
Its okay guys, Ichorid is a good Vintage deck too
I know there are no legacy tournaments at this Star City event, but I wish I could live near that store. Do you know how awesome events would be that we could put together for Legacy with the support of a store like that?
Damn, I wish there was a store like that near us.
~Shriek~
Not that I'm going to Richmond for this, but some Legacy side events would be cool. At least try to generate some interest in the format, right?

-I don't think this one was a joke...
Hi, I'm a redic tournament. Sure, there isn't any Legacy there, but hey, it's still a redic tournament. As your mother should have told you, if you don't have something nice to say, shut your fucking mouth.
Please keep the comments in this thread on what will be at the event, not on what won't be.
I actually want to play in this - Vintage, that is.
I am going down to play type I at this. Amazing prize structure. reasonably priced. 7 hour drive, sure.
