Last tournament here had a meager showing, hopefully more can show up!

What is this 10 Proxy bullshit that has been popping up everywhere?

Proxies are bad for formats, just look at Vintage.

[Julian23]

I question your reasoning regarding cause and effect.

Proxys are usually not the cause but the effect of a "bad" format in terms of # of people playing it. You know why.

[mchainmail]

I'll keep asking... anyone know of a good place to get Proxy Foil Explorations?

[cyclopsismydad]

Bumping this tournament.

I just wanted to say that this is a Drexel University sponsored tournament being held at Redcap's corner. The proxies are there to help involve the Drexel magic group in more competitive constructed formats. Many of the newer members of the Drexel club do not have access to the collections that the rest of us have been building for years. The first Drexel legacy tournament about a year ago had an amazing showing of something around 35+ people despite being poorly advertised, and the prize then was half as good as this one here. Better prizes, better location. I am psyched.

Looks like another tournament I have to convince my friends not to play Dragon Stompy (sigh)

But it's a small tournament... dstompy is well positioned!

Dragon Stompy is always well positioned. and yeah, start convincing me now.

[cyclopsismydad]

Bumping this again. This one has been totally off the radar, but I talked a lot of people at the edison 5k to head over to this so it should be good.

[Tammit67]

Half a week away, let's get some people involved in this

[Tammit67]

Bumpity. I guess Redcaps is expecting a lot of Drexel students without source accounts.

[mchainmail]

I top 8ed, as did Mark Tocco and 6 other people.

Is there any chance of getting top 8 lists posted?

[BigStanDaddy]

I top 8ed as well with zoo :)

[lep]

Do we know the top 8? I went but bombed out sadly. It was a fun event though and ran really smoothly. I am hoping to go back to their GPT on April 17th.

[BigStanDaddy]

[Redcap's Corner]
