Ok, I lied. This might be my return to Vintage. Just need to decide what do play lose with.

I think this might be the time for me for make a return to Vintage. Key word is might.

Not to mention, if I am reading it right, you don't even get the play the original spell you tried to cast.

I'm not sure. Wee Dragonauts has flying. There is no evasion on this guy.

Probably could do the same thing with black.

Sac to Cabal Ritual with a Threshold check.

Just checking due to Bauer rules... Decklists???

Thanks. Now to make a random deck out of whatever I have just to have fun for a day.

Nick, mark me as tenative. I'll know for sure on Thursday.

Gonna try. It's a tough choice between this, WMC qualifiers, and SCG IQs.

I plan on voting for black, because every Commander deck I seemingly ever build is black with something.

Previous decks: Shaarum, Nath, Thrax

Current decks: Horobi and Kish Val

Nick,

If you looking at professional alters, you might want to try to hook up with Chris Hanson, just incase you need another person to go to.

As it stands, I do have a conflicting event that I am running at Grim that day, plus I am not sure I would be able to lay out $100 the weekend before I leave for Vegas and Miami.

I really, really hope this works out, as this would be the exact type of event I would come out of a "Vintage retirement" for... even if I would be pissed off for never winning a round.

Now that's way too strong.

I have to agree fully with this. I voted for land again.

That is very, very tempting. What in the world would something like that actually cost and could I wirte it off as a business expense?  

EDit: On the assumption that $1,000 was just a guideline and not the guarenteed cost.

Just to add on to this. I know first hand that Grim is more than willing to host the event and have already asked me about how it effects the event I already have planned at Grim for the same weekend.

So, you are making a comment about something you know nothing about? That's fine, just know that it is the second most played "constructed" format the game has right now, behind standard.

As someone who knows a ton about Commander, I will say that the casual crowd loves lands that can so plenty of things. Not to mention, most players love playign with non-basic lands. For me, the fewer basic lands, the better my decks are.

I voted for land myself, as we have seen an instant/sorcery that stunk, we have seen a really broken artifact for Vintage (Crucible of Worlds), and we have seen a creature that can be debated on it's current state. Enchantments don't excite me at all, so land was the logical vote.

You know, as a moderator for this site, I think you would adhere to your own rules about staying on topic and not bashing part of your site's membership in a pretty cruel way. Indirectly telling Mets fans to commit suicide... seriously Nick. If that was your idea of a joke, then please take all the money you made from selling your collection to take sensitivity training instead of buying a house.

That said, glad to see Vintage in any form occuring outside of the Northeastern quarter of the United States.

Same deal for me.

Alright, I am making it a point to make this one, since I won't be making the 2/24 tourney.

I voted yes, but it honestly would be really dependent on a number of factors for me.

Also, I have to agree to open up the attendence and give away more prizes with more people showing up.

Houston, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Washington

Seattle vs Washington is going to be insane.

Nick, are you going to be at this one or just making the announcement? This is a critical question for me. Has nothing to do with playing in the event (which I will be unable to do anyone with other commitments) and everything to do with finishing a goal for the year.

Just so you remember, this is the weekend of GP AC, so I'm not sure how many people you are going to get.

The bigger concern would be the PTQ in North Jersey on the 6th. But again, most of those players wouldn't be coming to this event anyway.

And being a diehard means letting nothing distract you from the game. Same reason that I won't be there.

Actually, looks like it will be damn near impossible to go. Holiday party the night before means no way I'll be in any shape to play.

I pretty much agree with everything Nick said.

I personally do not have the time, energy, or money to play Magic Online or any Online game for that matter. Nor do I enjoy the concept of lsoing any real interactions that occur. I used to play on MTGO, but that was years ago, when I did have some false ambition of being a pro player.

Furthermore, with all the complicated rules and interactions Vintage has, I would be quite nervous to play such a game on a computer where "Misclicking" has been a problem for many people. Not to mention, taking every turn, while you are on a clock, will lead to many people not being able to play the decks they should be able to play in Vintage, leading to a metagame that will just be too different from real Vintage.

As much as I wish to give props to Raf for his decision, the best props of the night goes to the "Fruity Drink" story.

If that TV is on the Giants game (and I figure out how to borrow half a deck), I could see myself showing up.
