twitch lets you issue temp keys to allow others to stream, but not administer your twitch.

The tapped clause is an unneeded kick in the nuts.

As part of the Giga-Bites Legacy Series they are hosting sanctioned Vintage the evening before the Legacy main event. For those coming in from out of town please show up the night before and play in the deep end of the pool!

Note: Vintage is Saturday night, Legacy is Sunday for a Timetwister.

Vintage has been added to the schedule for March 12th at 7:00pm! Entry will be $10 and the prize pool includes:

1 Winter Mishra's Factory
1 Set Foil Tasigur, the Golden Fang
1 Signed True Name Nemesis
1 Spanish Vendilion Clique

The organizer is allocating some prizes for unpowered decks. I will follow up with exactly how they will be allocated.

Both the Vintage event and the Legacy event on Sunday will be streamed live on Tusk Vision!

Saw it, voted for Mike Long and Dennis Bentley.

I love that you ran Library and Anti-Library in the same deck and gave not a F.

Argh! Going to miss this by one week. I'll be in Palo Alto the prior weekend.

Bump! This Friday.

Not sure how any of these questions relate to sanctioned Vintage. Just to be clear this is sanctioned vintage (see the title). One other note, the prizes do translate (reasonably well) to SCG store credit. But you have to have 100 tickets to get a gift card ($25). So if you are looking for store credit keep that in mind when counting up your duckets.

Nimbus Maze is next ... U/w Wailing tempo (?)

We've had U/g/b survival with Vines at our local sanctioned. He was U/g aggro with sotf for a toolbox of fairly obvious good creatures. He also had sotf to enable a combo kill with Flash (via Worldspine Wurm).

It's perfectly playable, just like Managorger is ... but you better craft your deck to punish the token strategies, which likely means playing Black if you aren't building to the cards strengths your efforts will fail.

Sanctioned as hell.

The funny thing is I included it in the list i shipped him mostly because my local sanctioned vintage has 2 players on 8-12 pillar effect Vintage burn ... the sphinx via Tinker is the only hope many times. But it's a pretty decent bot these days even in a proxy field.

Join us for the only sanctioned Vintage tournament in town! Streamed by Team Tusk!

http://www.twitch.tv/tuskvision/

Entry is $10. We will play 4 rounds and award prizes based upon standing at the end of the 4th round. We had 13 players last time and everyone appeared to have a really good time. Team Tusk will provide additional prizes to draft from for players that enter unpowered!

The prizes for February will be:

1st: Foil Deathrite Shaman
2nd: Korean Vampiric Tutor
3rd: Gwendlyn Di Corci
4th: Foil Tinker

Making sure these fire at their GPs would go a long way to making that happen!

Time Spiral and Pally are reserved list so they are non starters. But your point is well taken ... a Dark Ritual with some absolutely hideous art is expected.

I feel like the mechanic in Dale Earnhardt's garage ... build it and watch the The Intimidator run it to the checkered flag.

This is true. The BET awards have only seen 2-3 white people nominated, the voting body is 95% black. The chance of Ang Lee winning a BET award is low.

So Eternal Masters, old bordered begrudgingly with a hologram with only non reserved list cards might help a bit but mana bases are still the most expensive cards. Another problem for this set is appealing to eternal players would mean keeping the art, which would mean royalties in some cases. I guess they did it with Time Spiral so there is precedent. I suppose they could put the photoshop WoW trash in old border. Either way the originals will just continue to go up given the demand increasing.

 (101 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares)

Or how about the mythics as old bordered ?

Force of Will
Karakas
Wasteland
Dack Fayden (could use a reprint)
Liliana of the Veil
Imperial Recruiter
Tarmogoyf
Sol Ring (old bordered foil ... would probably be savage)
Mana Crypt (same thing)
Lodestone Golem (and print it in Korean so I can fap)
Some crappy cycle like the Titans / Invasion-Legends Dragons ...

Maybe choose a couple of eternal themes to help drafting, plenty of tribal (Rath Block Slivers, Merfolk, Elves, Goblins, Soldiers all have some things that could use a reprint).

Put the Zendifetches @ Rare to help squelch the cries.

I also watched this the other night on the recommendation from Klep in this thread. It was fantastic. Josh Brolin was great also with his aura of control, confidence and almost righteous authority. BDT was able to take scenes without saying hardly anything. Emily Blunt was perfect as the patsy, you could sympathize enough with her to feel bad as her world view gets battered around and eventually shattered. Super film, surprised it didn't get a nod in something, but I haven't seen some of the other films that beat it out.


They also avoided Chinese American people, Pakistani American people, and a huge number of nominees are right handed which personally left me feeling excluded. Are movies featuring not 'white people' supposed to get special dispensation? I honestly don't know. Was Creed or SoCs blackness a factor for inclusion or exclusion in your opinion? I saw both and didn't really hone in on their inherent blackness or whiteness. I was more upset that they left Ren out of the story for the most part, he's also black. For semi-biographical takes like The Big Short, Spotlight or Bridge of Spies where no black people or Chinese people were actually involved do you feel like they should go out of their way to add black people or a random Mexican person? In SooC would a Japanese Eazy-E have made sense? Do you think the Academy voters hate black people consciously or do you think they subconsciously dismiss superior efforts of black people?

Star City Games has heard the requests for Vintage side events. If you are in anyway considering heading to Grand Prix Washington D.C., try your best to make it! Show them that it's worth scheduling these events and let's make sure they fire with a respectable number of players. Their efforts in Atlanta for the GP were received and all the Vintage events fired, it was a blast!

These events are sanctioned.

They (will!) fire everyday at 1:50pm, Star City also heard the community and prize tickets can now be exchanged for SCG credit in the form of gift cards. Plenty of eternal staples for sale. Additionally at the GP you can expect Star City to have their played inventory, I bought a beta Tundra and two beta Underground Seas at GP Atlanta and got great deals on both.

Artist alley is also released and it's pretty good. Jesper Myrfors, Terese Nielsen are the headliners.

The details can be found here.

Make every effort to attend at least one of these to show Star City that it's worth supporting Vintage!

Jesper is a god. It was sick to meet him again in Seattle.

I think you answered your own question.

LOL but no Lotus? Get off the soapbox.

Friday, February 5at 8 PM, get Ziggy out, he is a coward who has missed the previous two. He's still scarred from GP Atlanta.

I own everything, no white border cards that aren't P3K. I hate proxies and looking at poorly made ones irritates me as I enjoy the aesthetics of a nice looking vintage deck. That being said I wish they'd abolish the reserved list and judiciously reprint cards off it (the foil loophole closing was really a shame). I also wish they'd allow IE/CE/Gold cards, that are unmarked.

LOL, well I think he punts savagely. But his opponent (in the Tusk shirt) verbally acknowledges his life total of 40. I can't see what else Morgan (on the right) had in hand or whether he should have been dead to Cthulu. Either way, good for him it was a warm up match :p

Anyway, thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. Hopefully we'll be streaming live sanctioned vintage once a month. The organizer is stoked that it fired!

I'll check it out, I think the first match is just a warm up. We didn't have commentary or accurate (?) life until round 2. Our commentary monkey showed up late!

What store wants to risk poking the bear, losing pre-releases, losing FNM, losing possibly access to promos and wholesale pricing just to host a $10 entry 10-30 person Vintage event for which they might sell ~$100 in singles? If I owned a store I'd decline.

Man, I thought everyone would get my bad joke.
