So what would the advantage of Snapback be? This type of deck would rather take a couple of points and play a card that will replace itself. And like you said, it comboes with Remora.

Your argument that if Remora isn't giving you cards, you should let it die anyways is wrong. If the opponent is not casting spells, then the fact that the control deck is getting into the mid-late game is reason enough to pay for it. Unless you are being beaten down by creatures, if Remora can act like a Standstill to put the game into stall mode, even without drawing you any cards, it is giving you the advantage in the end.

The EPIC Dual Land Draft and MORE!!!

Who: EPIC, and everybody else too.

What: A DLD bigger than any before. Entry fee is $30. This is to compensate for additional prizes. As you will see, the top 16 players will walk out with their entry fee back. This event WILL BE SANCTIONED. We will have a Level 2 judge running the event, you don't get much better than that without being Wizards sponsored.

Where: Baldwinsville, NY.

For those of you who have been, it is about 5 minutes from The Red Mill Inn.

When: 11 am, October 7, 2007. This is a Sunday, but also a 3 day weekend thanks to Mr. Columbus. Travel should be easy due to the long weekend, and I think everybody has enough notice, no excuses not to be here.

Registration begins at 10, tourney to begin promptly at 11.

Why: Because we wanna have an awesome tourney.

Prize support, bigger and better!!! Dual lands will be GUARANTEED, ON HAND, AND IN GOOD SHAPE.

Obviously since this is a DLD, there will be the standard 40 dual lands up for grabs. There will also be 10 more prizes offered. Because of the added prizes, they will go all the way to top 16. That's right, TOP 16 PRIZES!!! No draft sets here either, real prizes!

Here's the way it'll go down, After X rounds of swiss, top 8 will be announced, along with 9-16. Top 8 will have a playoff for their picks, 9-16 will be based upon standings because playing a top 16 takes too long. Here's the way the prizes will go.

1st place-1st pick and 9th pick
2nd place- 2nd pick and 10th pick
3rd place-3rd pick and 11th pick
4th place- 4th pick and 12th pick
5th place- 5th pick
6th place- 6th pick
7th place- 7th pick
8th place- 8th pick
9-16 get picks 13-20 in order by standings.

This means that there will be a normal dual land draft, plus 10 more picks given out.


Extra Prizes WILL include:
4x Wasteland
4x Polluted Delta
4x Beta Bolt
4x Survival of the Fittest
4x ???
4x ???
4x ???
4x ???
4x ???
4x ???

???= a yet to be determined playset of cards valued somewhere between a set of Wastelands and a set of Polluted Deltas. These will be updated when more prizes are determined.

The top 16 should get their money back with these prizes, and anybody has a shot at top 16, so you don't have to be a top player to walk out with a good prize.

The duals are guaranteed to be given out, top 16 prizes will be given out at 50 people, we should have no problem with this.

At 60 people we will be adding in a playset of Force of Will!

At 70 people we will add another 4 Blue Dual Lands!

There will also be random door prizes given out regardless of attendance.

We want this to be the biggest non-GP/convention Legacy tournament ever. The more people that show up, the better the prizes get!


Soda will be available for a small fee, which gets you UNLIMITED fountain soda. That's right, all-you-can-drink! Pizza will also be available.


This things gonna be EPIC!!!!
More details to come!!!
