All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a magic card for a proxie!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged


hoping to see you there.

cheers,
Cal

King of the Hill
Some of you remember the "Title Belt" thing i used to do. Well, it's back and it's improved.
How it works:
If you manage to have the belt at any point in the day, you gain a point.
If you end the day with the belt, you gain 5 points and free entry to the next event.
If you top 8 that next event, you get $50 credit added and another point.

The points feed into byes for the Invitational and EE events as well. Points leader will get a 2 round bye to the BMG Invi as well as paid entry. Next 3 points leaders will get a 1 round bye. 2nd place point leader will also get paid entry.

But Cal, how do i know if i Q'd for the Invi or not?

I'll go dig the lists out tonite and get that to ya bro. If i recall it was about 6 or 7. i'm leaning towards 6 being the right number. not a good day to be in the MUD.

Where are you coming from and do you plan to visit any of the surrounding major cities is the question. Lehigh Valley airport is an option as it's only about a 15min drive to the site. Philly and Newark are the closest major airports though. or Harrisburg too actually.

All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a magic card for a proxie!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged


hoping to see you there.

Cal

What Chubby Rain said. the proxies will follow BMG proxy rules which are as follows. I'll be onsite as well to check any that need to be looked at for legality

*Be prepared for some Calvin style silliness this wknd as we'll be recording parts of the event*

HEY GUUUUUUUUYS!!!!!!! there is a VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE IN THE EVENT DETAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saying, pay attention.

The secret is out!!! there will be feature matches this event!!! All chosen at random!!! And this event will feed into AU Holmes's event as well which has been rescheduled to Sunday the 16th!!! Entry there is $30 as well. However, I will pay $5 of anyone who attends both events entry and anyone who top 8's my event, I WILL BE PAYING YOUR ENTRY TO THIS EVENT!!!!! That's right, top 8 at the BMG event and you basically freeroll the AU Holmes event.

https://www.facebook.com/events/1707158226179156/?ref=2&ref_dashboard_filter=calendar&action_history=null

Entry: $30.

Proxies: 10 total allowed. 5 free. $1 per after that.

payout: 1: 400 and 5 King of the Hill points
2: 200
3-4: 100
5-8: 50

*ALSO with swiss round secret stash*

King of the Hill
Some of you remember the "Title Belt" thing i used to do. Well, it's back and it's improved.
How it works:
If you manage to have the belt at any point in the day, you gain a point.
If you end the day with the belt, you gain 5 points and free entry to the next event.
If you top 8 that next event, you get $50 credit added and another point.

The points feed into byes for the Invitational and EE events as well.
Hope that's fairly clear.


All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a magic card for a proxie!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged


hoping to see you there.

cheers,
Cal

PS: by the way, some of you are in the know about the "specials" happening during the swiss rounds for this event. Please keep it under wraps.

35 in attendance in lancaster to jam vintage, eat pizza, and win "THE BELT".

Zohar Bhagat took it down jamming his 4c Landstill list(i thought it was keeper at first glance myself). He and Matt Klinkhammer ran hot almost all day. Will Dayton making T4 again(he's on a major heater this year if you haven't noticed). Josh Potucek rounds out our T4 jamming an epser blade variant(he's on a hotstreak too come to think of it).
