Wouldn't doubt that at all. At a local hobby store, there were 2 or 3 people who were good enough to stick them into pegboard from around 6-8 feet. They generally make nice clean cuts, too.

About me : I began playing Magic in the fall of 1994. I "stopped" playing in the winter of 2001. I never completely stopped, but I just mainly played a bit when each expansion came out with some close friends. I've probably played in 6-10 tournaments since then, either Vintage or pre-realeases, mostly. The main reason that I stopped was that the local scene had become rather unfriendly.

I won't say that I was completely innocent of being dismissive towards ideas of newer players...but I always tried to be nice to new players. There were some people in the local scene, however, that I did not get along with (having nothing to do with their ability.) So, I played less and less up until that winter...and then our local shop closed.

I had a rather interesting weekend this past week. I attended GenCon and played in the Vintage Champs. My rustiness was blatantly obvious (even to me before heading up), but I wanted to try. Here's some things I learned:
1) I am very rusty...but all the gears are still there, of that I am sure. I need to brush up on rules (especially newer keywords.)
2) It is not a "good thing" to face TK in the first round, at least not from a strategy standpoint. At the end of the match however, I had come to the conclusion that I couldn't have asked for a more "gentle" re-introduction into the tournament scene as far as cordiality.
3) My conclusion in #2 was not as true as I had feared. Pretty much everyone I faced was very cordial. There was only one exception...and he was just quiet and a bit terse, not really rude at all. I got the impression he was just having a bad tourney (as I was.)
4) I should have played the deck I built a couple of weeks ago and had practiced. At least then, when I was losing horribly, I may have had a chance to surprise someone with something unexpected...but alas, I went with SS...and only about 6 games of practice against a single deck. Good thing I didn't expect to win.
5) Stifle = good...it has so many uses. Stifle = bad...it makes you get current Oracle wording on some cards you haven't seen played in years, which can get really complicated.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself...and ask, are most larger Vintage tourneys like this? Or are there still lots of jerks out there, and I just got lucky? If most of the players are nice and mature like this weekend, I might get back into the scene a bit more. See ya at Dragon*Con.
