OK heres my view of it I called down to my old shop where i used to play and the store basically clears out when the proxy tournament starts. Only players there no one to watch but the non proxie tournies is the store full of spectators I do not know if thats good or bad but i say its bad really bad.

The standard tournies is sure fun to watch but the format demands a lot more time and money to play then the store is full to the fire escape limit every time.

But like you say its gotta be fun to sit and drop that lotus and say: 

I know what you think and yes its real.

( I think I'm going to have a T-shirt printed with the text "YES MY POWER NINE IS REAL THANK YOU VERY MUCH"  )

happy Kowal???? and it is NOT disrespectful to English its a typing error that is so common I did not see it when i read the post sorry if you feel disrespected that is not my intent thank you.

Since I haven't played in a long time I have a good question:

What do YOU think about proxies in tournament play

Me for one think its destroying the feel of owning the actual power nine cards.

And in that destroying the format

whats your opinion

  COOL disburden I think i will dust off my old deck to then.

Do u have a essential magic account I think ive seen u there if its the same person. 

I think I will swap some cards from the new series 

thanks this is a sad/happy day for me but still I hope to get back in the saddle as its called.

thanks guys hope to see you on MWS.

My name there is SNAKE

Hi im new to your forums and willing to learn (again).

I played magic 4 years ago so in not a total noob in the game i started again when i got MWS.

I have one question doesn't anybody play the old school academy deck i played when i stopped? (haven't seen any post so far on it)

And also I've seen many decks SB mentioning a deck featuring Ichorid I have yet to be convinced that this deck is good enough to win a pro tournament.

Thanks for this forum guys seems nice
