Haven't played Vintage in forever.  Guess i'll come.

Crazy Asian will be in the house

~Chester

Just read about ELD's great finish after coming back from world's.  Definitely awesome!

~Chesta

29 players attended this event with a lot of prizes given out.  2 door prizes every round as well as 9th-16th prizes.  There were technical difficulties starting off with printers and parking issues.  A crew race at the Charles river caused the extra traffic in Boston.  The printer was up and online by round 2.

Special to the staff and store for hosting this event and Dan Cunningham for helping me with this report.

~Chester "Crazy Asian" Li

4x Deltas - $44
4x Strand - $36
4x Mire - $28

Any other questions please call 203.506.1336

Back from Valencia with cards and cash.  Buying and selling to the max!

Updates!

After much deliberation, I have decided to ban Nate Pease from this T1 event.  This has been a topic of debate for me for the past few days and this is the decision that I have reach.  I hope that this will optimize the number of attendees at this tournament.

Prize updates.

As posted this is the prize if 25 people show up

Mox Jet
4x Polluted Delta
4x Flooded Strand
4x Bloodstained Mire

Obviously if the number exceed 25, prizes will increase.

SIDE EVENTS

8-man single-elimination pods for a dual ($5)
The first 8 to drop get free entree into this event

ALSO

Here's a cool one.  I will be giving out $30 in cards for the highest placing deck with Quicken AND Tendrils in it.  I just think it's so fun.

Any more question or concerns please contact or call 203.506.1336

After some investigation I stand corrected.  The Lorwyn prerelease was 1 week later than usual.  However, this does not affect the Constructed-legal timing of Lorwyn.  Thanks for the correction.

LORWYN WILL BE LEGAL FOR THIS EVENT.

Please post any more questions or concerns.

~Chester "Crazy Asian" Li

Just to answer a few of the questions that have been raised.

1) Lorwyn will NOT be legal for this event.  The date that sets are legal after release is almost always two weeks after.  Even though Lorwyn is a bit weird in the cycle of release this will not change for this event.

2) Food and drink will be served all day at the site.

3) There is parking available behind the store.

4) Quicken + Tendrils = GG

Please feel free to ask any more questions or concerns that you may have.
