I'm relocating to Charlotte (haven't finalized the date yet) and will definitely be interested in Type 1 action once I get settled in.

Another thought could be a store credit prize structure. An example for an 8 player $10 entry fee could be store credit to the top 4.
4th $10
3rd $15
2nd $20
1st $35

Total entry fee becomes the prize pool in store credit. This way the top players win something, the store gains, and it is highly flexible. The hosting store never loses and would be attractive in the beginning for a store to try it out.

I wear glasses (progressive bifocals now)

I used to play without my (old) glasses. I could see my hand but sometimes had to lean forward to see what my opponent was playing. If I played with my (old) glasses, I could clearly see what my opponent was playing but my hand would be blurry unless I held them out from my body.

Now I just wear my new glasses to see clearly at both distances. I also wear a ball cap with the brim pulled low to reduce the chances of opponent seeing my cards in any reflection in the glasses.

Strange Type 1 bastardization. Why do they even bother? I'd rather just play Type 1.5 than this.

If you are allowing proxies, why ban the Power 9? If it is because some have all the power and want to level the field, then just allow 10 proxies.

Would be interested in learning the thought/reasons behind this if you know.

Hannah Games in St Louis looks like it might start having monthly Type 1
April they had a sanctioned tourny for an Alpha Mox Sapphire. They had 22 players I believe.

Also, The Gathering Ground in St Louis has been holding Type 1 on the 3rd Saturday of the month. Still building players. Store Credit goes to Top 4, total Store Credit is whatever the amount of Entry Fees collected were.

Even though it didn't matter in the long run, it very well could have. And those other rulings were hinky also.

BTW Jeff...I did think the split was a little lopsided but didn't say anything because hey...what do I know...I'm just getting into Type 1

Next time I'll voice my opinions and if they are stupid let them tell me so

Please explain how the following doesn't work.

Have LED in play, pop LED for the mana, discard hand, remove the madness cards from game, pay madness cost with the mana from LED.

Appreciate all the info. In job hunting mode and currently it looks like Charlotte might be my best chance.  

Just as the Type 1 scene is starting to grow in St Louis it looks like I'll have to leave it.

@argus definitely will PM if I end up in Charlotte. Maybe we can get the Type 1 action started again in Charlotte.

I may be relocating to Charlotte NC and was wondering if there is any Type 1 action in the area.

If not, where would the closest Type 1 action be?

Thanks

Ah....youth...believes what a recruiter says  

All I can say is I tried for Okinawa on 3 seperate reenlistments and never got there. Did my overseas time aboard ship. Did see more of the world that way but shipboard life can get VERY boring at times.

I agree, I'm not sure off the G addition.

I'm playing a WB Parfait, still doing some tweaking.

Think about switching out the Sacred Mesa for Goblin Charbelcher's.

My current build:

9 plains
1 swamp
1 mountain
1 bloodstained mire
1 serra's sanctum
2 scrubland
1 black lotus
1 mox diamond (probably will switch to a plateau)
1 mox jet
1 mox pearl
1 mox ruby
1 library of alexandria
1 sol ring

1 claws of gix
1 zuran orb
1 mind twist
4 cabal therapy
3 land tax
1 enlightened tutor
2 argivian find
3 swords to plowshares
4 orim's chant
3 isochron scepter
3 scroll rack
1 seal of cleansing
1 balance
1 demonic tutor
3 academy rector
2 goblin charbelcher
1 moat
1 ivory mask
1 humility
1 yawgmoth's bargain

This is still an early version but has been working well in my limited experience with it.  I have been lucky in getting the chant on a stick many times. Just remember, you can pay 2W (W for the kicker) to also prevent them from attacking.

Does anyone know where these are located now?  The links bring back nothing.
