1  Eternal Formats / Northeast U.S. / Re: The 2015 Eternal Weekend! $20,000+ in prizes! Philadelphia, PA! August 21-23! on: August 24, 2015, 06:12:39 pm
The event looked fantastic on coverage - even when people were playing in the dark. 13 rounds of awesome, with everything anyone could want (except not a Doomsday on camera, boo...) And I was glad that the Shops mirrors look like they are getting more interesting to watch.

Mad props to the winner - Brian's deck looked sick. Also glad that Dredge didn't win (even if it provided one of the more entertaining games against Shops.)

Also, it looked a lot more 'hands off' from a Judging perspective than the legacy event. That's typically a good thing...

By the way.  I am in favor of Restricting Dark Ritual, Mana Drain, Mishra's Workshop, and Bazaar of Baghdad.  Those cards are all nuts, and if they were gone we would have much more room to play with when designing new decks.  The problem with these cards is that they are so much more powerful than all of the other unrestricted cards in the format that not building around at least one of them automatically makes one's deck flawed.  For instance, why isn't goblins good?  Because it doesn't play one of those four cards.  Also that it doesn't play Yawgmoth's Will.  If the Vintage crux--meaning, I start my deck with 4x busted unrestricted card, didn't exist we would see more decks that would be able to compete.

Ahem...

Congrats to all for a great tournament. It was lots of fun to see faces attached to the names I read on this forum. 99.9% of you exemplified what great sportsmanship really means - and at least one of you applied the beats on sunday with TERRIBLE Time Spiral cards ;P
