Vintage tournaments are still uncommon here in Japan, so I decided to organise my own tournament in order to push the Legacy players to get interested in the oldest format of Magic. The first edition of Vintage from Tokyo was held this Sunday in Ikebukuro, and gathered 24 people, which is a pretty good number actually. I decided to make an Proxy allowed tournament, with no limitation, neither on the number of proxies nor on the way to make them: Cheaters don't exist in the Japanese Eternal population
. Prizes were: Pernicious Deed DCI FOIL + Boosters, Wheel of Fortune RV + Boosters, boosters and Foils and rare stuff for third and fourth. I participated to my own tournament (pretty tough!) playing my Mono-Red Version of Belcher (<a href="
