I think we should just get 32 or more entrants.

That said, I plan on rallying all the troops in Northern Virginia for this. We should have two cars going, probably six or seven people.

Let's do this! Hype hype hype hype!

more vintage on the east coast? good deal. But honestly, 20 proxies sounds like too many.

Forgot to put that there. It is. But I do have to enforce adjusting, as I have to pay the store a percentage, but I doubt the turnout will be an issue. Will update the OP.

I make these 20 to get locals and the less inclined to play. It has helped the local turnout a LOT. I am very interested to know why you think 20 is too many? Wouldn't you rather have more people in the event? I do make people use decent proxies for clarity.

The 23rd .. youve got to be kidding me ... im sorry I wont be able to make this ... I will be preoccupied with a Charming Billy moment (only Lochinvar and a handful of other will get that one)

A thought; a lot of tournaments offer 10 proxies and then charge a dollar per proxy after that. You could set aside the proxy money as a 9th place prize or a prize for the best forming unpowered deck

I do personally feel like 20 is a bit much. If youre in a position where you need 20 proxies to assemble a deck, then youre likely not someone who plays eternal magic, which likely means youre not the type of person who is going to drop $25 for a tournament in a format youre unfamiliar with. Most people have friends who will loan them cards to get them under the proxy #

20 proxies seems fine at an event like this which is a bit more casual.  In general, I consider less proxies to be more "hardcore" as it only attracts people that have bought in to some degree.

Expect a lot of nice friendly games, unless you face me.

First, I'm sorry to hear you can't make it. I'd love to hear the story behind the reference, lol.

I considered the extra fee for proxies after the fact, so I will next time. Like I said earlier, it helps the locals a lot. Me and Paul Lynch ARE the Baltimore Vintage players, as far as card availability, save for a couple folks with Dredge, or such. The Legacy explosion has helped encourage people to own cards, but me and Paul are the only people who can build serious 10-proxy limit decks around here. We will most likely be lending already, but we only have so much, especially since I give away most of my top tier cards, lol. I just believe the more, the merrier. And, of course, the bottom line is, the more who attend, the more likely there will be more events. I still like Vintage more than Legacy, and I want to get more people back into it.

IDK, we have become better, we just need a format refresher. The weekly Legacy practices are converting to Vintage until the tourney. Some of these kids are out for blood, lol.

[Pokey]

Xanadu always has awesome legacy events, so naturally I was pretty stoked to hear about a vintage tournament!  I think this will be the first time ever that I don't have to drive two hours away to play vintage.

Whoa there, you forgot about the my brother and me as Baltimore Vintage players too or did you forget?  Lol.

Touche. I thought you guys lived kinda out of town, not in the metro area. Anyways, I meant more as facilitators, helping with building and testing, and organizing the community. Again, the more, the merrier. Let's make this hype!

[Valorale]

BTW forget everything I said about not being able to make it ... I will be there =p

[TripleAgent]

This Saturday! We're hype, turnout looks promising, let's go!
