ELD's Mox XIV Saturday May 24th - Fall River, MA

[ELD]

I'm pleased to announce my 14th Mox Tournament.  The Custom Card for this event is a Textless Tarmogoyf:

I've worked out the sketches for it, and I'll be revealing the full art the week of the event.  Here's the sneak peak without the art:



I appreciate all the support I've received from the community, and anticipate the continued growth of Vintage in New England.  These Custom Cards do not take away from the prize pool at all.  They are an extra way of saying thank you. 

First place prize will be a Signed Time Walk.


Here are the details:

I am going to give away the Tiime Walk regardless of attendance.  Prizes will be adjusted based on attendance.  100% of the entry fees will be put towards the prizes.  That's what to expect out of all of my tournaments.

ELD Proxies do not count towards the proxy limit at ELD or Myriad Games events.  These are the ELD Proxies:



I've been receiving a lot of inquiries about my proxies and custom work.  I sell the ELD Proxies at $15 each.  I also take commissions to make any proxy.  These commissioned proxies are not considered ELD Proxies, so they do count towards your proxy count at ELD and Myriad Events. 

Cost
$25. 

Registration begins at 10:00 AM.  Decklists must be received by 11:00 AM.  The tournament will begin at 11:30 AM sharp.  Swiss rounds based on attendance - Cut to top 8. 

Proxy rules
15 Proxies.  ELD Proxies from my previous events do not count towards your proxy limit. 

Side Event:
There has been a lot of interest in side events at my tournaments.  Stillpoint will be sponsoring the side event, and it will be a Shadowmore Draft, with an Underground Sea for the winner.  The draft will be $15.  The draft will start as soon as we have 8 people signed up. 

Also -
Pizza will be available by the slice, as well as snacks and soda.
Side Drafts will take be available all day with discounted draft sets.
I will have singles for trade/sale
I will be buying cards.
      Commons/Uncommons/Lands mixed (at least 10% uncommon) @ $5 per 1000
      Bulk rares @ $0.10 each
      Bulk Foils @ $0.05 each
      Bulk Foil Rares @ $0.25 each
      I'll be buying any and all cards – turn your unwanted cards into cash!

Look forward to seeing you all there.

I'm already there in my mind. It would be nice if it could be at Stillpoint again!

Ask and you shall receive.  Just ironed out the details with Stillpoint, and we will be returning to their spacious store for this event.  We've also set up a side event.  It will be a 8 person $15 Shadowmore Draft with 1st place being an Underground Sea!  I just purchased two large collections, so the prizes are very straight forward right now.  I'll add more options once I sort out all the crazy foils/asian cards I acquired.

I already have the Time Walk in my mind. You can pre-register me.

[T00L]

Lets see if I can win two time walks in a month shall we? Prereg me plz

[ELD]

I'll be unveiling the door prize, and hopefully the finished Top 8 Tarmogoyf at Scholar's tomorrow night.  With less than a week to go to this event, Monday Night Vintage is a great way to get in some testing.  The Foil Mox Ruby for the pre-registration door prize is my favorite foil yet, so be sure to pre-reg by 11:59 PM Thursday Friday.  Of course, the earlier you pre-reg, the easier it makes it on me, but knowing who plans to attend makes it much easier to set up in the venue.

[Nefarias]

I plan to attend.

[wraith985]

stefan convinced me to go. it's my first NE tournament so i'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Foil ELD Proxy Ruby added to original post.  Everyone comments on how they are so much more shiny in real life, so I tried to get a pic that shows it.  Looks like the best way to see for sure is still pre-reging, and seeing it in person.  See you guys Saturday.  The Goyfs are down to the detail work, so I should finish them with 4-8 hours of work tomorrow.  I'll get a scan up ASAP.

[The Atog Lord]

The Ruby is, indeed, quite shiny.

[Thicketman]

I'm ready this time. You can include that ruby along with my time walk winnings 

[ELD]

The Lhurgoyfs Cometh!.  As with all my events now, they are Gold Numbered for 1st-8th, and dated with for the event.  Ach!  Hans, Run!

[sundering jerk]

Anyone in CT wanna carpool? I have a car or I could help with gas money.

 

No way I'm driving by myself for over 2 hours

[ELD]

Thank you to everyone who attended.  While a Legacy event and Memorial Day weekend plans took a small bite out of attendance, it did nothing to diminish the competition.  A full report will be up after this weekend.  I'll be at Scholar's this Monday, along with several other players who can fill curious parties in on the action from this event.  Thanks again, and I look forward to hosting another event soon!

[Thicketman]

I am eager to see the decklists. I think I may finally give into netdecking. 

[Morphling420]

how many people showed what were the prizes that were taken, decklists?

[ELD]

I've been swamped, so here are some details until I get the full report finished.

There were 19 players, which was pretty good considering there was a Legacy event the same day, as well as Memorial Day weekend plans to compete with.  The Top 8 had 7 Painter decks, with a lone Flash deck as the stand out.  Top 4 Split and took the buyback. 

The prize pool was pretty stacked. 

5th-8th ended up taking some crazy Asian stuff - Playsets of Saga Duresses, Gushes, Signed Street Wraiths as well as a Black Bordered Mana Vault.  The Top 4 could have walked with tons of different stuff, but I would think these would have been worth the most:

Time Walk
Foil Saviors Pithing Needle
Foil Gifts Ungiven
Foil Tinker

There were tons of cards to choose from, like Asian Tolarian Academies, Foil Scourge Tendrils and a bunch of other pimped out Vintage Swag. 

[ELD]

Full Report is up.  Thanks again to everyone who made this event a success.  June is already full, so I'm not sure when my next event will be.  I will be attending as many events as I can though, Pandemonium tomorrow, and tons of other Vintage on the horizon.
