(614) 262-5006

http://www.comictown.net/locations/

If you need to car pool to Columbus, post your needs and we'll find someone whom you can travel with. I'll start a signup if necessary.


WHEN: Sunday, June 24, 2012 1:00 PM EST

The store opens at 11:30 AM. Registration starts at 12:30 PM. Registration will close and the tournament begins at 1:00 PM, sharp. To save time, consider typing or writing up your decklist ahead of time.



PROXIES: UNLIMITED PROXIES will be permitted.

There are THREE ways of making proxies:

1) The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it.
2) PREFERRED! The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics. See: http://forums.starcitygames.com/viewtopic.php?t=291560 for more details on how to do this.
3) the third is to print out all 75 cards, and slip the sheet of paper into each sleeve. If you do this, every card must be proxied.



EXTRASVintage Achievements!

During each round of the main event, players will be given a checklist of Achievements for their match.  These Achievements mark noteworthy actions or game states that occur during the round and can/should be tracked by all players.  At the end of each round, the player that achieved the most during that round will win a door prize (randomized, in the case of tie).  Some examples of Achievements we will be using:

- Draw 7+ cards in a single turn
- Control 4+ copies of the same permanent
- Win a game on your first turn
- Cast Blightsteel Colossus
- Win a game in which your opponent controls/resolves Trinisphere, Jace the Mindsculptor, Oath of Druids or Tinker before you've had a turn
- Play two spells in a single game before you've had a turn
- Control all five original Moxen
- Take 12+ damage from Mana Crypt in a single game
- Control a Smokestack with 3+ counters on it
- Deck your opponent with Ancestral Recall
- Play the same spell (by name, no by card) 5+ times in a single turn
- Attack for exactly 1 damage ("Float like a Spirit Token, sting like a Welder!")
- Trade with a creature in combat
- And More!

I've got a good list of Vintage Achievements for this, but I'd like to get more ideas from all of you!

We want things that are not typical, but noteworthy.  Ideally, the player that wins the match will not always be the one with more achievements.

Not bad!  Perhaps too rare, though Wink

Vintage Achievements sounds like a really fun idea!

Here are some ideas off the top of my head:
- Add 8+ colorless Mana Drain mana to your pool
- Win the game with less than X cards in your library (3 might be fair)
- Have 7+ triggers to stack on an upkeep
- Take zero damage from Bob flips for an entire match (or some version of this, maybe take 15+ damage from Bob flips in a game?)
- While using Oath, reveal less than 3 cards before you find a creature
- Control 4+ different Legendary cards
- Control 6+ Basic Lands
- Have 4+ Exalted triggers
- Tinker a card other than Vault, Key, Lotus, or a robot
- Win a game while resolving 2 or less spells
- Serum Powder 4 times in one game
- Win a game while at 9 poision
- Win at least 10 dice rolls in one match

I hope some of these help.
