All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a magic card for a proxie!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. 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.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged

I'll be back in town for this. Get ready!

[JACO]

Ben Carp, Solymossy, Danny, and I will all be at this. Who else is coming?

[Mith]

I'll be there...looking forward to this.

[hvndr3d y34r h3x]

I've got a pile ready for this.

[quicksilvervii]

Hell yea!  Good luck to the regular crew back in the Midwest.

Any updates during the day appreciated (;

Richard (Omniscience/Show and Tell) beat Soly (Burning Oath) in the finals.  Soly then verbally abused Richard for 5 or 10 minutes.  It was embarassing and made me sad.

I took 3rd, Travis took 4th.  Both of us played Landstill.  I'll probably be back in another 3 months.

Talking shit when Soly can't defend himself on here? Excellent LOL

Good to see some fellows reppn' landstill...I won the day before on landstill, cool shit dudes!

[Smmenen]

Haha!  Soly told me on FB that he lost to a too decked tinker the turn before he was about to win with my deck in the finals.  Said he beat Carps Landstill in the top 4.

Close, but Travis only had 2 wins and did not make Top 4 (or even Top 5, who was James King who lost out a Top 4 birth on tiebreakers). Top 4 was Richard (Rector Omniscience Tell) beating me (4C Valuetown Control) 2-1, and Ben Carp (UR Landstill) who lost 0-2 to Soly (Burning Long). Richard then beat Soly 2-0 in the finals, and as mentioned the Soly-Tilt-O-Meter hit 10. Richard's deck was sick.

The field was sweet. Last time there were like 35% Workshop decks, and today there was either 0 or 1. There were a couple of Dredge decks last time and this month 0. There was at least 3 different Omniscience decks, a couple of UR Landstill decks, UWB Bomberman, 4C Control, a few Gush decks, a Burning Long, and who knows what else. It was a fun tournament, and congrats to Richard for taking the whole thing down!

Soly losing to a topdeck is kind of like a groundhog seeing its shadow.  We're all in for 6 more weeks of "Ban Blightsteel Colossus" talk.

Congrats to Richard, and hopefully next month I hope to A) have remembered to put a new deck together, and B) learned how to properly mulligan until I have actual "business".
