Sanctioned Vintage at Scholars September 16th

Sanctioned Vintage continues to be a great success, and will return on September 16th at Scholars, the home of the longest running weekly Vintage series anywhere. The player pool is growing, with our last event being our biggest yet, despite several prominent players being unable to make it at the last minute. It's possible we'll be breaking into 5 round territory for this one. Extra players directly increase the prize pool, so the more the merrier.

The highest finishing Unpowered Deck* will receive a prize, so the value is insane. Last time, the Highest Unpowered Deck was a win away from Top 4 again. Who's going to be the first one to win not only the Unpowered Prize, but also make Top 4? If you want to take part in a hugely fun and unique Vintage event, but don't have power, brew something new, or go ahead and take your Legacy deck, makes some tweeks and have a blast. Either way, it's an awesome time. If we hit enough unpowered decks at this event, we'll take a look at making the Unpowered Prizes Scale with attendance even better.

What do the prizes look like? Here are some examples:

Here is 16 players, with 2 or more unpowered:

cash prize   credit prize
1st    105.6    140.8
2nd   79.2    105.6
3rd   39.6    52.8
4th   39.6    52.8
1st Unpowered   40   53.33

This is what 32 players, with two unpowered looks like:

   cash prize   credit prize
1st   227.2   302.93
2nd   170.4   227.2
3rd   85.2    113.6
4th   85.2    113.6
1st Unpowered   40   53.33

Now you're seeing that you can also choose cash as an option. Pretty useful for acquiring singles. I'll be there with a sick selection of the goodness you need to keep up your rep as a formidable spell slinger.
