Well, how many pieces of power have you won as the result of playing a tourney (and doing well) ?

I´m currently at three: Ruby, Jet, Jet  Razz

1) Ancestral Recall.  My first big W was a home game at a Hadley tourney.  I beat ChrisK in the finals playing the role of the bane of his existence.

2) Ancestral Recall.  In the midst of playing with "Your Mother", I completely psych out teamate Ben Kowal (Summen...) in Concord, NH

3) Mox Pearl.  A moral victory, I lose to Andy Stoke in the Hulk mirror.  Luckily Ray(Waterbury) was running moxen for both finalists.  It was my first time with the deck; he boarded up to four Deep Analysis.

4) Time Walk.  My favorite, everyone was trying to get me to split, but I say screw it and beat workshops with GAT in Lincoln, RI

*) Mox Pearl.  I was about to set up Yawgmoth's Will for the tourney win in Milford, CT when I get distracted, and flip over 6 cards while casting lim-dul's vault.  A tough judging call later and I'm going home with a frickin' foil serra angel!

None yet  Sad, but I was a game away from winning an Ancestral at a tournament in Lincoln, RI last summer.

I've traded for my Emerald, Ruby, and Pearl.

I've never even been to a power tourney, they seem to be a strictly US thing. :o( ... I've won a gazillion boosters though - which I have sold and then purchased power. And I've gotten $600 total from various PTQ finals money splits which have also helped to finance my favorite format ;o)

1 UN Lotus
1 UN Emerald
1 UN Ruby

But most of these wins came in 1999 - 2000.  Haven't won one in a long, long time.

I've won an Unlimited Pearl, boxes of t2 product, an ass load of Italian Legends packs, and what was reported to be the conceptual sketch of the recommissioned Black Lotus art.

3 pearls

1 lotus
split for beta ancestral
split for a sapphire

Might be forgetting some, omitting near infinite quantities of packs.

See, this is one reason why I think T1 is waaay more avanced on the East Coast than the West Coast. People actually have a realistic shot of picking up some pieces of power for a mere entrance fee, which is a huge foothold in the world of Magic. Out here, you have to start from square 1 with no help at all, or you'd have to dabble into Extended and/or T2 to get any form of prizes.

I once briefly mentioned the idea of having a "Mox tournament" at one of the stores I go to, and everyone started laughing as if it was the most ludicrous thing they've ever heard.

Sad

Not to stroke my cock and all, but it all started back on BD when I advertised a proxy tournament with a Ruby as the prize. Everyone else sort of fell into line after that in regards to proxy'ing (though they improved on it by making it 5 of any card). You could always do the same thing - all it takes is putting one mox up out of pocket, then the rest will fall into place.
