At my ELD's Mox VIII 32 players showed up to give Stillpoint a grand opening and compete for their share of glory. The Top 8 showed experience and skill being the key factors, as long time veterans won with the decks they've mastered. Brassman left New England on top of the mountain, splitting in the Top 4 with three other respected names - Ray Robillard, Oliver Beaumont and Bill Copes. With another heavy weight leaving the Vintage Utopia that is New England, who will rise up to take his place at the front of the pack? We'll find out when New England's strongest players match wits and cards to get their share of loot and bragging rights.
First place prize will be a Mox Sapphire.

I am going to give away the Mox Sapphire regardless of attendance. Prizes will be adjusted based on attendance. At my last event we had 32 players. With all the feedback I've received about the Bazaar of Baghdad Proxies, I suspect we will do better this time. 100% of the entry fees will be put towards the prizes. That's what to expect out of all of my tournaments.
A Limited Edition hand-made Bazaar of Baghdad will be given to every single player just for playing. These "ELD Proxies" do not count towards your proxy count for all my future events, or at any Myriad Games events. I will only be making 50 of these. Players may reserve specific numbered proxies when they pre-register. Bazaar of Baghdad was selected by a vote at my previous event. Here is the 1st Bazaar Proxy. They will improve as I make the remaining 49.
These are the proxies I have made so far.
I've been receiving a lot of inquiries about my proxies. I sell the previous 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. Foil Proxies, like the one's I give away as door prizes can be commissioned as well.
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 rules15 Proxies. ELD Proxies from my previous events do not count towards your proxy limit.
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.
