Saturday September 6, 2008

Circle "B" Recreation
6261 Hwy. 60
Cedarburg, WI 53012
(262) 377-8090

Click here for Mapquest directions

Cedarburg is about 25 minutes north of Milwaukee
Circle B is a bowling alley, bar, and grill, which means there will be food and drink available onsite.  Drinking will be allowed.  Smoking will not.  There will also be bowling available for when you 0-2 drop.
There will be an ATM onsite (no, not that kind of ATM, Dan) so you can buy even more cards off me.

Registration begins at 11:00 AM and ends at 12:00 PM.  Please note that this is an hour earlier than previous tournament starts.


Click here to download a deck registration form.


25/25/25 rule:
Vintage 25-proxy unsanctioned tournament
$0.25 for each proxy after 25
$25 CASH entry
All proxies must follow these guidelines.  Otherwise I will be extremely pissed off at you.


1st Place = Unlimited Black Lotus $625 approx value
2nd Place = 4 German Force of Will OR NM Juzam Djinn OR 4 Revised Underground Seas $160 approx value
3rd/4th Place = 2 Revised Tropical Island OR 2 Candelabra of Tawnos $120 approx total value
5th-8th place = 1 Thoughtseize+ 1 Bitterblossom per person $128 approx total value
PLUS I have to pay $100 for the venue
total cost to me: $1133

These prizes are GUARANTEED regardless of attendance.  As it is, I break even at 45 people, so basically I'm taking it up the ass regardless.  If I get under 35 people I will seriously consider playing the damn event myself and winning my own fucking Lotus back.  Which would not be hard, given how terrible Midwest Magic players are.  If by some goddamn miracle we hit 50 players I will shit myself and upgrade 2nd place to a Mox.  Probably the extremely skanky Ruby I bought off Soly.  So basically show up at this thing or else.  I don't want any bullshit excuses about work, school, or anything else.  This is VINTAGE.

Every single Vintage event I have run has had at least 5 Starcity Power 9 Champions in attendance.  If you want to play some real Magic you'd better get your ass up to this tourney.  Approximately 5 of the top 8 from Vintage Worlds 2008 will be at this event.  It doesn't really get much better than that.

Also, there will be a party at Soly's house following the tournament.  Feel free to show up and trash his parents' house.

Please note that this is on a Saturday.  People said they'd be more willing to show for a Saturday tourney, so here we go.

Please also note that this is at a new venue.  Hobbytown was going broke staying open for us on Sundays, because none of you cheap motherfuckers bought anything.  Now I have to shell out a hundred bucks to rent Circle B.  Thanks a ton.

It isn't going to be much of a party...  More of a get-together.   It's gunna be really fun times!   Beer and soda!  My folks live literally 3-5 minutes away from Circle B. 

You fuckers BETTER be there.  Circle B also has a full service Bar, so GET SMASHED WHILE PLAYING VINTAGE! (I'm looking at Twaun, DeMars, and Tommy!)

I'm there.  Anyone who I know from OH/MI/wherever else who needs a place to stay in Milwaukee should hit me up on PM or AIM or something, these things are absolutely worth the trip and are as competitive an event you can find outside of literally SCG's or Champs.

Of course people are laying low. I will we be attending and who can blame them for not wanting to waste $25 to have the famous Pheldagrif blow them out faster than they can say 'the nuts'?

I'll even have my decklist posted beforehand. Not that it would make a bit of difference to you scrubs. I'm still going to wreck the lot of you just as badly as I did the last ICBM Open I won. I gave y'all a break by playing my shitter of a Claw list at Worlds. No more Mr. Nice Guy. At this tourney, you're all going down. Hard.

Man this is a week after my first classes.  Anyone in Illiniois willing to give me a ride up/can I meet up with you anywhere?  I'll be at Bradley University in Peoria, but if anyone can give me a lift I'll help pay for gas etc.

Somebody tell Chapin how counterbalance works?

Is there a difference between this type of Black Lotus and a normal one? Is it used during a reproduction process? This kind of language has no place on the boards.

Really?  Because the average TMD member is like 14?  Get over it, please, we're all adults and can handle a bit of colorful language.

Just for you, I will endeavor to use this Black Lotus during a reproduction process.  With your mom.

Too bad this is on a Saturday, I was looking forward to coming up for the next ICBM tournament.   Sad

I encourage anyone who hasn't been to an ICBM tourney and is considering this one to give it a shot.  The last tournament that Ben hosted was awesome.
