ELD's Mox XX - October 25th

[ELD]

The Custom Card for this event will be can be voted on in this thread. 

These Custom Cards will be Gold Numbered 1-8 and be given out to the Top 8 according to finish.  In the case of splits, swiss ranking will determine placement.  I appreciate all the support I've received from the community, and anticipate the continued growth of Vintage in New England.  These Custom Cards do not take away from the prize pool at all.  They are an extra way of saying thank you. 

There will also be one Custom Proxy given away at random to one person who carpools to the event.  People carpooling, often from great distances, is what makes these events so successful.  The dedication of the New England Vintage community is appreciated, and this is my way of saying thank you.

First place prize will be an Unlimited Mox. (Mox Sapphire for 32+ Mox Pearl for <32)

I am going to give away the Mox regardless of attendance.  Prizes will be adjusted based on attendance.  100% of the entry fees will be put towards the prizes.  The above is used to show relative value of each place for 30 players.  On the day of the event, I will dig into my collection to make sure that everyone who places will be able to choose from tons of cards they'd be happy with.  That's what to expect out of all of my tournaments.

We're heading back to Over the Edge Games in Worcester, MA.  We're learning from each event, and constantly trying to create the best environment possible for tournament players.  ELD's Mox 19 was held on the release weekend, and it was a huge success.  The only issue we ran into was an unexpectedly large crowd overlapping with a large crowd for Yu-Gi-Oh.  This event is on the same day as a nearby Yu-Gi-Oh regionals, so we don't need to worry about Yu-Gi-Oh players this time.  We also found an excellent pizza place, and we'll be getting more toppings next time too! 

[Grand Inquisitor]

The last two have been great.  I'm going to try to make this and if so, I can retreive my uber-techy time vault proxy.

This event will be for a Signed Mox Sapphire, or a Mox Pearl.  If we get over 32 players, I'll go with the Mox Sapphire.  Less than 32 the Mox Pearl will let me give better prizes to the rest of the Top 8.

This event is approaching fast!  Since I have a baby on the way in November, it is probably going to be a longer than normal time between ELD's Mox events.  Since this event is so close to the birth of our child, I've decided to let the players name the baby.  The name must have a Magic reference of some sort to be eligible. 

EDIT:  My wife doesn't think that was a good idea.  It's probably just the pregnancy hormones talking, but just in case we'll just play Magic for amazing prizes instead. 

[Tha Gunslinga]

Just name it Broodstar.

[JanValentine00]

Just name it Broodstar.

Broodstar is so 2003,  Master of Etherium is where it is at.

Well, perhaps when all the fine choices are put out there, she'll change her mind: Alexi, Atalya, Diaochan - Artful Beauty, Elspeth, Galina, Glissa, Hanna, Irini, Jasmine, Jaya, Kaysa, Lady Caleria, Liliana, Linessa, Livonya, Lovisa, Mayael, Merieke, Mirri, Oriss, Radha, Rashka, Rayne, Rubinia, Sachi, Saffi, Selenia, Serra, Soraya, Teysa, Xira.

... Unstable Mutation, Sins of the Past, Infectious Host, Fungal Behemoth, Mudbutton Clanger, Junk Diver, Putrid Imp, Ichor Slick, Helldozer

I think my vote is for Sins of the Past.

Oh also, pre-reg Jer and myself.

I'm pretty sure this gets my vote 100%

[FadeToBlack]

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it, as all of my buddies are busy

too late to pre-reg? I HOPE NOT

I'll take that as a pre-reg.  It almost seemed like it could have been a suggestion for a baby name, but that's about as far from Magic related as you can get.

I don't know about that, I mean, look at some of the old card art... Serra Angel for example?

Are there going to be lists for the top 8?
