Finally another Pittsburgh event. It has been way to long since I played competitive vintage. It really is nice to play in this environment. The place is really clean.

Aw man Ichorids the only deck I know how to beat in the top8. I thrash that deck like an unwanted step child.

A head's up to everyone.... the date will be changing for this event. Due to the prerelease, we will need to bump this back... More than likely it will be May 2nd.... Stay closely tuned and when we have the date, lock it in!

-There is an amazing buzz around this already; much more then before!

Oh mama!  You keep tempting me with this tournament then pulling it away!

As long as there are giant cookies and a cafe/gunshop I'm in.  Hopefully I'll be able to get some other Virginians up with me this time.

Well gang... the date is changed officially and this time it's set in stone!
When prizes are finalized I will alert everyone. The last few have had some insane prize support!

Also, unless I'm mistaken, we'll have a freshly legal set for this event!

Ps. Cookies, Lattes and guns!!! of course we'll have those Nat; it just wouldn't be a Nice Guy event otherwise!  Wink

A good GWSer is ready for whatever may come. When my opponent plays, I shall counter. When they counter, I shall react. When they present the window of opportunity I will not shatter it. It will shatter all by itself. My talents in ideology and execution have expanded beyond the physical realm of play. So be ready, for my Wu-Tang sword not only slices through decks, it slices through to the very soul of my opponents.

Prizes are being worked out... there was talk of a time themed event...

Did you guys figure out prizes? My guess is Time Walk, Time Vault, Timetwister, and Time Elemental. Still can't wait for this one, wonder what Alara Reborn will give the format.

If any of you crazy cats have a Peasant Highlander deck bring it to the Q. It is seriously one of the best formats ever.

Hype, hype, hype, hype!

Our Neohgamers boards have been down forever! Who from C-Town is making this trip. Who wants to drive? Is the Trogg Van traveling the white lined nightmare known as I-80? Did The Malice of Retribution get its flux capacitor fixed? Is LordHomerCat's litter box truly the size of a regulation Olympic pool?

Oh sure.  The Malice of Retribution should be making it's way to Pittsburgh in a Road Warrior-esque caravan along with the TrogVan because Cleveland should be fully present.

I just sold the store an extra Timetwister I had to use as prizes.  He said that would probably be a 3rd-4th place prize, so this is going to be pretty freakin' sweet.

This event is coming up in a little over two weeks!

Brian, any word on what the prizes are going to be?

I'm pretty sure that there will be a large contingent of Cleveland folks going.  Will this be yet another Mana Drain dominated Top 8?  Will there be anyone besides Clevelanders in the Top 4?  How many of us will be wearing Browns gear?

The shop owner is out of town until Monday.
As soon as he returns, I will talk with him and get prizes posted.

-I can say that the last I spoke with him, he was in the process of finding a time walk....
and he did secure a time twister ....

So I think it's safe to say that the theme is certaintly going to be time.... and if the prize support from the last few Nice Guy Events shows anything, this will be ZANY!
