Here are a few stores that do MTG events in the Birmingham area. No Vintage events (sanctioned at least). The store in Oneonta has held Legacy events in the past so there might be some interest in Vintage. Let us know!
Sorry for the name change, it reflects my current handle that I use on the other forums and on magic-league.
Oneonta is the premiere store for Legacy but the players are either 1) not willing to play Vintage due to rankings/ratings or 2) scared of the format. Also, there is no interstate access to Oneonta and this makes the drive a minimum of 45 minutes no matter what direction you come from.
We have tried to hold vintage events at this store, 10-proxy, 9-proxy, unsanctioned and sanctioned. I am a TO for the area and used to run some of the legacy events here and none of my players wanted vintage tournaments. Currently, in the past 2 years, I have only met 3 other vintage players in the area that have any decks worth playing against (hi Brandon, Levi and Jamie).
With this said, are there any ideas people might have as to how I can get more people interested in vintage and playing the format in tournaments in the area?
