ELD's Mox 25 is on it's way!  To celebrate this milestone, I'm holding my what could be my biggest event stateside yet.  

First place prize will be an Unlimited Black Lotus.

Parking is on the street (don't pay meters, it's free on Saturday) and in the lots behind the building.

Pre-Registration Prize - I'll be giving away a prize to one person who pre-registers.  Pre-registration makes these events run as smoothly as possible, so thanks you!  

Carpool Prize -  I'll be giving away a prize to one person who is in the largest carpools to the event.  Carpooling is key to building community and keeping costs down for players.  This is my way of thanking the people who make these events so successful.  

Hardcore Vintage Player Prize - I'll be giving away a prize to the person who travels the farthest for this event.  

You can pre-register by sending me an PM or e-mailing me at EricELD@comcast.net  You can also pre-register by via the Facebook Group - New England Vintage.  You do not need to pay ahead of time, this is just to get a head count.

Thanks Eric,

Unforunitly I live all the way up in the lakes region, New Hampshire so getting to your monday night events or store is not quick an easy.  Also I dont really own any extra cards as I've already sold most things in my collection that are not vintage worthy as thats the only format I play. As I said, hopefully I can pull the funds together to pay for the gas (since no one plays vintage north of myriad games besides me that I know of

The Facebook Group "New England Vintage" is an excellent resource for carpooling.  I've heard rumor that there are enough good players up north to start up a new Team Maine, but those rumors have yet to be substantiated.  Perhaps this event will be enough to draw them out from the wilderness.

I wouldn't claim to be good, decent perhaps, but my friend and I live outside Portland, and are currently planning to attend this fantastic looking event.  We also are currently planning on the 7/25 Myriad Games, and 8/29 and 9/19 Mox events in Tewksbury MA.  Any Mainers interested in carpooling can PM me.  If you can get yourself to Portland and chip in we should be able to supply a few seats.

If I can bring myself to sign in to Facebook I will check out the NE Vintage group.

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.

Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops.  I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

So sad for me no team New Hampshire. I'll be a team all to myself lol. I guess when I said North of Myriad I should have said North of Myriad in New Hampshire. Does anyone know anybody that lives towards my neck of the woods in the Titlon, New Hampshire area?

The Black Lotus Photo Mosaic is now on display at Stillpoint Comics.  You have to see it in person!  It's the most impressive piece of Magic related art I've ever seen. 





I'll be doing lots extra prizes for this event, which will not take away from the prize pool.  I'm going to focus on the pre-registered players for sure, so be make certain you contact me online if your name is not in the list of pre-reg's.  I can't give away any details, but let's just say I have extras that I haven't given out yet.
