Proxy vs Non-proxy

[stu55]

If this goes else where, go ahead and move it please, sorry.

Ok, so most of the conversations that occur here assume that people have unlimited access to cards and can build anything they want. Most tournaments allow proxies and thus give these people that access to cards. The meta is pretty well defined in what you would expect to see in that regard. What I am wondering is, what is an environment for sanctioned Vintage going to look like? I have never seen a report for a full sanctioned tournament with no proxies and I am looking to play in one this coming weekend at Origins and wanted an idea what to take.

There are often tourney reports (or tourney results) for the largely sanctioned EuroMeta.

Here's an example from TMD's own tourney results/reports forum.

I should have been more specific, sorry.


American metas are based around having proxies, are there any American reports out there for sanctioned events?

The Chicago side event from the Legacy gp is the only recent one I know of.  Vroman made a report after playing ubastax, I believe there was discussion about the meta in there if you can wade through the shitstorm about the prizes.

Vroman's Chicago Sanctioned Side Event (I think it was sanctioned!)

it was not sanctioned. or else I cheated bad having 4 proxies

We definitely were allowed to use proxies. I guess that automatically means non-sanctioned.
