1/23 Die Hard Games Mox Sapphire/Workshop Tourney! $20 Entry 20 Proxy Free Lunch

[Grand Inquisitor]

Great time this weekend, very well run event by Dave.

-Good play space (once you find it)
-Free food
-Smoothly run rounds
-Good prize support
-Solid turnout

Can't ask for anything more.  Yeah, the T4 was all Tez.  Props to Bill Copes who is becoming a dangerous man with those blue cards.

Had a great time Dave, thank you for hosting this.  Still scratching my head at the awesome prize support and free pizza/soda plus additional slices for $1.  These little things add up to create a very player-friendly atmosphere, which is very much appreciated.

Also, as others have mentioned, everything was run very smoothly.  Time between rounds seemed incredibly short, so kudos for that as well.

Thanks.  

I didn't do this to fill a swimming pool full of money and swim in it ala Scrooge McDuck (although that would be kind of cool :p)

I did this to try and bring some semblance of Vintage back to New England on a regular basis.  

I don't plan on slowing down either.  I will keep tossing prizes out there that make people scratch their heads as long as I can.  I'm fortunate in that I know alot of people in the Magic community and many of them are willing to help me get prizes for these events.

Joe Harrington was the head judge for both days and he's phenomenal.  Really can't take any credit for the actual running of the tournament as it was his show both days.  I was just kind of in the background helping him when needed.

Also big thanks to Al Nota and Jim Germano also (the big guys :p).

I'm fortunate in that I have good people around me and a player base that is second to none.  I met alot of new people this weekend and it was a great sight to see.  It also struck me that between the 40 people playing on both days, they were almost entirely different crowds.

Congrats to ELD on top 8'ing both events.  Very impressive given it was different formats and large fields with many great players.

Thanks to those who stayed overnight and came to both events too (Ray Robillard and friends). That surprised me and I was honestly flattered that people would do that for my events.

I will be hosting another Eternal weekend March 13th/14th.  It will be headlined by the $10 Mox Sapphire Tourney.  That won't be the only prize

Will have updates whenever I wake up.  I must slumber.  I have decklists from both days and plenty of pics.

Thanks again for the kind words and everyone who supported me.  Can't tell you how much it means to me.

Take care <3

Sounds like a fun time, Dave. I wish I could be making these.

This was the kind of event that makes me come out and play.  Very well run with little extra’s to make me want to come back.  Things like a slice of pizza and a drink can make the day that much more enjoyable.  Keep running these and I will keep coming. 

Just a note, more so then even the great prizes, the very reasonable prices that these events will keep people coming.  I know several people who don’t play vintage regularly but were interested in these tournaments and the 10 dollar sapphire should pull them in.
