So, I was looking through the forums and realized there was no events in the "other" category for regional vintage events. It made me sad that there are still places on this fine planet Earth that don't have a Vintage event to call their own.
As such, I am pleased to announce the ANTARCTIC VINTAGE OPEN
Where: Vostok, Antarctica, Just north of the Transantarctic Mountains.
When: Whenver you show up...don't worry, I won't be too busy doing other stuff.
Prizes(Based on attendance of 1*):
1st Place - A solar powered space heater and a foil playset of coldsnap.
There will be a door prize for the person who travels farthest to get to the event(and lives to tell the tale).
At the end of round 1(or the end of the tournament...whichever comes first, we will have a side event for thermal pajamas).
Pizza will be provided by Dominos(I know...impressive, indeed). We will also be selling flavor-ice popsicles.
* In the event that 1 player does not show up, an equivalence of 13 penguins for 1 person is sufficient.

My only question is, will there be Vintage trivia during the penguins' top 8?

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.

I suppose it's mostly the thought that this format is just one big Mistake; and not even a very sophisticated one at that.
Much like humanity itself. |

I heard basic lands were actually banned for this event and you could use only snow-covered lands. This may have an affect on your attendence.....

Is this a proxy event, and would I be allowed to use foil proxied Power 9?
What, was it too soon for that joke?

Probably, unless Ray changes his mind and unbans the polar bears for this tourney. |

"After these years of arguing I've conceded that Merchant Scroll in particular can be an exception to this rule because it is a card that you NEVER want to see in multiples, under any circumstances. Merchant Scroll can be seen as restricted in a way because should you have 2 in a hand, only one is really useful (that is, only one can get Ancestral)."

Not until you run into my Winter Orb tech.  My Polar Bear with an awkward orb shaped tumor will thwart your attempts to untap lands and feast on the flesh of your sled dogs. |

Is this event going to be outdoors, or is someone going to build us a shack to play in?

There will be...The Categories will be: Reasons why Al Gore has us worried. Gosh darn, it is cold. How to stay warm(This is a video category) I still haven't found Superman's Lair and Potppouri(Sp?) Is this a proxy event, and would I be allowed to use foil proxied Power 9?
What, was it too soon for that joke?
Forgot foiled...you have to use the special iced power proxies. You have to build your own igloo for the tournament
The Mariott has a room block of igloos set aside for $89 a night. |

6 weeks to go. Does this tournament count as trial for BoM5? Oh, and btw: I've already marked this on my calendar!
I tried this, too, and ran into unexpected difficulties... |
