Mr. Nice Guy Games will be hosting a Throwback Vintage Event. The intent is to experience for a day what it was like to play in 1995/1996 era of magic. Only sets from this time period will be legal, The restricted list will follow a relatively accurate reconstructed restricted list. This will be the second throwback tournament, the first was a blast to play in! I have posted the link to the previous tournament results below to give you a feel for the meta game. Were hoping for some more player support out there, many of you seem interested after seeing the results from the first tournament and were hoping to build the format.

1. Mindtwist is banned
2. Stripmine is unrestricted
