Yes Evan, your entry for this event is free due to winning the last Grudge Match Bingo. But don't come solo, bring some friends, and represent PA well.

I've just decided I'm coming to this hell or high water. My car so far: Myself and Matt Snow. Seats for 2 more. Who's in? |

Leaving my awful attempt at humor aside, I'm glad to hear that you're going to work to make the event Bill, but please, as much as I would love to see you there with a car full of guys, please make sure that you're up for it. I can promise a great night out after the event. We normally head out to Fridays with 20-30 guys. I'm looking forward to reserving a room for more than that... |

When I combo someone out with Oath and Vault/Key simultaneously, it feels like overkill. It feels like Nick Cage. |

At the very least, I better see both of you guys at the after party. In the off chance that either of you want to play, let me know and I'll lend you something sweet.

Playing is pushing it, I'll try to be there but probably not playing. |

Have we decided on a Day 2 format yet? If not, may I suggest... TICHU!
On a serious note, right now I hate Legacy because I only own 1 Vengevine. If I pick up 3 more or Survival is banned then I might be up for it. Standard is boring. Extended, eh, we'll see. Now, how about this, how about a draft championship kind of like the 3K challenge they run at Nats or what I think they're going to run at next year's SCG events?

I'd love the draft challenge, but do we have enough people who would draft?

A major announcement for this event - after trading some emails, Magic artist Jeff Menges has agreed to make an appearance at the Grudge Match (a special thank you to Damien Fortune for providing introductions.) Perhaps you've seen these cards played before:    Full details are in the tournament announcement, which has been adjusted. EDIT: None of the pictures showed, but a few of the prominent cards that Jeff has done include Bazaar of Baghdad, Moat, Thawing Glaciers and Swords to Plowshares. |

So, sometime this week I am going to put up the ballots for each regional team (NY, PA, NE.)
The Grudge Match Bingo thread will also go up.
And I'd still really like to hear back from the community regarding the Jace vs. other prize support questions.
I've been talking to a few friends, and it seems like Alex Bertoncini may be taking his SCG Open Series power for a ride at this event.
It's also possible that, sometime during the summer, it may be possible to get Donato Giancola to come out to an N.Y.S.E. event. I'm working on the details now, and things are anything but set in stone, but it's possible.

OK this looks awesome, I'm in. Will be looking forward to seeing Copes there too; I'll throw my hat in with the many others who have his back.
