Top 4: Richmond Comix 2/12 Vintage

Saturday I had a bunch of great vintage players in my store once again to beat my face in. I managed to win a match but with a miserable 1-2 record I dropped after round 3 to play some Dance Commander. I've decided to throw my decklist up for people to laugh at. I was told it was the most fun deck they saw all day so I was pretty happy with that.

I want to thank everyone who came out this weekend to sling some cards. Our vintage community is growing slowly and to help that I'm going to be running more events. I feel like people want to play the format but because of the higher entry fee and the complexity of some of the decks they are a bit too intimidated to try it out. Starting in March I am going to have monthly tournaments with $5 entry fees and unlimited proxies. Top four will get store credit in the amount of entry fees taken in (50% for 1st, 25 % for second, 12.5% for 3rd and 4th). We are going to build a bunch of decks to keep here in the store so if people want to play but don't have a deck they can. I know for a bunch of our regular vintage guys this isn't going to be a tournament they are interested in driving 2 hours to play in but I hope we can get the word out to the community at large.

The first one of these tournaments will take place Saturday March 19th at 1:00pm. I'm going to set up an event in the event forum and I will be putting it on our facebook page as well as our website. I love this format and I hope we can make this community thrive again!
