BRING YOUR EDH DECKS!!

All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a magic card for a proxie!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged

Awesome, thank you.

[Smmenen]

You think that will improve attendance?   

[JACO]

You think that will improve attendance?   

Slightly. Start time of 11am or 12pm is the best, as it gets more people in who would have to drive 1-4 hours, and then wake up for work Monday morning.

I might try and make it again this month but no promises.

Eric/Shannon -

I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but it would be awesome if you could save the tournament information and submit it to the Email per below link:

http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=42998.0

I think it would be cool to get the Midwest guys in on this.  Did anyone want to follow up in person in case they don't check the thread?

Hope you guys have another great turnout!

[JR]

I will almost certainly be there. I'm pretty sure I don't work.

[quicksilvervii]

Will there be streaming?

This will be me:

17 people, 5 rounds, cut to top 8.  I played MUD and lost in 3 games to Delver/Trygon in top 8.  Finals was Travis Heipp with LandStill vs John Beste with Doomsday.  Doomsday won.

I played the list below, so JACO, the man with the stylin’ new hat, doesn’t have to spend time with my awful hand writing and dyslexic misspellings. I got the list from Soly like 1.5-2 months ago changed it minimally and renamed it because I can.

Doomsday stuff
4 DOOMSDAY
3 dark rituals
1 tendrils of agony
1 laboratory maniac
1 gitaxian probe (this was great, required for 1 doomsday kill, and generally useful throughout the day . However, I wouldn’t play more than the one.)

1 island
3 Mox: sapphine, jet, emerald
1 lotus petal
1 mana crypt (would not play this again)
