Northeast Vintage Series at Top Deck Games!

    Saturday, May 19th, 2012
    Top Deck Games
    55 Haddon Ave
    Westmont, NJ 08108

  Plan to be at the store by 11:00AM.  Out of respect for the players who do show up on time, and to keep the event ending at a reasonable hour, pairings for Round 1 will be going up at Noon.  If you are late, we will be allowing late registration, but it comes with a Round 1 Loss.

   Vintage Event

        Registration: 10:00 AM (Pairings go up @ 12:00 Noon)
        Entry Fee: $30
        Format: Vintage
        K-Value: Unsanctioned, 10 proxies allowed for free. You can purchase up to five more proxies at $1 each.
        REL: Competitive (like a PTQ)
        Decklists are required (and published).

        The Prizes: (these prizes are based on +/- 40 players)
        1st Place: $400 in store credit + 12 NEV Points
        2nd Place: $200 in store credit + 6 NEV Points
        3rd - 4th Place: $100 in store credit + 4 NEV Points
        5th - 8th Place: $50 in store credit + 3 NEV Points
        9th - 16th Place: 2 NEV Points
        17th and Beyond: 1 NEV Point

2012 NEV Players Club:

This event is part of the NEV Series, a collaboration between myself, Top Deck Games, Nick Detwiler, and Brother's Grim.  Here is what points get you!

Level 1 (6 NEV pts): Play with free proxies
Level 2 (12 NEV pts): $5 in Store credit at each NEV Series Event (better then free sleeves, right?)
Level 3 (24 NEV pts): Invite to the 2012 NEV Championship (more info can be found HERE)
Level 4 (36 NEV pts): Round 1 Bye at the 2012 NEV Championship
Level 5 (48 NEV pts): Round 1 & 2 Bye at the 2012 NEV Championship
Level 6 (60 NEV pts): Free Entry into every remaining NEV Event in 2012!

Side Events:

        Single-Elimination 8-Mans!

        Start Time: As soon as 8 players sign up.
        Entry Fee: $10
        Format: Vintage
        K-Value: Unsanctioned, 15 proxies

        Prizes:
        1st Place: $60 in credit
        2nd Place: $20 in credit

I'll be there and I'm looking to play Legacy.  I'm going to need to borrow some cards too.

As things stand now I'm the only guy in my car, driving down.  Is anyone from Long Island looking for a ride down to this?  I'd like to meet up in Nassau.

I'm still looking for people from the Long Island area looking to attend.  Anyone?  I'll drive down solo, but splitting gas/tolls is always cool...

I'll be there unless I have to work the YCS on Saturday.

(Spoiler alert: I hope I don't. I know nothing about Yugs, except to watch your bags three times as much as you do at a big Magic event.)

(Spoiler alert: I'll probably be playing Legacy.)

My youngest brother graduates from college tomorrow. Tried to get out of it, then he stuck me with distributing the tickets to the rest of my family (It's like he KNEW!) for the ceremony. I failed. Hope to be at the next one though! Good luck to all who do attend!

Josh Potucek beat Seth Levy in the finals if anyone wants to know.

Believe the top 8 was:

Nick D vs Tom D - Nick D wins
John Jones vs Mickey Mahr - John Jones wins
Seth Levy vs Shawn Griffiths - Seth Levy wins
Josh Potucek vs Matt Elias - Josh Potucek wins

Nick D vs Seth Levy - Seth Levy wins
Josh Potucek vs John Jones - Josh Potucek wins

I got in there on Mono Blue Control:

4 force of will
3 mana drain
3 daze
2 mental misstep
2 flusterstorm
1 misdirection
1 mindbreak trap

1 magus of the unseen
1 delver of secrets
1 sower of temptation
3 snapcaster mage

4 standstill

2 jace, the mindsculptor

1 brainstorm
1 echoing truth
1 ancestral recall
4 stifle
1 time walk
2 steel sabotage
1 repeal

1 crucible of worlds
1 mox sapphire
1 black lotus
1 sol ring

4 wasteland
1 strip mine
4 mishra's factory
1 library of alexandria
5 island
2 misty rainforest

sb:
4 tormod's crypt
3 relic of progenitus
1 echoing truth
1 crucible of worlds
3 submerge
3 energy flux


Deck needs more Islands, for sure. At least 1, possible as many as 3. a 2 Island 1 fetch plan would be acceptable as well.

Eventually Nick will put up a TO report in the Results thread. He's been pretty busy at TDG and there was a big PTQ this weekend as well. It will likely be up in the next few days.
