SANCTIONED Vintage at Scholars Monday Night Vintage Goes Big Vol 2

[ELD]

Sanctioned Vintage on June 10th in the store that has supported Vintage since before it was called Vintage.  What can be better than that, you ask?  How about opening the door for unpowered players?  Well we're not going to do that.  We're going to KICK DOWN THE DAMN DOOR FOR UNPOWERED PLAYERS.  That's right, unpowered players, your EV just went through the roof.  You don't have the Power 9, Mishra's Workshop or Bazaar?  You want to play, but you think the $20 entry fee is unlikely to yield any kind of return unless you're packing Black Lotus and friends?  Well we're putting aside some of the prizes just for you.  If there is only one player without the P9, Shop or Bazaar, they will automatically win the BEST UNPOWERED PRIZE of over $26 in Store Credit!  Can't get better than that, you're certainly saying to yourself.  PLOT TWIST!  If there are 2 or more unpowered players, then the BEST UNPOWERED PRIZE gets bumped up to $50 in credit.  Contain your excitement.  You can show up win over $53 for being the best unpowered deck, and still be in the running for a piece of the amazing prize pool.  If you win both, you are almost certain to reach celebrity Magic Player status!

What do the prize look like?  Here are some examples:

This is what 8 players, with one unpowered looks like:

cash prize   credit prize
1st Unpowered   20   26.67

1st   52.8   70.4
2nd   39.6   52.8
3rd   19.8   26.4
4th   19.8   26.4


Here is 16 players, with 2 or more unpowered:

cash prize   credit prize
1st Unpowered   40   53.33

1st   105.6   140.8
2nd   79.2   105.6
3rd   39.6   52.8
4th   39.6   52.8

Now you're seeing that you can also choose cash as an option.  Pretty useful, since I'll be there with a sick selection of the goodness you need to keep up your rep as a formidable spell slinger.

I'd like to thank The End Step for their video coverage of the event.  We'll be doing some match coverage, and possibly more if time permits.  Win Vintage.  Get famous.

this is amazing. I just picked up the last card I needed yesterday. First proxyless vintage deck I've had with no compromises in YEARS. So excited perfect timing.

EDIT: maybe not....I ordered some cards for this event and they haven't arrived yet. Damn, I hate to miss it after spending all that money.
