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

I am actually in town for this one. Who else is game for slanging the Vintage cards?

[Tha Gunslinga]

I'll see if I can make it.

Let's see.
Not in hospital: Check
Have most of a deck (not necesarily a GOOD deck): Check
Not at some random SCG/TCGPlayer/GP/PTQ/PT event: Check

I think I can make it this month.

I'll be here playing 6 mana sorceries.

This week!   BE THERE

[Soly]

I'm playing an experimental deck.  

It will be quite epic.

[Tha Gunslinga]

I won with LandStill again, despite taking 5th place with a cut to top 4.  Thanks Derek!

[Soly]

I played a fun High Tide/Time Spiral deck.   I was 2-1 but conceded because my head just wasn't into playing.

[JACO]

I'm not sure how many people we had (14?), but it was fun and I went 3-1 in Swiss before losing in T4.
RD1 win vs. Burning Wish Storm
RD2 win vs. RUG Delver
RD3 win vs. Control Oath
RD4 loss vs. BUG Tempo
--Cut to T4--
T4 loss vs. Control Oath

The deck felt strong as usual, but now I have even more ideas for the future.
