Not many details yet.   But there will also be an old school side event.

I will be planning to attend. Heading down just play in this event and get my duals signed by Myrfors seems worth it. Do we at least know which day it is yet? I haven't been able to find even the confirmation that it's happening.

Whoa, is his presence confirmed?

Myrfors confirmed he will be attending on the Vintage Magic Players facebook page.

Jesper is a god. It was sick to meet him again in Seattle.

We have the schedule now, Vintage events at 5:30 on both Saturday and Sunday.

Edit: Possibly Friday at 5:30, but there's a typo of some kind there. It says Vintage, format Standard at the moment.

I got at them about that on Twitter and it should be fixed now.

I'm a little annoyed at the timing. Each day's Vintage starts right about 2 rounds into each day's Legacy and Legacy pays down to x-2 so even winless legacy players will have to make a decision between potentially prizing and dropping to play vintage.

I would say it can't be helped but I don't see any reason that the daily legacy events can't start another hour early. Oh well. I'm planning around $150 just for side event entry fees at GPHOU now lol

Yeah, it's unfortunate that we'll have to chose which day to play Legacy and which day to play Vintage, but I suppose that's better than only having one event to choose from. The Sunday event will likely have more people I would guess?
