Will definitely be there. May or may not have just ordered 3 more Power Artifacts in response to this unrestriction

Here are photos from the event we had in January at GP Oakland. Hoping for another good turnout!

Also if you haven't already, join the Bay Area Old School Facebook group to stay in touch and see about informal get-togethers between the officially organized tournaments.

Argh! Going to miss this by one week. I'll be in Palo Alto the prior weekend.

Reminder that this is next weekend.  Spread the word!

This was an unbelievable tournament.  We had 15 people - sad more couldn't show up.

But I really feel like our metagame has reached the next level.  

My main criticism of Old School is that, compared to vintage, sometimes the games are overly simplistic and linear.  

My match against Heiner Litz was one of the most complicated games of magic I have EVER played.  It was incredible.  I had 2 Icys, 3 Relic Barriers, and Winter Orb against his 2 Relic Barrier (one of which was a copy artifact), 1 Icy, Howling MIne and Trike.  

I feel like our tinkering has produced the perfect environment.

Thanks for coming, and for folks who couldn't, I actually feel bad for you
