Sci-Fi Genre Comics & Games (http://www.scifigenre.com/store) is pleased to announce our third Vintage event, with some pretty cool singles going to the winners! We'd had two excellent events now, both going over 30 players, so we decided it was time to up the ante a little bit. Show up, play some Real Magic(tm), and win some hot pieces of Vintage and Legacy cardstock!
When: Saturday, June 11th, 2011. Doors open and registration begins at 10AM, with the event starting at 11AM.
Where: Sci-Fi Genre Comics & Games - 3215 Old Chapel Hill Rd, Durham, NC 27707 - (919) 490-7900 (Please park behind the store)
What: Unsanctioned Vintage Constructed, with up to fifteen (15) proxies (see below). Number of rounds of Swiss determined by entries, and with 16+ players there will be a cut to top 8. Deck lists will be required. and we may be recording video of feature matches and the top 8 (check out November's videos on YouTube).
Entry: $25, cash or credit card.
Prizes: Guaranteed; see below. We're also doing random door prizes starting in round two, giving out older FNM and WNM foils, maybe a playmat or some deck boxes, or whatever other random Magic stuff we've got hanging around.
The prizes will be guaranteed based on turnout:
8+ Players 1st: Mox Ruby(Unlimited) 2nd: 4x Force of Will 3rd: Chinese Jace, the Mind Sculptor 4th: Foil Sword of Fire and Ice & Foil Sword of Feast and Famine
48+ Players (this number subject to change) 5th: Coming Soon 6th: Coming Soon 7th: Coming Soon 8th: Coming Soon
That's right, regardless of turnout, we will be giving away a Mox Ruby to first place.
Since we want this event to be available to as many people as possible, we are allowing players up to fifteen proxies per deck. The rules for the proxies are, we hope, pretty straightforward and based on common sense.
Up to fifteen (15) proxies per deck, no more.
It is the judges' discretion as to whether or not any given proxy is allowed; if you have any concern, we will have a "proxy check" table set up before the event, and they'll have a bunch of basic land and Sharpies in the event that some or all of your proxies don't meet their approval.
It should be immediately clear to your opponent and any passersby what any proxied card is supposed to be.
No substitution lists ("Every Counterspell in my deck is supposed to be Mana Drain.")
No slips of paper in sleeves, even if glued to the card -- they can affect the thickness and rigidity, which affects randomization.
No Collectors' Edition, even if you've trimmed down the corners.
Acetone is cheap and easy to use to erase cards, with some masking tape, Q-Tips, cotton balls, and ventilation.
Try to use cards with as many attributes -- type, mana cost, etc. -- that match the card you're proxying as possible.
You may also use a fine-point Sharpie to write on the back of a card, so long as the sleeves you are using are completely opaque, and you write clearly. These proxies and your sleeves should definitely be checked by the Head Judge before shuffling up. Please don't just write the card name on the front of a card -- it can be too easy for your opponent across the table to mistake your Mox Ruby for the Mountain on which you've written. Also, the more information you include, the better; at the very least, you'll want name (of course), mana cost, types/subtypes, and power/toughness if it's a creature.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know either in this thread, via PM, or email to dartarus{at}gmail.com. Let's have another great Vintage event!
