Tournament and BBQ July 3d all day!!

AU Blue Bell is holding another vintage event tomorrow. The event is $25 and it includes a free barbecue all afternoon. The event starts at noon with registration at 11 am. This will be a great day and should have a big turnout. There will be a dealer there, dollar rare boxes, commons and uncommons, trades, just about anything you want.

I have 3-4 competative vintage decks that anyone can borrow to play. I will be posting them shortly and if anyone wants to borrow one, just let me know before 11pm tonight.

I hope you guys come out to this. I know you arent really into competative formats, or vintage yet, but this is a great tournament to start because it will be much more relaxed and fun.

This is the dredge list I would play. It is very explosive, winning on turns 2-3, but capable of turn 1 wins. Its a very fun deck to play.

This is a possibility. I'd like to try noble fish. I have the FOW's, 1 goyf, and all the fetchlands and tundra. No true believers...

I don't know if I want to pay $25 to get my ass handed to me.

Pay 10 dollars to get your ass handed to you and 15 dollars to eat a good barbeque and hang out with (mostly) mature magic players.

If I come, I'm bringing veggie dogs.

If you come, I will actually eat one of your abominable veggie dogs.

Whoa did I lose badly. Remind me not to play a deck with Meddling Mage (or Cabal Therapy) when I don't know the format at all.

I enjoyed the BBQ, though. Thanks for giving me a deck to play, John. Sorry I scrubbed so badly.

Im really glad you showed up. How were your opponents and the overall additude of the event? Competative, casual, annoying?

I ended up in the top 8 and lost against the same guy playing dredge that I lost to in the swiss rounds. I went home with a tiaga, so good day for me.
