We are mainly here to talk about Magic (decks, strategies, upcoming local events, news, meeting up, letting each other borrow cards, etc.) but feel free to talk about other stuff as well, such as our beloved sports teams and wonderful restaurants, as long as you follow the MTGSalvation Forum Rules. We are pretty laid back here but don't abuse it.
So who's all attending what for the next couple of months? I for sure can't make the 10th eudo tournament, but I am shooting for the 17th at CFG. Less likely, but it's a try. I am going to the side events in April at CFG.
I'll also be adding to the events thread in Legacy, a link to this thread.
PikachuGundam - San Jose, CA - Legacy (sorta), Modern (sorta), EDH, cube - Phil
I only say sorta for Legacy because I only have 1 'competitive' deck and I haven't updated it like I should have, but I don't really get the chance to play it very often. As for Modern, I've only recently started trying to play competitively in the format, so I've tried assembling a couple decks to see what I like, but haven't found anything that really works. I currently have something that looks like the Melissa DeTora B/W tokens list.
Big events I'll be attending:
3/16 Grand Prix San Diego (hence the dabbling into Modern)
4/6 World Cup Qualifier maybe? (for side events)
4/?? ChannelFireball Leaderboard 1K (for limited)
5/11 Grand Prix Portland maybe? (depending on how I do in San Diego)
6/22 Grand Prix Las Vegas
I didn't know that GPSD was coming up so quickly. I originally thought it was at the end of the month... I think I need to scramble if I'm still planning to go...
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

Cynicath - currently living in Hollister, but moving to SF in the summer for dental school @ UCSF. Legacy is my favorite format, but I also love EDH. Can't wait to get some games in with you guys once I live a bit closer.
I play draft and EDH. no other constructed decks. CFB is very close to where I work. I don't actually go to the store much though since I have a kid and the wife doesn't want me away from home more than necessary. Basically I feel lucky to be able to go to a prerelease.
If any of you regular CFB members know James Gray, I play test his home made sets a lot with him.

I used to have a cube and could make a proxy cube if I got a group; cube is my favorite format. I also enjoy limited and would be interested in breaking into modern and legacy in the future when I could get more mileage out of the investment in terms of tournaments.
hey, anyone going to be playing at the Eudo even this weekend (the legacy, not modern).
I'll be there. 10 proxies. It's gonna be CRAY CRAY

Yeah I plan on being there, unless something comes up last minute (which it always seems to). 10 proxy makes it tough to decide what to play! I played shardless BUG at the last tournament I played. Felt entirely too swingy. Not sure I want to play it again in a real tournament.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

Mostly play EDH, Cube, Limited, and Legacy, but I'll occasionally play modern and I've been known to play Type 2 on occasion with a borrowed deck.
Can't say how active I'll be in here, but I'll try to drop by and stay up to date with y'all.
