CONGRATULATIONS PETER GRUBE, THE NJ OPEN 2 CHAMPION!!!
The prize support is quite crazy. I look forward to hearing the results of this tournament, as it's only a week before Champs/States, as mentioned. It might heavily influence what people bring.
Come guys who is going, remember the last one, but no space issue this time. Great prizes and in a central location. Amtrak about 15 blocks away and the local regional lines is at 8th and market that is only 4 blocks away.
I'm definitely going to try to go. I'll probably be playing in the Vintage event, and if it doesn't occur at the same time I'll play in Standard as well.
normally, we(my friends and I) would make the trek to one of these things, but CharCon (Charelston, W.V.) is like two weeks before states, so we'll get our testing done there, as its like 45 minutes away.
so, who's going? who's gonna win this thing? when should I announce that I'm going to add 2 more foil playsets so 1st and 2nd get 2 PICKS out of the draft!! ridiculous!!!

I'll try and go. The prize support is calling to me (especially the Mutavaults and Cryptics). Though judging by the new "Mythic" rarity, aren't foil Vols going to be... umm... priced insanely high?
My gf is going to school in PA, so it wouldn't be a big deal for me to travel, it just depends on whether I have the time... And whether I'll be scrabbling for new Shards cards along with everyone else. -_- Maybe I'll just... erm... go with Elves or Faeries... <_< Screw the shards.
Seems like I'll definitely be able to go, and I'll be bringing three people. I'm going to play Standard unless I can get a Vintage deck from Davis or someone. The other three will be playing Standard for sure.
im sure there will be alot of people there that just dont want to write anything, also no one told me about the last one but i seen it on myspace. you should send event invited on there nick. and some people didnt go because there was a t1 the same day now there are no excuses

I'll be playing vintage.
The Septa Regional Rail actually drops off at Market East Station which is connected to the Convention Center itself.
