    If your doing old school, Id say Scourge/7th Edition and before at the newest, nothing with the new borders. And is there going to be any banned/restricted lists?

    As for the prize being a sword, although I probably couldnt make a very good deck, Id still be interested in playing with a prize like that. I could always use a new sword... I have a friend who loves swords who might be interested too, though hed probably have to use my cards.

    then why do people keep saying that they want it? So far I've heard more positive from people than negitive. If you don't want to participate then don't.

    Just 7th and Scourge? No thanks, mate.

    Otherwise, it is a good idea.

    Had my Nishoba and Elf decks not been stolen, I'd so be up for this. As it stands, I'd be willing to put my remaining rares up as a prize if I go to PAX this year.

    More like Habit.

    All I'm asking is will there be some sort of free play area. I gave up Magic a looong time ago, but I would like to play some card game while I' m up there.

    Three questions. The second one is for ultra-clarification.

    1) Any takers yet?

    2) All sets before 7th and Scourge are fine, right? So I could bring my deck which uses cards from Portal, Urza's Legacy, Urza's Saga, Alliances, Tempest, Exodus, Weatherlight, Stronghold, Legends, Scourge, Mirage, Ice Age, Urza's Destiny and you'd be cool with that?

    3) If I asked for it, would you remind me in August?

    Although 7th and Scourge arnt that old, they were the last sets with the original border, while all the new cards and all of type 2 right now uses the new border. So, it kinda makes sense including up through 7th...

    I started playing magic myself on December 25th, 1994 with a deck of Revised my cousin got me. I cant believe that was over 10 years ago and Magic is still around...

    What? No Portal? It is okay, I'll live.

    Dang, I just realised that I am still going to be 17 when the tournament happens. Good thing there is a back-up plan (ha, like I'd even make it that far).

    If a parent isn't there but you do want to claim a sword, I will give you a mailing address and a claim packet. have a parent sign the packet and send with it a photocopy of their drivers licence and I will mail the sword to you.

    Edit: this is only to claim a functional sword. You can claim the fantasy sword immediately.

    PAX has official tournaments and official programming. If you want to run a tournament, fine, but it's a bit of a slap in the face if you want to try making money off of the whole thing.
