CCG Tournaments

I don't see any references to any CCG Tournies. Anyone know if these will be happening? Specifically magic tournies? Last year the wizards room held a lot of events, I'm hoping the same this year 8-)

They had good prize support, won a 4gb ipod nano!

    This has been asked on the forums at least twice that I can remember in the last 2 weeks. Wizards is running their own room again this year and will have some form of tournament, but it is unlikely we will know the exact details before PAX.

    End of thread. Please cut along the [dashed] line. (I'm sure this will become some long conversation).

    That sucks that there won't be any MtG Vintage events... Anyone else up for it if I bring some decks?

    If I have time, and can actually re-assemble my deck in time for this, I'm definitely game. =)

    If anyone has a combo deck involving Stuffy Doll, let me know... if I can get my Ink-Treader Nephilim deck put together in time, we can make a devastating two headed giant combination. =)

    3 Questions:
    1. What Tournament pack and what booster packs are going to be used in the Mega FNM?
    2. In the Mega FNM "4 classic FNM Foil Promo Cards" Anyone know what FNM cards these are?
    3. In the Shadowmoor Sealed deck "All participants each receive a Magic: The Gathering Foil promo card." Anyone know what card this'll be?
    4. For the Con League, what's in the card pool? Commons, Uncommons, Rares, Promos?

    The Ink-Treader deck has been remade, sans the expensive dual lands. =(

    And all should cry, beware, beware! His flashing eyes, his flowing hair!

    ... okay, maybe not. But game on nonetheless. =)
