      Deal Me In Games presents its 4th event in the 2017 Vintage Tournament Season. The event will be hosted, as always, at Deal Me In Games on the second Saturday of August - August 12 starting at noon.

      Come on out to Deal Me in Games to do battle for top bragging rights and great prizes. Our fourth tournament in the new series will be Saturday August 12th at 12 noon.

      Here are the details:

      Who:
      Jason at Deal Me In Games

      What:
      15 proxy playtest T1 tournament

      Where:
      127 East Philadelphia Ave
      Boyertown, PA 19512
      ph#: 484-415-0058

      When:
      Saturday August 12, 2017 at 12 Noon

      Why:
      So we can get together and have fun playing Magic the Gathering in its best format ever for some kickass prizes. ***

      Entry:
      $30 at the door

      Prize structure - $1000 total in store credit scaled from 30 entries

      1st place: $300 store credit
      2nd place: $200 store credit
      3rd: place: $100 store credit
      4th place: $100 store credit
      5-8th: $75 store credit

      The 2016 events were all a blast. But we're looking for more in 2017. That's why 2017 will see a few major changes to the Deal Me In Games schedule. First instead of hosting tournaments ever 3-4 months we are moving to 1 tournament every other month. Most tournaments will be the 2nd weekend of the month. This will typically only vary depending on pre-releases and major tournaments.

      ***Next, the big announcement - we will track standings and participation for ALL PLAYERS thru the course of the year. At the end of the year we will be able to crown the Champion of DMiG!!! Points will be awarded each round you play - Win=3, tie=2 Loss=1. Points will accumulate throughout the the year so the more events your participate in, the more points you can accumulate. Prizes will be given at the end of the year to the top player.
      These points will not have any affect on individual tournaments or prizes for each tournament. The point system and any prizes associated with it are purely a bonus to our normal structure.

      The top 8 point earners will be invited to a special invitational only event at the end of the year/beginning of 2018.

      After 3 events here is the point totals for the Deal Me In Games top 8 champs:

      Dan Barkon 32
      Josh Barkon 42
      Jason Beaupre 21

        We're coming up much faster than people realize. The last wave of restrictions is in full swing. The meta is shaking out.
        Not to mention the great battle for top 8 championship event at the end of the year. Top 8 is listed above with a full list of all point totals. Lots of people still in the running!

            Craig Berry will be on hand selling cards. He will be accepting DMIG Store Credit on his cards and you will be able to use winnings on his cards.

            See everyone Saturday.

                  Since Craig Berry is going to be there, I'd like to take a moment to mention The Same Picture of Craig Berry Every Day. We are a completely free-to-view page designed to allow you, the viewer, to see the same picture of Craig Berry every day at 7 PM EDT. We are always looking to include more viewers, and welcome any insight as to how we can make the viewing process more enjoyable for all.

                  LOL this is so amazing, i'm literally laughing out loud at work right now....

                    I'll have full report and meta breakdown in a few days. But we had a full split of top 8 and a VERY diverse meta. Shops and mentor of course, but we also had white eldrazi, dredge, oath (salvagers and saheeli variants). The 3 dredge decks represented 3 more dredge decks than we've had in the past 4 events combined!

                    Only 19 showed as once again another shop in the region announced an event on the same day.

                    I understand each shop has its own interests at heart but I have always gone out of my way to schedule our events around what other shops have planned. Notice of our events is out there 1 1/2 months early. We've now not only had other people using my announcement thread to cross promote their event once but have now had 2 events double scheduled.

                    We will continue to conduct ourselves in the same manner - schedule events a good time out, stick to a pretty regular and well known schedule, try not to step on other stores toes. But if some of these other stores want to keep double dipping they have to realize they are hurting themselves by doing so.

                      I have pictures from the event but need to figure out how to make them smaller files to site allowances before I can upload them.
