Additional Notes:
(1) I would like to advocate for testing out the imminent London mulligan rule at this event.
(2) If some are interested in testing cards to be released in the upcoming set (in this case, War of the Spark [WAR]), then feel welcome.
Several attendees traveled many hours to attend this weekend packed with vintage magic.
Without their support and the support of the vintage community, this event would not have been possible.
I know several circumstances prevented a few players from coming, but alas, the beat goes onward.
9 players came out for the event.

Thanks again to everyone that came out.
Stay tuned for our next event!
Eight (8) players came out to play some Vintage for March!
Though the numbers decreased from February, there were four (4) new players that decided to give our monthly series a try, so I am still glad to see the community making steady growth.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to the next one!
Many thanks to all that attended and provided some additional feedback regarding the event to help improve it.
For April, we are looking into testing out the London Mulligan.
Until then!
I can only respond to the Bant Version of Survival since I have the most experience with this version, but so far I find that the most advantageous part is having access to all different sorts of hatebears for different situations.
That said, a lot of the time, you can tweak your list to be better prepared against other lists if you know the meta you are headed (for example running: stony silence and kataki main vs. just in the sb).
In recent days, I have been testing a BUGw version (BUG with a light splash of white for containment priest), and so far my testing has the list trading part of the mana consistency for access to Force of Will and other interactive cards.
I need more testing with the BUG version to continue my evaluation.
Updated with all of the finalized details! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
The US Vintage Championship is a yearly opportunity to display one’s passion and support for the oldest format of them all.
For many in the Vintage community, this event provides one of the largest venues with the most far-reaching exposure and impact across the region.
Hundreds attend the event in hopes of claiming the title of Vintage Champion and taking home an oversized, reimagined card design of a Legendary Power Nine card, a truly priceless treasure.
In the end, there can be only one winner to claim the title and prize.
How would you like a bye to help you on your quest to the end?
