Why should you go to Scholar’s?
Because there are unlimited proxies! One of the major detractions from Vintage tournaments is the fact that many of the competitive cards, such as the Power Nine, Mana Drain, and even dual lands like Underground Sea are expensive – especially to new players.

Proxy tournaments let players who do not own all the expensive competitive cards enjoy the format without having subpar decks. Proxy tournaments also put an emphasis on deck design as well as play skill.  That is because everyone has the same resources, so there is no disparity like there is with other formats between the "haves" and the "have nots".  Additionally, the $6 entry fee is cheaper than a draft!

In these hard economic times, getting the most out of your money is important.  Why draft once, when you could play in almost three Constructed tournaments?  You'll have three times the chance of winning prizes than attending one booster draft.  Additionally, one does not have to suffer from opening a bad pool of cards.

Scholar's is located on 34 Central Sq, Bridgewater, MA.  You may call them at (508) 279-1712.
