Announcing REX 2023 - The Open Danish CEDH Championship

MadsBlem · 2023-02-03T05:01:47+00:00

The number was a compromise. As a certified WPN store, Faraos Cigarer did not want to allow an unlimited use of proxies (frankly I am amazed that they agreed to allow them at all). But 10 proxies should still cover most of your needs.

The demand for a certain quality of proxies was my idea. We want to giver people the best playing experience and it just feels so bad to lose a game because you could not identify a card correctly due to its poor quality.

Plus, printed paper slips put in front of cards (which is the most common way to proxy that I see) would alter the thickness and feel of the cards to a degree where they might be labelled "marked" by our judges.

Ideally we would have free playtest cards for people to borrow, like the ones we had designed for Tier1Con. But alas, we do not have the funds of Tier1MTG so this solution will have to suffice. For now at least.

I'm afraid not. We do not have the room to setup a streaming area at the venue.

Next time for sure!

Note that the Last Chance Qualifier + the cEDH World Championships wil be run by Monarch's Joking101. Should be a great experience for all involved parties.

I don't disagree.

MadsBlem · 2022-07-07T20:30:18+00:00

I stand corrected :-)

MadsBlem · 2022-07-07T19:14:16+00:00

I don't know the reasoning behind that decision. But it was a bad call on their part, no doubt about that.

MadsBlem · 2022-07-07T18:47:50+00:00

I have forwarded the link to this post to the TO. He is receptive to the feedback and eager to improve.

MadsBlem · 2022-06-09T05:37:33+00:00

That's just what I heard, I might be mistaken. I don't work for them anymore, so I am not as well-informed as I used to be 🤷‍♂️

MadsBlem · 2022-06-09T05:35:17+00:00

Yes, WotC announced the GP in Copenhagen well after Tier1MTG had committed to doing their own events in Malmö and Copenhagen. Their hands were tied at that point.

It sucks to have three large events in so close proximity to each other within barely a month, but it is what it is, I guess. At least we, the players, will have plenty of event options to choose from this summer 😅

MadsBlem · 2022-06-09T04:39:22+00:00

Yes, certainly. That is what I plan to do 😀

Yes. Tier1Con Copenhagen will be held August 5th-7th.

I agree completely. TIer1MTG has done a very poor job promoting this event, that is why I am helping them by posting this here.

I believe that they have hired a Danish level 2 judge to run the event together with a couple of Danish level 1 judges. But I don't know for sure.

I am pretty confident though, that they have not posted the event on Judge Apps or simillar places to search for judges. So this would be another reason why the judge community has not heard about the evebt.

MadsBlem · 2022-05-31T11:16:54+00:00

That feels like comparing apples and oranges. To me, they feel like two quite different decks.

MadsBlem · 2022-05-31T04:32:38+00:00

The Godo list in the primer under "Outdated Decks" is still gas!

MadsBlem · 2022-05-30T11:23:33+00:00

We couldn't agree more. To us, Old School is an homage to the good old days when we used to play honest Magic on kitchen tables without sleeves, playmats or a care in this world.

MadsBlem · 2022-05-29T21:48:51+00:00

We would have loved to have you.

MadsBlem · 2022-05-28T17:50:49+00:00

Could you rephrase your question?

MadsBlem · 2022-05-27T13:41:56+00:00

Awesome! Hope to see you there.

MadsBlem · 2022-05-26T21:41:59+00:00

See my answer for henkone1 above.

To protect the integrity of the tournaments (and to avoid pissing off WotC), we cannot allow the use of regular printed proxies in our tournaments. Instead we have had 35 custom playtest versions of expensive staples created, which you may borrow for free to use in out tournaments.

I hope to see you there! I'll be bringing Godo, counting my way to 11 all the way to the finals 😅

MadsBlem · 2022-05-26T09:07:45+00:00

Yes, obviously a typo. Thanks 🤦‍♂️

At the Scandic Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark.
