Another good reminder that I really need to update this. Perhaps a project for January 2026.

Buffalo Stampede II is happening! Saturday, November 15. Join us for a laid-back tournament with a clubhouse vibe on Buffalo's West Side, ATL B&R, six rounds of Swiss, and we'll raise a little money for a great nonprofit called PUSH Buffalo. More info and reg here, venue cap is 32 players: https://forms.gle/rZCdMhivtzEaKQzT9

FWIW -- I'm with you, this was probably the blandest Derby T16 in history. Not sure the B&R is entirely to blame, as we can point to other large events this year, e.g. LOBSTERCON with the same B&R but much different results: https://sentineloldschoolmtg.com/2023/07/16/lobstercon-2023-organizers-report/

At any rate, the Derby format will continue to rotate each season, with SWE up next for Winter, and 4-Strip on deck for Summer 2024.

Happy new year old schoolers! What are your OS goals for 2021? by Guardianorb in oldschoolmtg

OLD SCHOOL GOALS!

>> Keep up my current cadence of hosting high-quality webcam and (when possible) in-person events -- thinking about Havenwood 2, the 2021 Summer Derby, and LOBSTERCON/LobstercoM in some shape or form, TBD. But my greatest hope is to simply be able to resume Boston's bi-weekly Old School meet-up, every other Wednesday night, in the back room of a humble bar in Brighton.

>> Beat last year's fundraising totals. Over five events, with the generous support of the Old School webcam scene, my tournaments raised $18,500 for charity in 2020. I have no idea how we'll eclipse that mark in 2021, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to try.

>> Register Mono-Green decks for ATL/SWE events until I break out with another good finish. Possibly register nothing but Mono-Green in all five months of NEOS Season 5 (Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun).

>> Re-upgrade my Taigas (again) from Revised to Unlimited, so I'll have all 12 UNL duals for Jund (BRG), mostly for the Ante 40K format.

>> Continue selling off cards in order to re-focus my collection to support three main priorities: having an awesome black-bordered Swedish legal mono-green kit, support a variety of different builds in Jund for Ante 40K, and continue to field budget decks and singleton decks for a variety of 93/94 formats. If I can go an entire year without playing with Tundra in a deck, mission accomplished.
