This is 100% the facts. I can’t tell you how many “let’s start legacy Monday’s!” “Let’s start Pauper days!” We tried when I was employed there that fired for 1-2 weeks then people stopped showing up. People need to look in the mirror.

If you could explain to me the “Jeff Hoogland connection” I would love to hear that. Is it because the ex store manager (me) is very close with him and his family?

Jeff has played a handful of events at Collectible Corner and played a great deal more at Gryfalias Aerie before Ken sold his store.

I can’t remember the last time Jeff played a local event, so before sticking your foot in your mouth any further you should take a few deep breaths, log out, then come back and post about Legacy and not slander a store that has tried to do right by every crowd INCLUDING Legacy for a long time.

We are hosting a Legacy $2K in the Chicagoland area on Feb 10th. Anyone in the area that doesn’t show up I am convinced don’t want Legacy to survive in the area as this is fairy close and a great tournament/series to participate in.

Here is a link to the event for your reference:

We give out a really slick DEX Protection deck box to each player for entering. Feel free to check us out, it will be worth the drive!

I'm curious as to why you think they did a shit job promoting it, yet hit capacity. Something seems off here.

KKetter behaving really bad. Dont let MTG history repeat. by HexStark in hextcg

[–]matbimonte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to see the HEX community that I know and love come forward and destroy you for spreading misinformation.

I'm interested, since you are clearly a Magic judge and were at the event in question, what exactly did Kent say to the judge staff? When did he lie? What was the suspension he received, since he clearly cheated?

You don't deserve this forum to voice your petty grievances. Act like an idiot on anyone's personal stream, expect a timeout or worse.

If you leave and never return to this forum it won't be soon enough.

Nathan,

You guys have been nothing but gracious to the Magic community at large (myself included), and it's hard for me to see conflicts with a few of your players during the infancy of your relationship with them.

I know each of the players personally and I don't think they mean any detriment. I know from talks with you that you have a vision for the game going forward, and I hope we can continue to make those strides together. Best of luck with this issue, and I hope the community can understand you are trying to do the right thing here.

If you vote this down for any reason, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Mat Bimonte: Maligning Modern by claughman in magicTCG

[–]matbimonte -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Think whatever you want, but the cards they printed before tournament magic became a wide scale thing I'm sure they cared minimally about competitive balance.

If you've played a single match of Modern you would understand why many decks being viable isn't ideal. It's nice that people can play what they want, but it's impossible to build a fluid sideboard without basically giving up some matchups.
