The Vintage some people would enjoy is not the Vintage other people enjoy. I like the current format and would oppose anything this drastic to change it, partly because it would stop feeling like Vintage.
We've got two coming from Columbus! (If anyone else wants a ride from that area, let me know.)
@ten-ten I played it! It's fun to goldfish. I went 2-4 overall and probably could have done better if my opening hands had looked better and I'd played as aggressively as necessary.

We got Middle School scheduled for Magic Fest Cleveland weekend! There will be a tournament at Mars Bar in Lakewood at 7 p.m. on Friday, February 22.
Mars Bar is a great local bar with beer and gyros, a short ride from the convention center. Even if you can't make it in time it will be a great opportunity to learn about the format and meet people.
For episode 37, Geoff Moes (@ThallidTosser on Twitter), Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher), and Josh Chapple (@joshchapple) talk with Steve McGrew and Jake Hilty (@TuringTested, our first returning guest) about a new, fun format we’ve been enjoying. It’s not as old as Old School or as new as Modern – it’s Middle School!

For episode 36, Geoff Moes (@ThallidTosser on Twitter), Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher), and Josh Chapple (@joshchapple) are joined by Erin Campbell (@OriginalOestrus) to talk about a bunch of fun Vintage topics including the importance of the community, the Vintage Super League, Dredge, and Two-Card Monte. She also helps us depart a little from our usual “discerning” food-and-drink discussion to a more “picky” angle.
Here’s the timestamped table of contents for your listening ease and enjoyment:
00:27 – Erin and the Vintage Community
33:20 – Preparing to Crush the VSL

We're also selling shirts, with multiple colors and styles to choose from. Last time (three years ago) we used the profits to upgrade mics and some of our live Magic streaming equipment!
@aelien You could be like Geoff and listen to them over and over and over as you edit them. That's value!
