Join us to celebrate COPcon's 24th outing! Everyone - especially new people - is warmly welcome as we gather to play some Old School Magic.
Our venue reverts to Ye Olde Rose and Crown, a characterful pub in Walthamstow, just a short walk from the tube. Also accessible on the Overground.
We will be playing SWEDISH Old School banned & restricted list, but with a relaxed UK reprint policy, allowing Revised, Fourth Edition, Chronicles, etc.
Entry fee is a little higher than usual - probably around £10, chiefly to cover room hire. COPcon is a non-profit event: all profits from the event will go to LICK (London Inner City Kitties), our partner charity.
As usual, we will play with the Brothers of Fire play philosophy - this means we avoid overly-competitive antics, and frown upon gamesmanship, excessively slow play, etc. We are all here to have fun.
Key details:
- Swedish Old Schoool B&R (if you don't know what this means, please Google it or PM me)
- We have a liberal reprint policy, following standard UK rules (i.e. nearly any non-foil old-frame card is legal - including Revised, Fourth and Fifth edition, and Timeshifted cards with the original frame and art).
- All proxies, cards printed in the 'new' frame, gold-bordered cards, foils, M30 cards, Collectors' Edition, and International Collectors' Edition are not legal for this event. However, you are welcome to play all these cards in casual games afterwards.
- We will start very soon after MIDDAY - please be on-time.
Prizes:
- The 'Spirit of COPcon' award is the main prize - a Brothers Of Fire, signed by all tournament entrants, and awarded to the player with the most original deck or most sporting play.
- The winner of the competition gets a traditional Circle of Protection: Artifacts for the sideboard at future events.
Afterwards, everyone is encouraged to stick around for cube and casual games, including our house format, Brothers' Highlander (details on Google).
Please post any queries below and don't forget to RSVP accurately so that we have an idea of numbers.
