The winner of last month's poll was pauper so... We will have two pauper drafts and two pauper constructed events. Pauper drafts will be January 4rd and 18th. They will still be 8 dollars and will happen at the same time and place (Hampton Courts Clubhouse Mondays at 6 P.M.). In these drafts you open your pack and pocket the rare. It is yours to keep. Then you draft as normal. If you are lucky enough to open a pack with two rares/mythics,you keep both and the pack will have a random common added. So the draft decks you build will be completely rare free.
ColumbiaFreeMagic will be hosting Extended Pauper Tournaments on Friday, Jan 8th and Friday Jan 22nd at the Hampton Courts Clubhouse, starting at 6pm.
They will be free events but there will be Zendikar boosters as availiable prize support. Top 4 and one random person will be able to choose between a DCI foil OR packs.
The basic rule of Pauper Magic says that only Commons are legal.
Pauper Legality Rule: A card is legal in a Pauper format if it is a common in that format. (Cards that are common in another format like Legacy, but uncommon in all Extended set printings, are not legal).
Timeshifted (Purple rarity symbol-TSB) cards are rares for Pauper purposes (since that is their equivalent rarity, from a frequency point of view) and so are not legal.
The following card sets are permitted in Extended Pauper tournaments:
Ninth Edition
Tenth Edition
Magic 2010
Mirrodin
Darksteel
Fifth Dawn
Champions of Kamigawa
Betrayers of Kamigawa
Saviors of Kamigawa
Ravnica: City of Guilds
Guildpact
Dissension
Coldsnap
Time Spiral
Planar Chaos
Future Sight
Lorwyn
Morningtide
Shadowmoor
Eventide
Shards of Alara
Conflux
Alara Reborn
Zendikar
Worldwake (effective February 5, 2010)
Rise of the Eldrazi (effective April 23, 2010)
The following cards are banned in Extended Pauper tournaments:
* Aether Vial
* Disciple of the Vault
* Sensei's Divining Top
* Skullclamp
# Cranial Plating
The following cards are restricted (only one copy per deck/sideboard may be played) in Extended Pauper tournaments:
# Ancient Den
# Great Furnace
# Seat of the Synod
# Tree of Tales
# Vault of Whispers
# Darksteel Citadel
* From http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Resources.aspx?x=judge/resources/sfrextended
# From http://pdcmagic.com/faq.html#2-4
2.4 Is there a banned or a restricted list in PDC?
Yes. Cranial Plating is banned in all formats and Artifact Lands (Ancient Den, Great Furnace, Seat of the Synod, Tree of Tales, Vault of Whispers, Darksteel Citadel) are restricted to one of each in Extended. This is to weaken Affinity decks, which might be metagame-warping otherwise, while allowing one of each Artifact Land to be used by decks in Extended that can find a use of them.

Crazy Top Seven from another Big Turnout
Congrats to Andy, Evan, Jacob, Amanda!,Captain,Jay, and Geoffrey for their great adaptation skills in making the most of new decks and new rules. Thanks to everyone who came out and mafe this a huge fun event!
Zen Block Multiplayer=Massive Fun
Don Dahl's playtest group put three in the winner's circle. Dahl narrowed the gap to just three points behind Gelli. Davis moved safely into 7th. Jacob made one of his rare appearances count. Newcomer Jolly demonstrated serious multiplayer skillz. Stormy got solidified his top four spot and Marsi continued his late run to the top 8.
Top 5 Standard Finishers
The Top Two tightened again as Don Dahl narrowed the gap on Joe Gelli. Cory Hill kept moving up the standings and Andrew Davis snuck ever closer to a top 8 berth. Charles Murphy made his first final photo and ensured that vampires will have to continue to be on top players radars.
Worldwake Gameday Fearless Five Finishers
Top 8 in league standings saw a sizeable shakeup as Cory Hill and Rick Nuzum made big jumps. Michael Mayo and Cody Church are just outside the magic 8 spot and don't count out the diabolical Robin Dial as he picks up points in bunchs as we head towards the final few weeks of Spring League.
Top 4 Zen Block Multiplayer Finishers
Aaron Blomberg shows that years of multiplayer practice pay off. Dahl closes the gap on first place. Mr. Mayo sneaks back into the top 8. Amanda Davis looked innocent and unassuming until it was too late for her opponents round after round. Nicely played one and all!
First FNM Top Four
Gelli puts up a top finish to match infinite participation points. Captain Thompson returns triumphantly from her Olive Garden Exile. Victor also returns to the top four after an overhaul of his trusty vamps. Cory meanwhile may have unleashed a monster with the new Open the Vaults deck...
Worldwake Box Tournament Top 8
The top 8 was a great mix of longtime and new players. Nuzums took two slots as did the Buchanans. Recenct addition Robin Dial represented the Columbia Magic League well. The Double D and Andrew Davis connection remained strong and Mr. "Double F" Marsi added another top 8 to go with his Champs near miss.
Top 4 Two Headed Giant Teams and Updated League Standings
A great tournament and a great top 4. Allen and Jeff Folk said preperation, smeperation as their last minute team up took first. Don Dahl dispalyed the classic silver medal face but moved closer to first overall. Andrew Davis smiles as he knows he is now in a tie for the all important 8th and last playoff spot. The Driggers continued the succes of Columbia Magic League members. They also were the top finishing couple (Mr. Mayo and I are just friends...)Stormy made a triumphant return with Karen in tow to keep hopes for first place alive.
Congratulations League Winners
Congrats Billy, Joe, Jay and Greg on making top 4 in the winter league! Congrats Shannon and Victor on winning the ironman awards for most tournaments rocked out at!
Winter League Prize Buffet
One league ends and hundreds of dollars of prizes go to the worthy winners. Make sure you're a part of the bigger and even better Spring League starting Sunday.
