Following on from the previous newsletter released earlier this week, Bazaar Games is continuing to bring a tournament scene to the Watford area with weekly Modern.
This tournament allows unlimited proxies currently, eventually this number will reduce lower and lower and there will be some events in the future with higher prize pools for decks with 0 proxies.
For those who are confused to what a proxy is, it is usually a piece of paper with the card printed on it, used to represent the card you wish to use instead of using the real card. This allows you to test a multitude of decks without breaking the bank in competative play, which is handy with the format being so new.
Proxies need to be printed out with all the rules text, mana cost, power/toughness, etc written clearly on the card.
Introduction to Modern:
For those who may be unfamiliar to Modern, a quick explanation is as follows:
Modern is a constructed format which players must bring a deck with at least 60 cards and may bring a sideboard with either 0 or 15 cards in it.
The Modern format consists of all Magic sets printed since the introduction of the modern card frame, starting with Eighth Edition. This includes Eighth Edition, Ninth Edition, Tenth Edition, Magic 2010,Magic 2011, Magic 2012, the Coldsnap expansion set, and the following blocks: Mirrodin, Kamigawa,Ravnica, Time Spiral, Lorwyn, Shadowmoor, Shards of Alara, Zendikar, and Scars of Mirrodin.
Twenty-one cards are included on the banned list for Modern:

Dread Return
Glimpse of Nature
Golgari Grave-Troll
