...and every single PT is standard. This is bull, everyone send in hate mail! 54 GPs though, and {Griselbrand} is the promo
Wait wait. Every khans block pro tour is standard?? Really?? Thought they were trying to make modern a bigger deal!
That promo though. I wish it.
Still, that new border :-/

Linkie?
Twitch.tv. It was anounced during Pro Tour Coverage.
Wait is he the gp promo or pro your promo
I hate that Wizards has basically nullified Modern as a relevant format...sucks too, it's my favorite format
There's a few Modern GP's, don't see why everyone is upset. I have a Nebraska GP coming up =P May not end up making it though.
Is there a gp schedule written out anywhere?

Nothing against the people from the Midwest, but did wizards get their demographic sheets mixed up? Why are half the GPs in the Midwest with the rest being way weighted towards the east coast...and yet there is what, one tourney in the northeast? This is .loving. stupid.
I feel you. I live in Western New York and I have to drive like 300 miles to get to a GP.
I'm glad to see one in Charlotte again, though. Driving the 2.5/4.5 Hours to Richmond/DC was annoying.

The closest GP for me is 4 and a half hours.
Yeah, its something like that for me too. When I went to GP Cincinnati last year, it took 8 hours to get there because of three separate pile-ups along the way. Missed playmats by 45 minutes and a 5 hour drive took 3 hours longer than it should have. The worst part was that we were going to to leave at like 5am, and would have avoided it all, but someone had to get to the bank at 9....

I want those back! I live in VA and it's 5 hours to Charlotte.
Charlotte's only about an hour and a half for me when I'm at school, about two when I'm at home. I drove the drive to Richmond and DC last season, you can make the drive to Charlotte next season.
What is the closest to Oklahoma??

It's a hard life. I'm in Australia. I get two GPs per year in my country. The closest one for me means I have to drive an hour and a half to the airport, catch a three hour flight, then another hour long trip from that airport in either a cab, a hire car or public transport. And that's for the GP closest to me. Throw in accommodation on top of all that. That's why I play MTGO......

The gp 15 minutes away from me is modern.
What the hell? There's no chicago gp?
No legacy GP on the east coast means I'm probably going to Seattle/Tacoma.
Yeah the GPs lack in SoCal, it seems scg events are taking over San Diego
We have GP LA this fall, but it's still not as many as I see all over the Midwest and eaast coast
Really wizards?!! Every pt is standard!! That's bull .poo.!! Sure it's popular but standard is such a small format. Look right now there are like 4 decks in standard. I was sick of watching Mono Black vs Mono Black splash Elspeth now I have to watch more standard?! Arghh!!
(Or do I sound like a spoiled brat?) like I do enjoy standard but there are no real variation in decks and as a rogue player I wish there was
I think they believe Standard provides a much more fun events. Also, some people believe that since Theros was so weak, and none of its cards would show up in Modern, that it's kinda simliar to what happened during Homelands.

I think it is a money grab. Magic has been growing, but sales have sort of plateaued, thanks to lower power level and sets like Born with like 2 cards that are worth anything. In addition, standard has actually been going down in popularity as players tired of devotion decks turn to commander and modern. By pushing standard, they can sell more boxes.
Interesting theory on MTGSalvation: "Something of note, May 30th-31st is listed as to be determined cities in three different continents, all Limited. Calling it now.... Modern Masters 2 events."

Wouldn't that make GPs like $80 entry?
How much do normal Limited gps cost?

From Wizards, "entry fees vary from event to event." My guess is $40-70, depending on MSRP, organizers, etc.

This. D demon, and Gary = standard decks
I still respect standard and won't discourage anyone playing it. But i will say it is boring when everyone runs the same cards. Come on Wizards. If you're gonna have all these other amazing formats. At least give the players some places for said formats. That don't require people going 100s of miles to make it to your PT/GP.
...guess there's always FNM...
I live in the wny, but i havent gone to any real tournement... Yet.

Where in WNY? I live in Westfield, NY. It sucks not having any real tournaments around here, I had to go to Cincinnati this year and I am thinking of going to Philadelphia next year...
Sweet, one in OKC. I better practice up.
I'll see you there.
PT Dewey just changed to Modern!
ALLELUJAH

Where do we get event details?

This has all the new changes coming soon.
Speculation on where the un-named GPs will be? We tend to get 2 in NorCal every year, so I have my fingers crossed on the North America one...
