WotC_Eric Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hey, my name is Eric Sorensen and I work with Wizards of the Coast. We’re sorry to hear that your National Championship got canceled, so I wanted to pop in and make sure that you heard what Wizards of the Coast announced today: Wizards of the Coast today announced that invitations to the Magic: The Gathering® National Championships will be extended to qualified Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game players in response to the recent announcement that their National Championships are canceled. “We respect the accomplishments of all high-level tournament players,” said Chris Galvin, VP of Organized Play for Wizards of the Coast. “We’d like to do what we can to honor their achievements and keep them gaming.” Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game players who hold an invitation to the Yu-Gi-Oh! US or Canadian Nationals that were scheduled to take place this year will be welcomed to come play Magic at the equivalent Magic: The Gathering Nationals in summer 2009. Interested players can simply contact the Wizards Game Support team by visiting http://wizards.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wizards.cfg/php/enduser/doc_serve.php?2=magic or by calling 1-800-324-6496.

Wizards of the Coast is not endorsed or sponsored by, or affiliated with, Shueisha or Konami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators YCMaker Posted March 3, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Seeing as this is directly related to Yu-Gi-Oh and to the benefit of TCG players, I'm keeping this unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy person Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 So they are inviting us there to play Magic... How does this help YU-Gi-Oh players again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
「tea.leaf」 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 This is touching, even though it's not our game... Thanks for the thoughts and efforts. :'3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweller of Parables Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 So...I moved on to MTG anyway.But for me to go to Nationals...no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 This is very nice, but what we really need is an organization that will put on actual Yugioh championships. Though, the thought of a bunch of complete noobs to magic who only know yugioh showing up at nationals is mildly amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PikaPerson01 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks for the considerations Sparky, but I think I'll be sitting out. No offense, but it really is touching to see that the Magic community would extend itself to the Yu-Gi-Oh community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Lightray Daedalus- Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Really touching....I always knew that MTG comunnity will open us a door...Still I don't get of it is for a YGO or a MT tourney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 An MTG tourney. Which is less than helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lightray Daedalus- Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 well at least is a try...maybe one day wizard of the coast will bring yugioh back to official life...that would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 This is touching, but Konami is giving us back tournaments starting from April, its going to be called COSSY Although, i haven't played MTG before, I might give it a try :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chaos Pudding Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 That's very nice of WotC. I mean, it's obviously a very transparent attempt to catch players jumping ship from YGO, but it's still nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werewolfjedi Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I know MTG, I've plated for a long time, and I have to say;that game is much more unforgiving than Yugioh in professional play. I mean when one of the best players wins on turn one with an attack that reaches into yugioh numbers when you have only 20 life, it just isn't right. however, the standard play style makes all the best decks illegal after some time to force new ideas, so all you really have to do is wait 3-4 months for the next 2 sets to come out, and push out some key card that was needed to make that wtf deck not work anymore.

Sleepy Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 its a nice attempt but I can't but say that if I enjoyed MTG as much as Yugioh, I wouldn't really be in this site.Its some commersial attempt to turn some Yugioh players into MTG players.. I'm curious to see how many people will actually switch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's a ranking system, we still have no info on actual tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I don't know of any YVD-esque system designed for Magic, so I'm not converting. If such a system existed, however, I would probably never have taken up Yugimonz in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
