Tweets on Legacy and Vintage PTQs

Famous Magic (and poker) player Eric Froehlich recently opined on the wishes for Legacy or even Vintage PTQs and Pro Tours. Some of the conversation between him, David Williams, Matt Sperling, and WotC employee Worth Wollpert’s dialogue can be found in the Tweets below.

I know it's impossible, 0%, etc, but Legacy is so sweet and Modern is SO unplayably bad, would be awesome if there could be Legacy PTQs/PT!

@efropoker Legacy PTQs would be glorius

— Chris Pikula (@meddlingmage) September 17, 2013

@meddlingmage @efropoker the fact that they decided to stick to the reserve list means this is basically impossible.

— David Williams (@dwpoker) September 17, 2013

@dwpoker @meddlingmage I'm aware, and I'm ok with that, but nothing wrong with a little daydreaming

— eric froehlich (@efropoker) September 17, 2013

@efropoker @meddlingmage well then…how bout some Vintage PTQ/PTs #daydreaming big time

— David Williams (@dwpoker) September 17, 2013

@dwpoker @efropoker @meddlingmage now you're talking my language.

— Luis Scott-Vargas (@lsv) September 17, 2013

@dwpoker @meddlingmage while that would be gas, legacy is still the 'better' more diverse format in terms of card choices

— eric froehlich (@efropoker) September 17, 2013

@meddlingmage @efropoker maybe online someday? Cc @mturian

— Worth Wollpert (@mtgworth) September 17, 2013

@mtgworth @meddlingmage @efropoker That does sound fun.

— Mike Turian (@mturian) September 17, 2013

@mturian @mtgworth @meddlingmage @efropoker that's why Worth is in charge. Awesome idea.
