OLD BUSINESS 2-of land restrictions Beasts Got more feedback– watching groups, there is a feeling of “what is PAC’s role in the OS community?”– started from the 2-of format discussion – seems like it would make us a joke format– things like unrestricted recall and plague rats are fun, but not huge deals– going to 2-of breaks a common expectation about 4-of and 1-of– who even plays PAC – Spawners had a major event and didn’t play PAC rules– what things can you do to keep it fresh?– maybe PAC should focus more on having fun events, and less on the rule set– should we capitalize on the great events…

Convocation 10 (Zoom) February 1, 2022 Attendees: Beasts of the Bay (Jeremy) Deep Spawners (Andy) Emerald Trolls (Shawn) Clerk (Scott) Notes: OLD BUSINESS 2-of Restrictions – Factory, Workshops, Maze, & Strip Beasts – polarized responses among group One group wants to experiment while others won’t play with the change Spawners – also varied opinions  Few strong opinions of no change while others willing to try If they had to vote would have to say no Trolls – would be for it Currently trying it out at biweekly meetups and no issues yet Similar to ATL where it opens up the brew space with less colorless auto-includes Best if all groups…

Convocation 9 (Zoom) November 4, 2021 Attendees: Beasts of the Bay (Jeremy) Deep Spawners (Andy) Emerald Trolls (Shawn) The Horde (Cam) OLD BUSINESS Proxies No one has any issues about proxies at meetups – this is about tournaments Official PAC position: leave it up to the TO’s, no official position. If/when prices keep going up, we’ll revisit them then. Done with this topic for now Beasts: Didn’t hear anyone who raised concerns around Chalice (though it’s obv different than say Vegas) Spawners: Have had discussions about security – a few of their members are in this line of work There was one comment from someone about an event who didn’t…

Convocation 8 (Zoom) August 12, 2021 Attendees: Beasts of the Bay (Jeremy) Deep Spawners (Andy) Emerald Trolls (Shawn) Horde (Cam) Clerk (Scott) Agenda: Update by-laws to 24 month term  Already updated Proxies Everyone supports the idea of PAC set of proxies allowed at our events Sell set to members and give artists a portion of proceeds  What about proxies not in the PAC set? To discuss more and reconvene  Casual environment – no issue Tournaments – up to TO Do you need to own the card to use the proxy? Limit on how many can be used Don’t want to see fully proxied decks with cards that are not easily…

Convocation 6  (Meets) November 12, 2020 Attendees: Beasts of the Bay (Mith) Deep Spawners (Brian) Desert Twisters (Justin) Emerald Trolls (Shawn) Fallen Angels (Brian) Horde (Aaron) Clerk (Jeremy) Topic 1: City in a Bottle Trolls – generally cool with how it is. Can be annoying at times, but not too crazy (counterbalance dibs and arabian aggro) FA – same as above. More of an annoying card, but nothing egregious to make a change Twister – Good with leaving as is – no problems with the card Spawners – 1-2 people interested in restricting, but the last few major tournaments the top decks had a lot of AN cards, juzams, etc.…

Pacific Old School Council Convocation 5  (Meet) June 11, 2020 Attendees: Beasts of the Bay (Mith) Deep Spawners (Brian) Desert Twisters (Justin) Emerald Trolls (Shawn) Fallen Angels (Brian) Horde (Aaron) Clerk (Jeremy) Topic #1: WOTC Banning of Old School Cards Trolls: Potentially some appetite to ban Invoke Prejudice… other cards maybe not, but Gypsies and Cleanse. But what about future bans? Concern about evaluating other cards that Wizards bans in the future. Possibly just ban the art and not necessarily the cards Twisters: Unequivocal “No Ban”. The cards aren’t the issue (same as last week). Overall the members feel like we’re creating a issue and there is a slippery slope…

Pacific Old School Council Convocation 4  (Hangouts) March 4, 2020 Attendees: Horde (Aaron) Deep Spawners (Brian) Emerald Trolls (Shawn) Beasts of the Bay (Mith) Clerk (Jeremy) Group Updates: Beasts: chalice went well. Looking to book the same place again next year. Group wants to revisit Shahrazad Spawners: on the radar – wanted to discuss ways to deal with no ties, specifically Divine Intervention. How to handle specifically what happens in case of tie. Do you go to orb flips for each game? Then for the match? You can build a deck to stall and playing to tie just to force orb flips Keep this as an observation to see if…

Pacific Old School Council Convocation 3 Attended by: Horde (Aaron)Deep Spawners (Brian)Desert Twisters (Justin)Emerald Trolls (Shawn)Beasts of the Bay (Mith)Clerk (Jeremy) Topic 1: Banning Players Should we change by-laws to unanimous bans to reflect total conference position? Trolls: Motion to change it from absolute majority to unanimous or remove it completely from by-laws and leave it individual by group Vote conducted to limit PAC to coordination of individual group ban lists and not maintain a ban list as a conference.
