CHIT CHAT CHALLENGE (WORLD) CHAMPIONSHIP!

 

PREPARE FOR A REAL BLOODBATH OF TRUE 

OLD SCHOOL MAGIC THE GATHERING TITANS!

ITS FIRST TIME ANNOUNCED PUBLICLY!

The Chit Chat Challenge is an invitation-only, underground world championship for players of Old School 93-94 Magic: The Gathering, held once per year at a secret location. Known only to a tight-knit circle of Magic veterans and serious collectors, the event is as much a ritual as it is a competition — a homage to the origins of Magic, where skill, bluffing, and nostalgia collide. First held in 2000, the Chit Chat Challenge began as a private gathering of Magic veterans — former Pro Tour players, early collectors, and those who had never stopped playing with Alpha through fallen empires. Over the years, it grew into a full-fledged invitational with its own mythos, whispered about in old forums, collector Discords, and at GP afterparties. Its location rotates yearly, with venues ranging from candle-lit wine cellars in Vienna to dusty libraries in the Midwest. Attendance is limited to 8 players, all personally invited by the previous year’s top four.

WELCOM TO THE INFORMATIONAL PAGE

OF THE CHIT CHAT CHALLENGE (WORLD) CHAMPIONSHIP or (CCCC) XXV (2025)!!!!!!!

Anywho... Invitations are currently being sent out, but don't hold your breath! Only REAL titans of the Old School Community will receive an invite to this massacre!

THE CURRENT ATTENDEE LIST:

1. Chris "Swapmeet" G.

BIO: The prince of darkness, the bat-man himself. Have you ever been awoken by something stiff in your pocket, only to reach in and grab it realizing it's a copy of Vampire Bats?  That's because this legend stuck it in there when you weren't looking. Chris is a legend, from his grimy sidewalk deck pics, to his sleeveless Juzams, he is a force to be reckoned with.

DISQUALIFIED!!!!!

NO COLBYS!!!!!

2. Cody "No Colbys" Colby 

Colby likes to force his opponents to fall asleep with infinite stories of conquest in the realm of Shananananandalaaraharazad. With unmatched prowess, he wields the ability, not to out-think, but to out-Colby his foes. Each draw step with Colby packs more suspense that 3 Hitchcock films rolled into one. What is it? What did he draw? It could be anything! That's for Colby to know and for you to get forked. COLBY SUX!

2. Parker "The Wild One" Cause

Parker, often seen with a band of bloodthirsty biker hooligans, is a real bruiser. He will run your ass over in the first game, turn around, and do it again in the second. He has a pension for tension, and a need for speed. Don't mess with Parker, or you'll be parking in a 

handicap spot the rest of your life.

3. Jordan "Harambelover69" Reforged

Jordan is a stone cold killer with the heart of the cards and the spirit of the Pharaoh (whatever that means) on his side. Though quiet, Jordan is scarier than a Mind Twist for 7, and sharper than a wall of swords. He will finish you off faster than his morning Dunkin iced FROZEN coffee ( The only thing iced is the blood in his veins). A masterful player, and a thoughtful collector Joran will have your arms weak when he passes you his quintuple sleeved deck to cut! Don't think you'll make it past him easily, Jordan is a master, and he plans to catch'em all.

4. Nick "THE Eureka Shivan" Theeurekashivan

EUREKA! Nick S. is a true wizard, when folks see his summer hurricane sleeves they often run in terror! He'll drop a dragon on you and beat you until you're black and blue, then red blast you. This Goblin Hero and Mobstercon champion is a force to be reckoned with and he will make you green with envy.

5. Darin "I'm sure he has a last name" Darin!

Darin is a "master" The Deck player, and wasp (bee?) aficionado. He has absolutely traumatized new players with mirror universe, but in the end, he assures us its for their own good. Watch out for Darin's devilish deeds! He knows when to hold'em, and knows when to folde'm, but YOU need to know when to walk away or run!

6. Antonio "The Lion Tamer" B.

Antonio "The Lion Tamer" B. may not have the trophies, but in the annals of Magic history, he’s certainly... annotated. When not misplaying at low velocity, Antonio can be found giving unsolicited cat advice, sleeving his deck upside down, or attempting to trade for Chaos Orb by offering “emotional value.” Despite his groundbreaking accomplishment of placing dead last at the 2nd annual Sylex Slam—a feat no one has dared to replicate with such flair—Antonio has remained an integral figure in the Old School community.

 

7. Matt “Moneybags” Soriii 

He didn’t build his deck – he acquired it via a series of high-stakes auctions, shady backroom binder deals, and at least one offshore transaction involving graded Alpha duals and a signed Richard Garfield headshot. Known for showing up to 93/94 events in a full suit made of shredded mox fibres, Soriii made his fortune flipping bulk Ironclaw Orcs into a diversified portfolio of Power Nine and tax-exempt reserve list bonds. Legend has it, he once played a Chaos Orb made entirely of diamonds. When asked about his playstyle, Soriii simply replies: “I don’t bluff. I buy.” He owns three complete Alpha sets – one to play, one to loan out, and one hermetically sealed inside a Fabergé egg. Known for calling a judge over to appraise the value of his board state before declaring victory with the battlecry: “I don’t tap mana – I liquidate assets!”

8. Mike "Mindtwisted" Mikey

Nobody knows where he came from. Some say he shuffled into existence during the Great Mana Burn of '94. Others claim he’s a hallucination caused by prolonged exposure to Howling Mine. What we do know is this:

-He once played an entire match without speaking a word, just ominous eye contact and flicking his Feldon's Cane.

-His deck is 51% disruption, 48% misdirection, and 110% psychological warfare.

-Has legally changed his middle name to "X" (for X=2, obviously).

-Carries a signed Mind Twist in a bulletproof, mana-proof sleeve. It’s unclear if it's a card or an arcane talisman.

-Rumor has it he beat an opponent in 3 turns—before the opponent sat down.

-Claims he once bluffed a Black Lotus into existence using only a Sharpie and eye contact. It worked.

Mike doesn’t netdeck. He dreams his lists during thunderstorms.

Tournament Organizer:

Nick "Joven" C.

"A weirdo with a strange and unwavering love for the card Joven. A collector of only damaged cards, Nick believes mint condition cardboard is for cowards and hedge fund managers. His prized damaged possessions include: An Alpha Word of Command that survived a house fire, California Wildfire City of Brasses, a Guardian Beast with "Chang Sux!" written on it, a broken leather belt, and many more. As a tournament organizer, Nick has hosted legendary events such as:

"Halloween Spooktaculars 1-III"

“DamagedCon” 

(Cards must be unsleeved and stored in used sandwich bags),

"Sylex Slam I-II" 

“The Bayou Bodega Brawl” 

(held in the back of a mexican convenience store during a thunderstorm)

"DECKMASTER AB40 World Champs"

"WarpsterCon"

“The Chaos Orb Flip ‘n Sip” 

(where each miss costs you a sip of warm Yoo-hoo).

"Time Warp Holiday Special"

and many more...

Players from across the globe flock to his events, not for the prizes, but for the vibes — and because Nick once promised to legally marry anyone who won with a deck that included both Raging River and Wood Elemental. (No one’s succeeded. Yet.) Though he’s never played with a card graded higher than “structurally questionable,” Nick “Joven” C. is a legend not just in New Jersey, but in the hearts of all who believe that Old School is a state of mind, and sleeves are optional if you believe in yourself."

*SPECIAL CALL-IN GUEST CHALLENGERS*

Noah "Commissioner Littlefoot" GH

This Bracket Bash bruiser is a force to be reckoned with! A towering figure in the Magic: The Gathering scene—figuratively, of course. Noah earned the nickname "Littlefoot" not because of his shoe size, but due to a tragic childhood misunderstanding involving a dinosaur documentary, a trampoline, and an overambitious jump. Equal parts ringmaster and rules wrangler, he’s hosted events that have included everything from themed costume rounds to impromptu pie-eating tiebreakers (still under appeal by the DCI). He runs events with the fairness of Solomon and the sarcasm of a Reddit comment thread.
