(+) Yeah! (+)

Is my tag not on the wiki? I see how it is...

i signed up

in the second post even
---

So what tournament style are we doing? Single elim? Double? Swiss? (Probably not Swiss)
---

up.
---

Oh, I thought FFD was just pointing to the wiki for some reason >_>

So theres 14 so far. (13 if you dont want Ulti to play I dont blame you his behavior has been awful in the topic) I would like there to be two more at least! I was thinking randomized groups (someone unbiased can help me out maybe Maria) and then something like

1 vs 2
3 vs 4
Winner of the first vs winner of second
Loser of the first vs loser of the second
Loser of the third vs winner of the fourth

And then top 8 is just a straight tournament

A1 vs B2
C1 vs D2
B1 vs A2
D1 vs D2

And so forth
---

I'll play unless it's gonna be Nov 15 - 22 as I'll be in Nicaragua for the week
---

Was it ever decided if we need 3 decks or 4?
---

give me the player list and what size groups you want and I'll randomize them

We'll do 3 unless both players playing agree to do 4 I think

It's the only thing I can think of to help those with small collections out
---

We need 1-2 more!
---

What the heck, sign me up.

First, each person picks 3 decks (A, B, C).

The first game is done blind pick from among the 3 decks. Whenever a player wins, the deck that player used is retired for the rest of the match. Whoever retires all of their decks first wins.

Example:

P1 (A) vs. P2 (B)

Assume P1 wins the first game. His (A) deck is now retired, and he can only pick deck (B) or (C) for the rest of the match. P2, of course, can still switch between any of his decks, and the next game is blind pick again.

If P1 wins again with his (B) deck, all the rest of his matches will use the (C) deck. Once (C) wins, he takes the whole match.

CoolCly @CoolCly I need your battle tag (Although it seems like this may be running through Nov. 15th at this rate)

UltimaterializerX - Ulti#11586 (If anyone is uncomfortable about playing with Ulti, please PM me about it, still pondering whether he should be allowed in.)
---

I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be allowed.

Might as well let him complain that he got screwed by RNG than complain that he wasn't allowed to get screwed by RNG.
---

If there are only three decks there probably wont be bans
---

Cly#1425

Has this started btw.

I have pretty old decks. If you need fodder I could play I guess. Like pretty much all my stuff is from the base set and the second set.
---

bump

Have the tournament right after the expansion hits so everyone can cold run the new cards before anyone knows what's good.

That actually seems like a great idea. Meta is more fun in the first week or so when people are experimenting anyways.
---

Conflicted cause waiting til expansion hurts those with lesser collections even more
---

i wont be buying cards in expansions anymore so im not crazy about that idea

i mean you can if you want but i for one wont have new cards
---

i mean.

we could do one now, and one in a month when the expansion comes out.

just sayin'.
---

Sooner is better than later.
---

Look if you guys want to do it now or later please let me know
---

I've never *bought* cards. My account is still F2P.

Of course, it does mean I have to log in at least every three days to complete my daily quests, and sometimes that is tedious.
---

Lets start this weekend?

Where is bracket?!
---

Tempting, but I'm gonna pass. With the current meta, it'll be priest/rogue/druid everywhere. Not exactly thrilling.
---

This is just a B8 tournament, I think things will be a little more fun.
---

i vote now because it'll be more fun if it's before kobolds
---

Better sooner than later, if we wait until after the expansion drops, it's not going to happen for another month, at least.
---

LEt's get a bracket yo
---

Tomorrow.

Was just about to say.

I guess it's cause dragons are pretty cool.
