Just when you thought it would never happen!

This is, assuming it even gets underway, going to be a test tournament (Mike wants to run a Daft Tourny) to see the rough amount of interest available.

Due to the not particularly hueg amount of interest we (being mike and me) expect, we has a format that'll cater to this, which I'll post once we have some sign ups.

Also yeah I wont fuck this up like the pokemon one 'cause a) I wont throw in nonsensical rules and b) mikes helping >_>

Also link to the program we're using: Magic WorkStation

~ROUND ONE~

Match One
SpinballWizard Vs Stefan (2 - 1)

Match Two
RPG Vs Mike (0 - 2)

Match Three
SDM Vs egg (0 - 2)

Match Four
Sondow Vs ~~Sephgara's~~ RPG's brother (0 - 2)

Count me in.

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #2 on:** November 28, 2007, 09:29:29 pm »

Oh you bet I'll go. All of you are going down!

Also he mentioned Sealed to me, not draft. >_>

Edit: To the uninformed, these sets are legal in Extended currently: Invasion, Planeshift, Apocalypse, Odyssey, Torment, Judgment, Onslaught, Legions, Scourge, Mirrodin, Darksteel, Fifth Dawn, Champions of Kamigawa, Betrayers of Kamigawa, Saviors of Kamigawa, Ravnica: City of Guilds, Guildpact, Dissension, Coldsnap, Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, Future Sight, Lorwyn, 7th Edition, 8th Edition, 9th Edition, and 10th Edition. You may use cards from older sets provided they were reprinted in one of the above - however, if you do, Magic WorkStation will not recognise it as an Extended card. Use the newest version of all cards.

Decks must contain 60 cards minimum. If you have a sideboard (used to swap cards in and out of your deck between (CORRECTION) games in a match in case you have a really bad matchup), it must contain EXACTLY fifteen (15) cards. Your deck must return to its original form when you begin a new match. (MWS has a button for this I do believe.)

B& cards in Extended are: AEther Vial (Darksteel), Disciple of the Vault (Mirrodin), Entomb (Odyssey), and Skullclamp (Darksteel). You can't use B& cards in your decks.

I'm in. I just need to go through the other extended sets to find more awesome cards for my cleric deck.

Also a note on the format which RPG is describing. Those of you who have actually played in Magic tourneys will be familiar with this, so I'm looking to you (particularly SBW) for some clarifications.

The first round is determined randomly. You play the first round and the results are collected. After this, your second round opponents are determined; you play your nearest opponent, but you can't have played them already.

The table has a win-loss ratio and three tiebreaker conditions. SBW informs me that they are the following: Opponents' Match Win % -> Player Match Win % -> Player Game Win %

SBW: Actually typically DCI tournaments go by points, 3 for a match win and 1 for a match draw. >_> PS Those tiebreakers are in order of most important -> least important

Fuck the example it'll make sense later >_>

Also woo, 1337th post. X)

Spinny the deck Ill be using is listed as "Extended" by MWS when I load it up to play with it, so am I right to assume its legal? >_>

It has none of the b& cards you listed

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #5 on:** November 29, 2007, 11:20:23 am »

Check your sets just to make sure, but if it's like my MWS it defaults to extended-legal sets.

Also we needs moar people. Right now it's:
Myself
RPG
Mike
Egg

That's like... not even a real tournament lol.

Bilan · « **Reply #6 on:** November 29, 2007, 11:45:22 am »

Apparently MWS was calling my deck Extended legal when it wasnt, I've now fixed it at the expense of some of my awesome cards :(

Selphos · « **Reply #7 on:** December 02, 2007, 08:27:54 pm »

I'm in, damn you all for uninforming me of this.

eggFL · « **Reply #8 on:** December 02, 2007, 08:39:36 pm »

Great to have you on board.

I look forward to owning Spinballwizard and would be disappointed if this doesn't take off.

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #9 on:** December 02, 2007, 09:25:54 pm »

Hm I wonder if I should enter with my Standard deck... >_>

Oh and you're on egg. >:O!!!

Stefan · « **Reply #10 on:** December 03, 2007, 12:07:27 am »

hmm if you did that, I'd have to as well.

And if you're thinking of handicapping yourself, think about instead posting the deck you're gonna use.

While I'm at it, post your standard deck anyway. Let's see just what it is you do.

DECKS AT THE READY

One of my RL friends offered to play, as did his brother, giving us 8 players, which is enough for a mini tourny!

Ive assigned Round 1 opponents at random seeing as Mike isnt here~

~ROUND ONE~

Match One
SpinballWizard Vs Stefan

Match Two
RPG Vs Mike

Match Three
Sephgara Vs egg

Match Four
Sondow Vs Sephgara's brother

Well Im boned more than likely.

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2007, 09:56:17 pm »

1. I don't think I've played Stefan yet. :o
Though considering he learned from you RPG...

2. RPG you were boned by the time I signed up. >_>

3. Now just to finish my deck for the tourney. (Which I'll do probably Tuesday. Tomorrow I have work and am working on my report for the rest of the night, however long it takes.)

4. Egg as for the standard deck I'd rather just play it against you. It's beaten almost everyone else here.

Stefan · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2007, 10:15:32 pm »

oh this is unfair. captain noob vs the magic pro. this is unfair.

So like... I guess I will meet you guys in chat sometime and hopefully this Sephgara fellow (whoever he is) might be there.

Also I have to reinstall Magic Workstation since my hard drive broke, remember?. Even though I had it on the good hard drive, I still have to reinstall it anyway because the registry data is bad or something and it won't work. (Interesting concept.) So yea.. I'll do that sometime.

Bilan · « **Reply #17 on:** December 10, 2007, 10:10:32 am »

egg if you nip into chat sometime, I'll get Sephgara to join too assuming hes online, similarly for his bro for Sondow

Needs more trademark "I CALL BS!"

yse · « **Reply #19 on:** December 10, 2007, 11:43:20 pm »

mike89 2 - 0 RPG

Shock.

Round 1: I was up 20-18 when the game crapped out. I had three 2/2s to nothing of his and he had multiple consecutive land draws, so conceded this game. Good man, that RPG.

Round 2: A token creator from RPG made things interesting, but I turned the game with an Infest. Ended up winning quite easily again, 15-0 or so.

Selphos · « **Reply #20 on:** December 10, 2007, 11:45:43 pm »

Who the hell is this Sephgara anyway?

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #21 on:** December 11, 2007, 01:02:52 am »

RPG's RL friend person.

Me vs. Stefan ho!

Game 1
I mulligan to 5. Long story short my combo goes off. Stefan gets a creature down but he can't stop 30 3/3's. (You'll see if/when you face me, or you can ask Stefan. Egg probably has an idea anyways.)

SBW 1
Stefan 0

Game 2
I mulligan to 5 again. I get 2 creatures down, which means I can't set off my combo and Stefan... played lots of dudes. That got BIGGER! </local game store injoke. say 'bigger' very high pitched like>

Oh and when I could've blocked with 2 creatures he happened to draw Pacifism. >_>

SBW 1
Stefan 1

Holy shit, we're going to game 3!?

Game 3
I actually keep my opening hand (which is rare with the deck I'm playing), and just start ridiculously. The only thing that prevents me from winning sooner is the lack of a Flame-Kin Zealot (now savvy players know what I'm playing) in my graveyard, which I finally get with 5 cards left (after my draw). Had he been in my bottom 5, I'd have been boned because he had 5 guys and I was at low life. But I managed to go off just in time.

FINAL RESULT
SBW 2
Stefan 1

eggFL · « **Reply #22 on:** December 11, 2007, 01:35:50 am »

I'm a little fuzzy on this but I think I know what you're playing. Especially if it's a standard deck.

Anyway I installed MWS.

Unfortunately that means that for the time being it's no longer registered. (I bought it 2-3 years ago) I won't be able to find my registration code for a while so I guess I won't be able to show off an avatar or anything. >_>

Well I'm all set. Unless I have to use a standard deck against SBW. Because I don't know the cards from Lorwyn. But this is an extended tourney so I will just stick with an extended deck, no shenanigans.

I will be seen in IRC.

Stefan · « **Reply #23 on:** December 11, 2007, 08:14:13 am »

For the record, I'd been holding that pacifism since about hand two.

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #24 on:** December 11, 2007, 09:55:45 am »

Nah I decided not to use the standard deck. This one's definitely Extended. (Flame-Kin Zealot isn't exactly Standard-legal anymore.)

Bilan · « **Reply #25 on:** December 11, 2007, 12:27:48 pm »

I should probably mention Sephgara's bro dropped out and my own bro (a real one, not mike or thorn!) is playing in his stead.

Selphos · « **Reply #26 on:** December 13, 2007, 12:02:54 am »

Tell your bro to gtfi sometime tomorrow. >_>

Preferably between the hours of 5 and 8 PST

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #27 on:** December 13, 2007, 01:55:08 am »

That might happen if AJ had the same sleep schedule as RPG. >_> (ps that's 1-4am GMT if I did my math right.Since I convert that to EST -- 8-11 -- and then to GMT (EST+5))

ps RPG: Mike's already in the tourney so if he were in again that'd be... yeah. <_<

Selphos · « **Reply #28 on:** December 15, 2007, 06:06:11 pm »

Dammit, thanks to my brother's shenanigans, he uninstalled MWS, everything but the pics (which is one hell of a stupid idea), to install Fly For Fun i.e. Flyff i.e. Failure.

Ironically, the installer couldn't even initialize. So now, I've reinstalled MWS, with no customs or Lorwyns with it. So now I have to repack the lorwyns, think up some new custom decks, then I can play.

Bilan · « **Reply #29 on:** December 16, 2007, 06:14:56 pm »

Sondow just played my bro.

I should've wrote down what happened but he was impatient so I didnt get chance~

Sondow 0 - 2 My bro
