Format Rules
1) Your deck must have exactly 60 cards in it.
2) Pick 2 cards. Your deck can contain only those cards and basic lands. The 4 card limit does not apply.
3) Your deck cannot be capable of winning before each player has taken a full turn against an opponent that has a deck comprised of 60 grizzly bears. Why 60 grizzly bears? The goal is to prevent the most absurd fast decks like Chancellor of the Dross. Previous versions of this rule said, “Your deck can’t be capable of winning before each player has taken a full turn”, but some players cleverly abused that by killing themselves, forcing their opponents to ‘win’ early and therefore be disqualified. We’ve found this “against 60 grizzly bears” restriction solves both problems.
4) Wishes are banned.
Tournament Procedure
1) We pilot all submitted decks for the participants, then report the results. All decks are played against all other decks. They are ranked according to their overall win record.
2) Decks will be played going first and second against each opponent. If your deck wins only one of the two games, the decks will be rematched until one deck wins both games or until 10 total games are played. If 10 games are played this way the match is considered a draw.
3) The games are played with hands and decklists revealed. This makes it easier to determine the optimal play for each player, so your deck won’t get sabotaged by a less skilled pilot running it for you.
Deadline
Submit Your Decks by Sunday 7pm EST (PM me). We run them for you against all other decks and report the results..
