This thread is here mainly to gauge how many people are interested enough in a game of Flamingo Shui to sign up. For those who don't know what Flamingo Shui is, a link to the last game of Flamingo Shui can be found here. Last time I was unable to complete the game due to IRL reasons, but this time around I've got no major events coming up, so I'll be able to complete it for sure.
Unlike the last round, however, we're doing it with a twist this time. As you sign up, choose an existing legendary creature from BNG or earlier as your commander for all of the challenges this game. You can only choose your commander once, so choose wisely! Here are some things to keep in mind while making your choice:
You're only allowed to design cards with color identities of your commander.
Because of that, commanders with more colors will receive a penalty, while commanders with fewer colors will receive a bonus. Want a really hard challenge? Choose a colorless commander! You'll be rewarded handsomely for it.
Commanders with smaller mana costs will receive a bonus. Commanders with a converted mana cost of 4 or less will receive a bonus, commanders with converted mana costs 5 or 6 will receive no penalty, and commanders with a converted mana cost of 7 or more will have a slight penalty.
For all you four-color lovers out there, the Nephilim cycle from Dissension will be allowed as commanders in spite of their not being legendary. For the challenges, we'll "errata" them to be legendary in case of cards that care about that.
I reserve the right to veto commanders if they're too powerful or degenerate, or lead to awkward rules scenarios. Having said that, I'm going to try to be as lenient as possible when it comes to this.
If multiple people want to use the same commander, I'll allow it, but if there are two or three other people who already have your commander I'm going to suggest you find a different one.
For those unfamiliar with Commander, the rules to the game can be found here.
So having said that, come on and sign up! If you have any questions about Into the Web of War or Flamingo Shui in general, feel free to post them here. Round 1 will be up soon enough. Lastly, in case it comes to that, I'm going to set a limit to 32 participants to this game.
Rune-Tail would start on the battlefield in his normal state. If your life total is 30 or greater, his triggered ability will go on the stack once the game "starts".
