Additionally, Standard Silverblack Wednesdays matches have the following rules:
Pairings will be found on your Player Cp page on gatherling.com
Tables are created in the Casual Play -> Anything Goes room. Either player in the pairing can make the table.
Tables must be made using the Standard filter, "best 2 out of 3", Watchable, and labeled "Standard Silverblack Wednesdays Round #".
If your opponent doesn't join your table, PM them after 2 minutes and PM the host after 5. A match loss is given after 10 minutes of no-show.
The deck used for round 1 must be used for the entire tournament. Modifications will result in disqualification and banning.
After each round, results must be submitted on your Player CP. If you look under Active Matches there will be a "Report Result" link for each active match. Similarly, if you wish to drop, please do so on your Player CP page.
Chatting in the channel is welcome except when the host is making announcements.
All players are expected to post their decklist to Gatherling.
Players who have not entered a deck list by the time the event starts will be dropped from the event.
Bad sportsmanship or other rules violations may result in match loss, disqualification, suspension, or banning. Offense and punishment will be decided at the host's discretion. That said, we have a great group of people, and this almost never comes up
Shifting Shadows: Please uncheck Khans of Tarkir and Fate Reforged from permitted sets. Those non-standard legal sets are still being accepted by the deck editor.
I think it's great there's different sets allowed in #1 #2 and #3. It's like a different format each week. Time to get those creative juices flowing!
I did receive the email about Modern Silverblack Thu June 23rd but if it is occurring, the correct filters aren't being applied. I tried to re-submit the deck I used for #1.01 and 3/4 of the cards were rejected.

I haven't played mtgo for a while for too little money reasons. But this format seems pretty cheap.
