WHERE: /join SilverBlack
WHEN: Games start at 3:00pm EST (20:00 UTC). You can pre-reg any time before at Gatherling.com. If you need help pm me or ask someone the day of the event before the event begins.

Failure to enter a decklist will result in your being dropped from the event.
Hello some of you may know me from when I hosted legacy silverblack or from me playing in Standard silverblack, Modern SB, Legacy SB, and Heirloom events. I personally greatly miss modern silerblack events and still having the ability to host events on silverblack I figured I would use that to start a free tournament series. However I also want to try an experiment with ban lists and format development. We will begin the season with only skullclamp on the ban list. Yes, I do realize that leaves a lot of really powerful cards, but every season the ban list will be updated and refined (5 weeks). The updates will be primarily a judgement call on my part but I will most certianly listen to any input or thoughts. Because I have been unable to get in contact with Naibock about sponsorship for now it will be unsponsored because of that there is no prize support outside of me actually giving occasional goodies out. However, if anyone wishes to donate, I can make it such that there will be prizes either event or season based.
Rules:
Decks must be at least 60 cards with an optional 15 card sideboard. All commons and uncommons from 8th Edition / Mirrodin forward are legal with the exception of those on the ban list, note this is a unique banlist not the modern one. If your deck contains illegal cards in the first round you will receive a match loss and be allowed to replace the illegal cards with basic lands for the following rounds. If illegal cards are found to be in your deck in the following rounds you may be dropped or allowed to continue per the host's discretion. Gatherling validates decks so make sure it doesn't show any errors after you enter your deck and you should be good to go.
The following cards are banned:
- Skullclamp
All Timeshifted cards are not legal because no common/uncommon printing exists in a modern legal set except for Dragon Whelp.
Cost and Prizes:
This is a free to enter tournament.
Prizes consist of nothing for now sadly
I will however do my best to provide door prizes and an end of the season prize (5 events).
Event Details
Event will be three-four rounds of swiss.
Matches are set to Legacy (due to banlist differences), best 2/3, and should be labeled SilverBlack Round X.
They should also be set to 30 minutes per player per match and watchable.
All matches should take place in the Casual Play > Anything Goes room.
If a player doesn't join and start the match within 10 minutes of the pairing announcement, the player is awarded a match loss. The player failing to join their match will also be dropped from the tournament unless they contact the host stating intentions to continue.
Intentional draws are not allowed.
The deck you start the tournament with is the deck you play the whole tournament with. No editing your deck between rounds.
All results and drops should be reported to your player control panel in gatherling.
Season Points
Season points are awarded as follows:
1 Points for participating (requires decklist be posted and at least 1 round played)
3 Points for each match win
1 Point for each match loss
If you have any questions just ask. Otherwise get your decks ready, grab some friends, and show up!
Depending on interest this could start as soon as two weeks from now the 24th of February
