MTG Salvation

Yeah, this is gonna be awesome. You can count me in. Gonna start working on a deck asap. I have a few things in mind...

Updated with a Co-host.

reminder guys, I need at least 16 people to make this thing worth running, and theres only 5 more days til the deadline. Please be ready soon!

I'm hopeful will hit the mark, but if we don't I'll have to push it back. I hope not.

Could it be run with less that 16, say 8 people?
I'm planning on playing but am worried that I will have to drop due to last minute work stuff.

I wish I could play but that is 3 in the morning where I'm from. I will say that I'm almost 95% sure that either dredge will run amok, or that some variation on abzan is probably the best deck. GSZ + SFM + BG shell seems like a beating. Alternatively maybe one of those kiki chord decks with SFM. TO be perfectly honest tho eldrazi will still probably end up on top if anyone plays it rather than trying to brew.

@Lantern, due to work (they moved the deadline forward :/ ) I will have no time at all

I would have played 4c Counter Cat with GSZ so something like the PT Philly version (with adjustments due to the metagame changes).

Greetings,
Kathal

I would have participated too, but can't due to time difference:/
I really hope you can get this going, as I would definetely watch the games I could!

It all very much depends on the turn out. Well see.


I could "probably do it" at 8 people

Hey Lantern,

Any idea on how long the event might take? I am interested but it starts at 3am my time so it would be tough to time correctly for myself. Alternatively if you get the 16 you need I would be happy to judge/cohost if needed.

4 rounds, 50 minutes, then top 4/8 elem, so 6 hourish.

I'll be submitting a list sometime tomorrow after I have it finalized. I'll have to figure out Cockatrice before the tournament though, since I mostly just play on XMage.

I'll try and get cocatrice working, if so I can play!

This is gonna be awesome to help Co-Host I'm excited!

Well, crap. I was going to be submitting a list tomorrow, but now I've been called in to work on Saturday. I'll see what I can do, but chances are I can't join in this time around. If it becomes a regular thing though, I'll definitely be in.

Also, maybe give XMage a go for future tournaments. All rules are automated, so there's no chance of cheating. There's a chance you can misclick and lose, but if you're paying attention it doesn't happen.

Managed to get the weekend off. Will be submitting a deck later today.

is it too late for this?

Nope, just do the stuff quoted below by the 25th.

How do I enter?
Message me your deck Hash and archetype. Once you do this, you are entered and can not change your deck.

If you top 8 message me the decklist before the start of the round.

Deadline: Feb 25th.

You also must have a cockatrice user name that matches your mtgsalvation one. No exceptions.

Wish i could play but it'll be 3am here when this kicks off
Really looking forward to what the results are

reminder tomorrow is the due date! Remember to get those codes to me!

I would like to join.

Deckcode (Hash): qj1mgifm
Username on Cockatrice: NilsH

@Lantern: Can you change my username to NilsH? I'm using NilsH on all other accounts/forums online, so I prefer change my username at salvation to be consistent.

Wont be able to make it unfortunately, family planned stuff for saturday night Ah well, interested in hearing results though.

Use this thread. The higher ups will do it for you.

And guys send me those hashes! I still need at least 3 more to make this happen!

We didnt make it this go around. So we'll have to try again. I've heard the overwhelming thing people say was it was too early, so well do it sat 3/12/16 (2 weeks from now) at 2pm-9 pm (cut to top 4). That SHOULD be a good middle ground for everyone.


If you wish to keep the same deck, let me know, I'll be wiping the slate clean again.

I'll have to see if I can play when it gets closer to that date. I'll be home with family over Spring Break and that means I may be busy. I'll try and message you at least a few days in advance.

I wish I could but that's the weekend going into my finals week. So I have obligations. I could do the next weekend.

You should really do this tournament with the banlist eliminated altogether as per this thread http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/modern/676853-modern-with-no-ban-list-tournament?page=2 .

I honestly think it would end up being a fairly balanced format if the banlist went away altogether. It would open up so many more strategies than just unbanning 5 cards arbitrarily, and a no ban list modern tourney would generate a ton more interest.

It would also help establish which cards definitely belong on the ban list, and which cards might be worth unbanning, so it would serve an important purpose for the format. I would absolutely play in a modern tournament with no banlist though I'm not sure what deck would be best, and I am sure there are many many others who would love to try out a tournament like that as well.
