Hi everyone. Posting this here for anyone who's interested in playing in the 2018 DnT championships
Rules:
-The tournament will be double knockout. If people really don't like this idea we can change it to swiss before the first round.
- Matches are first to 2 wins (best 2 of 3)
-Submit your deck list along with a deck code by DM to me on discord, or as a pm on mtgsalvation.
-Deck submissions will be open from November 2nd to November 16th, at which point all lists will be made public.
-The first round will begin on Nov 19. You will have two weeks to play the match and submit results, if all matches are completed before 2 weeks we will start the next one early.
-At a minimum your main deck must include the following cards, everything else must follow the modern format rules:
2 Plains
4 Ghost quarter
4 Aether Vail
4 Path to exile
4 Thalia Guardian of Thraben
4 Leonin Arbiter
4 Flickerwisp
Prizes are the bragging rights of being the best DNT pilot of 2018. If we get at least 10 people I will look into getting an additional prize to ship to the winner.
@crazy: if you like heartbeat of spring you should probably play 4 of it and 2 dictates. Dictate is the better choice if your trying to avoided giving your opponents a turn with double mana.
This new snapcaater instant looks sweet. I'll definitely play 4 in my list and see how that ends up.
I'd probably start testing decks with something like this. No idea if it would be better to play main deck Stony or RIP, my first guess would be RIP. The other option would be to play the stoneforge package main deck with swords and Prophetic Flamespeakers
Then I'd probably be looking at playing 4 chrome mox, 4 SSG and caverns to get a turn one Thalia, Bryn wingmare or thorn of amythist into play. That seems better than trying to play a fair version of the current modern deck with stoneforge in it.
Even though I'm not one of the opponents who has been quoted or exposed on a screenshot in this thread, I can understand the frustration of having to play against the same deck archetype over and over again.
There's a difference between leaving a match because you don't want to play against your opponents deck and flaming your opponent in chat before abruptly quitting.
For instance 4 Magus of the Moon are just worse for us then 8-10 LD lands. Harsh Mentor would be great against affinity and devoted druid combo but not sure it would be more effective then big Thalia or wasteland strangler. The Nalaars are also just worse then lingering souls in most cases so would be better in my opinion to just run Catmix's lingering taxes list.
Dont play 4 Magus, don't play Alesha, don't play simian spirit guide. Everyone does that in their red lists and its no good. Harsh mentor is better than ThaliaHC vs. affinity and druid combo. P&K and lingering souls aren't super comparable beyond the fact that they make 2 1/1 flying creatures.

WOTC has no choice now that the ritual is complete.
