Except round 5 to be up TOMORROW!!!

Technically, it's tomorrow!

HoC: Hall of Fame:
Round 1 - Battlemaster
Round 2 - Oblivion
Round 3 - ThunderHog
Round 4 - ThunderHog
Round 5 - (Would you like to see your name here?)

***2/3 of your deck is what?!***

This one’s gonna be good... In this round, your deck is pretty much restricted to the use of a single card type. Two-thirds of your deck MUST be a single card type.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

***Banned List***
- AEther Vial
- Disciple of the Vault
- Entomb
- Skullclamp

Also included on the banned list for this round that can feasibly destroy multiple cards of a single type by itself. Some examples include, but are not limited to, Wrath of God/Damnation, Tranquility/Tempest of Light, Desolation Giant/Desolation Angel, Aura Shards/Tainted Aether, Call to the Grave/Porphyry Nodes, Aegis of Honor.

On top of that, cards that restrict a certain card-type are added to the restricted list for this round. Some example include, but are not limited to, Aura of Silence and AEther Flash.

Also note this: Tribal decks will PROBABLY be rejected. I may accept them if I see that there was much thought put into it being original, but a basic tribal deck will probably be rejected.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

***Alt-Win Cards*** (see rule #3)

-=-Card Types-=-
- - Sorcery - -
- - Instant - -
- - Enchantment - -
- - Creature - -
- - Land - -

Note: I’ve purposely left out artifact from that list because I have decided to disallow players from choosing artifact as their card type.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

***Rules***
1. You may only use cards which are legal in Extended play. (Invasion and up)
2. You may NOT use cards that are on this round’s banned list.
3. Your deck MUST be composed of at LEAST two-thirds of a single card-type. A 60-card deck must have at least 40 cards of your chosen type. Cards that have more than one type are acceptable, so long as one of those types is the one you’ve chosen. (I.E. A Tribal Sorcery is acceptable in a deck that uses Sorceries)
4. Any form of net-decking WILL be rejected. A net-deck will be determined by me.
5. Sideboards are still perfectly legal. Feel free to include a 15 card sideboard. 15 cards - no more, no less.
6. After sideboarding, your deck must STILL fit the 2/3 rule. For example: If you’ve chosen a creature deck, 2/3 of your deck must STILL be creatures after sideboarding.

NOTE: Rule number 6 is for THIS round only.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

***Game-Play***
- Games and winners will be decided EXACTLY like how tournament-style magic is. Players will be put into brackets at random (probably by dice rolls) and then decks will play one another. If there is an odd number of players, bye-rounds are likely possible.
- Winners will go best 2 out of 3. If/when you're deck loses, you're out.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

***Point System***
Point systems have been erased. From now on the winner’s name for a round will simply go on the hall of fame.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Submit your decks to me (ThunderHog), by PM. The deadline for deck submissions is Tuesday, December 18th, 2007. (Let's try to actually stick to the deadline this time - I'll try too. :D)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Any questions, feel free to post them in this thread.

Price of Glory, Teferi, Gaddock Tegg, and Dosan have all been added to the restricted list.

Weiirrddd...Oh well, I'm still in.

battlemaster
12-11-2007, 03:22 AM
Still allowed to have only four of each card? And sure I'm in.

DazBoot
12-11-2007, 06:29 AM
This will be an exciting one to come back for! I'm in!

AlasterEisaroh
12-11-2007, 08:40 AM
What about Erayo and the other Creature to Enchantment Heroes?

Do they count as either, or just as Creatures?

§cIoN
12-11-2007, 08:50 AM
I assume just creatures, they are creatures after all...until they become enchantments.

ThunderHog
12-11-2007, 09:41 AM
I'm glad this round is causing a lot of stir. I like that.

@ Alaster: If you really want to use them, count them as creatures. Good question though.

AlasterEisaroh
12-11-2007, 09:44 AM
I have to make sure on these things.

Devious little fox
12-11-2007, 10:22 AM
ok you can defiantly count me in.

AlasterEisaroh
12-11-2007, 10:32 AM
Lets try do get a deck focusing on each of the different card types.

I call...

:paranoid: like I'd tell you.

ThunderHog
12-11-2007, 11:03 AM
Possible participants: (people who said, "I'm in!")
1. Oblivion
2. Bobsterbeino
3. Battlemaster
4. Dazboot
5. Alaster
6. Wolverine

After counting me and Crono, that's 8. On top of that, I'm assuming Scion wants in. After seeing the decks, I may choose to sit out if I don't think my deck has a chance. OR we could try to gather some more people this time. Anyone wanna help with getting 16? I see that a number of you have posted it in your sig. For this I thank you.

If any of you are in clans, try to get a couple of your clansmen in here. And, if you just so happen to be a member of the KKK, hell bring some of them too. Lol. The more the merrier, right?

AlasterEisaroh
12-11-2007, 05:13 PM
Ah the KKK (Krazy Khicken Killers) how I loath them.

Bobsterbeino
12-11-2007, 05:17 PM
Everyone watch out...

I might get dragon to play again, but he says this round looks too sketchy for him.

Unggoy
12-11-2007, 05:41 PM
I Think im in if you can take me. It always seem that i have the basics of a deck layed out and i can never get it done, so im going to start now :D

§cIoN
12-11-2007, 06:09 PM
I'm in. :E:D

hmmm...so many choices. :D

AlasterEisaroh
12-11-2007, 07:34 PM
You're telling me, (what does that mean?) I have 5 creature based ideas, 2 enchantment based ideas, 2 land based ideas, 2 sorcery based ideas, and 1 instant based idea.

ThunderHog
12-11-2007, 11:52 PM
How do you guys think I feel??? I have to finalize my deck before I even release the round. Also, I would like to note this:

AFTER THIS ROUND, THERE IS GOING TO BE A BREAK FOR AWHILE WITH HOC WHILE I TAKE THAT TIME TO GATHER SOME MORE IDEAS. REMEMBER EVERYONE, I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOME NEW IDEAS. FEEL FREE TO PM ME AT ANYTIME WITH ANY IDEAS YOU MAY HAVE!!!

DazBoot

What about a round of 2 - 3 - 7 magic? It's not terribly innovative but it could keep this going while we all think of other ideas.

2 - 3 - 7 Magic is when you play with only converted mana costs of 2 - 3 - 7 in your deck. Or do you want the rounds to always be more creative?

ThunderHog
12-14-2007, 03:30 PM
Hmm... That's something I've never heard of. Perhaps I'll give it a try.

AlasterEisaroh
12-14-2007, 05:25 PM
We could have a round of Type 4 magic. I saw a link for it before if some one finds it, please post it.

Or we could have a round of Mental Magic (If this is ok with TH he'll post the link to the rules for it).

DazBoot
12-14-2007, 07:38 PM
Type 4 could be fun... But mental is just too much about the player that we lose by just submitting decks...

ThunderHog
12-15-2007, 12:15 AM
I'm afraid that I don't know what "type 4" is.

Also, I very much agree with Dazboot. Mental Magic is more about the person than it is the deck.

AlasterEisaroh
12-15-2007, 12:52 AM
I found it... Type 4 Overview that is.

https://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/feature/198

Type 4 is also know as Limited Infinity, but enough talk enjoy.

battlemaster
12-15-2007, 10:26 AM
I think you should ban CoP red/and all other CoP cause it will shut down all instants and sorcery decks.

ThunderHog
12-15-2007, 10:39 AM
Not a bad idea...

Circle of Protections have been banned, not that I think anyone was going to use them anyway, but ya never know.

battlemaster
12-15-2007, 11:42 AM
I would have gone enchantments for sure if they weren't banned

BurnBait
12-15-2007, 08:49 PM
Well, I'm in if you still have space.

Edit: How are you going to play the games? MWS?

AlasterEisaroh
12-15-2007, 09:53 PM
I would have gone enchantments for sure if they weren't banned

I designed an annoying little Enchantment deck without the CoP's it works ok.

ThunderHog
12-15-2007, 10:22 PM
Well, I'm in if you still have space.

Edit: How are you going to play the games? MWS?

Yes and yes.

Let's just hope we can get even more people. >.>

Is this still on? If so, I might get a peice of this action.:)

ThunderHog
12-16-2007, 08:47 AM
Does anybody ever read the intropage???

The deadline is Tuesday. I'm still hoping to keep it, but moving it HAS happened before so I don't see why I can't do it again. :D

Oblivion
12-16-2007, 10:00 PM
Hey man, check you Yahoo mail yo!

BurnBait
12-16-2007, 10:09 PM
I have a mac. I can't run MWS, sadly. I think that means I'm out... But I'll drop a decklist for someone else to play if you don't have enough peeps.

Bobsterbeino
12-16-2007, 10:14 PM
You don't play, You just submit the deck and Thunderhog and another player play all the decks.

BurnBait
12-16-2007, 10:24 PM
Ah, good. Aight then.

ThunderHog
12-16-2007, 11:21 PM
Important notice: Everyone, give a whole-hearty "thank you" to Streetz for giving us our own forum! Maybe now we'll attract some more attention and our game will get bigger!

Bobsterbeino

I'm game. Count me in.


Question 1: I normally build and play around a 24:60 land ratio Is it possible to run additional lands say 24 lands and 36 creatures or it firm that I must do 20 lands 40 creatures?

Question 2: Are cards like Pyroclasm on the restricted/banned list because they damage all creatures w/o outright destroying them?

1. - 2/3 of your deck must be of a single card type. If you're running a 60 card deck, then at least 40 of those cards must share a type. Same goes for if you want to go above 60. For example, let's say your deck has 93 cards. Then you'll have to have... *calculates* ... At least 62 of those cards be of the same type. Get my drift?

2. - Nah, I think pyroclasm is fine. There are quite a many creatures that can survive that and I think a card like that wouldn't cause too much panic.

ok if the deadline is friday then i will join.

await decklist on friday.

***SUBMISSIONS CLOSED***

The deadline is past and with a last minute entry (Unggoy), we have more than enough people to get a good round going. That said, the results thread will be opening up VERY soon.

Good luck to everyone!!!
