The Codex Magic: The Gathering Tournament thread

If you're planning to start this tournament somewhere in the next 7-10 days, then remove me from The List, because I won't be able to make it

You, sir, are a man who indeed lives up to his name.

Blue/Black control is probably my favourite archetype, but it's pretty awful in this format and not very fun to play against, since you'll never cast anything that matters. Countered, coutnered, countered, bounce that, discard, discard, you can play that... removal.

Meanwhile, ravenous rats attacks for 1 damage.

^ you sound emotionally engaged enough to want to try yourself in the tournament.

Anyways, playing the different decks made me want to try a different archetype as well :'(

Not because I lose because my deck has been performing solidly, but a deck built around flying blue creatures, disruption/counterspells and shadows looks so fun.

Come Friday, an entire week has passed. I should have most decks in by then.

Dropping out because im having too much fun making 60 decks



and I think i'd just get pwned by you pr0s anyways.

Id be interested in watching a couple of the games though, especially grunker/hero when they inevitably clash.

I'll be submitting mine by friday at the latest. Deck construction is taking me a while, but getting there.

So tired of reading cards. It never ends.

Same here, biuding the deck is taking way more than I expected.... I'll try looking into those pre-made lists to get the remaining cards.

Same here. Btw, stupid question: how do we submit our decks?

I'm planning to make a codex playground thread actually. Initially I'm hoping andrzej can "shoutcast" them, latorz I can do it myself. There is a "replay" function in cockatrice, how does one use it and how does one save it? It would be fair to require the winner to send the replays to me for validation.

RANDOMIZED BRACKETS ARE UP!

Darth Roxor is away on some kinda vacation and asked to be postponed until last, and when hodoo left as well I honestly know no way of putting him in the tournament. Barring new developments he is out.

Okay, too much work making a deck. I'm bad at this. I still want to play though. Is someone willing to share me one of their spares? I'd play with it, I don't expect to win anyway.

Bro, just do what I did. Choose 2 or 3 colors, 40 lands split between your colors, go to the gatherer website that has been postes before and filter them by your colours and by common rarity. Then arrange them by community feedback and choose those that you find interesting.

Just be mindful that the community is a bit retarded, they often give commons poor ratings comparing them to rares and things like that.

^ Indeed. But it will take some time, perhaps too much - so I'm thinking of ways to filter down the amounts of games covered. The cockatrice replay client being underwhelming doesn't help (herp my derp, it has some kinda real-time replay mode for this turn-based game. Making a summary of what happened each turn wasn't good enough oh no)

One way is to make the thread in playground now, make a vote on "who will win" and cover the crowd favourites early on. As a supplement, those pairs who wishes to write some coverage of their own match can chime in. Then we keep it minimal by only covering the most important matches later on.
