I can't afford this poo poo, time to play Magic with goons instead.

New Thunderdome, now with standard cards. That means you use Tarkir Block, Magic: Origins, and Battle for Zendikar.
Sign ups close 10/15/2015. Just in time for Pro Tour.

irc: #mtgoon on irc.synirc.net, no one actually uses the thunderdome room.
http://xmage.de/ is what we'll be using to play. It's like MTGO, if MTGO was actually functional.

PM me your decks with thunderdome in the title or find me on IRC if you're not cool enough to be a platinum goon. I need them by the sign up end date. All decks will be hidden until round 1 ends or whatever.

The players: (With a check if they've sent in their deck)

Now that SCG Open is done, remember to submit your decks by the end of the 15th. I want to have round 1 up on the 16th.

Also, there's still time to sign up for everyone interested.

Ramos

I wouldn't worry about getting something that's top levels of competitive, all of the entries so far are piles or just an excuse to give a deck a funny name. (As Magic goons are wont to do.)

Pairings are up. You have roughly one week to find your opponent and kick that person's rear end.

We're doing four rounds of swiss. Every round is best 2 out of 3.

And Sigma, I'll be available after 4:00 PM EST 9:00PM EST today and all through the weekend. Woo hoo, short term notice on call for support. It's going to be a fun weekend and I'm off to go get in an early nap.

I may be available some time on Saturday. I'm on Cali time, I'll check the mtgoon IRC when I am available.

Things have escalated and it looks like I'll be in the office all day on Saturday (in fact, right now!). I'm not feeling too confident on Sunday either but I can see about sneaking it in. Would you be available some time during the week?

Ramos, I can do wednesday or thursday either some time 12-2 california time or after 7 california time.

I'll be on Wednesday then. I'll be available at noon pacific time.

Sigma-X posted:

Sounds good. I'll be playing from work so I might be a few minutes late because inevitably lunch time is exactly when someone has some hot ticket issue that needs to boggart 15 minutes of my day.

Oh yeah, I know that feeling. Luckily I'll be out of work at that point with no further plans that day, so I can wait.

Ramos

2-0 in my favor. Still, Dragonmaster Outcast is a horrifying little card.

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


Since I've been asked, we'll set the end of this round to Sunday night EST. Come Monday morning on the east coast of the US, we're moving onto round 2.

Is this 4 rounds of swiss and cut to top 4 or what?

Four rounds of swiss and then we'll see if any goons are still playing. If we do, it's onto top 4.

Ramos

2-1 in Thisuck's favor.

I'm sad that I didn't see this thread til after it all started.. when's the next one of these going to go down? Cuz I want in

Whenever this one finishes, which will be in somewhere between two to five weeks depending on if there's enough interest to do a top four. I'll make sure to announce it in the main thread when I make the next thunderdome. I was possibly thinking of doing legacy next, unless anyone else has some suggestions.

Ramos

Good morning, world! Sigma-X failed to show up, so I'm defaulting this one to Lawinator.

http://challonge.com/ThunderdomeV

New pairings are up. The round will end on the morning of 11/11/2015.

KidDynamite, I won't be available until at least Wednesday, but beyond that, what works well for you?

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


KidDynamite posted:

Thursday after 5pm EST should work for me.

Alright, that sounds good. I'll need to be somewhere at 8PM, but it shouldn't take anywhere near three hours.

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


2-1, me winning over KidDynamite.

I got to say, having played against two aristrocrats decks so far, if they draw Butcher of the Horde, I'm pretty dead without sideboard removal. Without that, the game plan is often too slow for G/W's threats.

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


Well, neither Irony Be My Shield nor always be closing reported to me at all (and I definitely saw Irony around the forums). So if you're paired with either of them or Sigma-X, don't expect to get a game in.

Regardless, this is the last round because the week after is Thanksgiving and, yeah, I'm not even going to try to get things working during that time considering my schedule and likely other Americans as well.

http://challonge.com/ThunderdomeV

Report in by 11/19.

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


Alright, in that case things work out nicely. The two dropouts got paired together. So, Irony, I'll be available for a match any time from Friday 3PM EST and forward. What's a good time?

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


2-0 in IBMS's favor. Ulamog pretty much curb stomped me.

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


Results are in. Thisuck, IBMS, TheLawinator, and suicidesteve are in the top 4. If you guys are still up for it, we can hammer out the winner of that. Hopefully in a faster fashion than the usual rounds due to half the people being involved.

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


I'll take that as a yes.

Suicidesteve vs IBMS

Lawinator vs Thisuck

No hard time limit this time.

Ramos
Jul 3, 2012


Nah, this is going to be the hill you die on. :v:

Ramos

Any updates from Thisuck or Lawinator?

Final round is suicidesteve vs Lawinator. At your own pace, guys.
