Hey folks,

seemed like some people were interested in this in the main thread so I figured I'd start a thread to run this tournament.

Standard construction rules apply - 60 card deck, 15 card sideboard.

We are building decks with cards exclusively from the Commander, Planechase, and Conspiracy sets.

Planes and Conspiracies themselves are banned. No other cards are banned, which means you get to play with three legacy-banned cards - Sol Ring, Skullclamp, and Windfall. This might be broken-to-gently caress - it's your job to figure that out!

Please post in this thread indicating you are signing up. I'll post brackets monday morning (11/30) (PST if that matters). We won't need decklists for the first round but after that I would like us to publicly post our decklists so we can learn the meta.

Here's a handy link to all the cards that are legal (any product that has "commander" "planechase" "archenemy" or "conspiracy" in the title, including Commander's Arsenal)

http://magiccards.info/query?q=%28e...&v=card&s=cname

This is a larger cardpool than standard with powerful legacy cards like Sol Ring and Brainstorm and then only dumb 8 mana spells to cast with them.

If you have any card questions feel free to post them here.

Happy Brewing!


1 week to play (new pairings will go up on the next monday).

never got confirmation on the following people, so let me know if you're in:

cheetah7071
newtestleper
archentron
PJ Omega

I have added you guys in paired against each other (for the most part, one of you has a bye and one of you is paired against a "real" player to give them the chance to play if you're in).

There's a challonge here:
http://challonge.com/goonbrews01


Here's the pairings if you hate clicking links. People in italics may not actually be playing and thus are byes and will be dropped after the first round:
defeatest elitist
odiv

ramos
lancelot

pussy snorkel
elyv

suicidesteve
muon

chamale
Sigma-X

irony be my shield
olothreutes

little munchkin
newtestleper

archentron

Please report here when you're done.

Once the first round is complete I'd like people to post their decklists to the thread so we can get a sense of the meta.

Please use Xmage to play the game unless you run into card support issues:
http://xmage.de/
Use xmage.de as your xmage server as they update more regularly and will be on the latest version compared to woogerworks.

If you run into card support issues for your deck, please use cockatrice instead.
http://www.woogerworks.com/ Use the woogerworks cockatrice server for cockatrice.

In addition to using PMs, e-mails, or whatever the hell you want to share for contact info, consider meeting up in the GOON IRC:

use this cool webclient if you don't know/care about IRC clients
http://cgiirc.synirc.net/

We meet in #mtgoon
It should be irc.synirc.net as the server and #mtgoon for room.

For the record, archenemy schemes go into the command zone as well, so maybe that should be allowed too?

These actually snuck in! Schemes are not part of deck construction but all regular cards are.

odiv posted:

I have no idea what the gently caress I'm going to run or how I'm going to figure that out, but I'm in.

You mean to say minimum 60 card deck, right? Maybe I'll just run a Commander pre-con okay, no I won't

Yeah minimum 60 cards. I don't think Battle of Wits is in this format but go nuts with your ridiculous sized deck.

Sorry for being terrible and not checking this thread. I'm available Saturday anytime after 1:00 Mountain Time, or Sunday morning, or Sunday evening after 5:00. What's good for you?

I should be able to do sunday morning, I might be around saturday at that time too.

Chamale, I can either do after 5:00pm mountain time, or 9:00am california time (10:00am mountain time?) I'll be on irc at 9 for a while and then after 5:00.

Chamale crushed me 2-0.

important notice - xMage does not handle cascade and split cards correctly. If you are trying to abuse this interaction like I am, you'll want to play on Cockatrice

We didn't discover this until I was funsies cascading while dead on board so it was irrelevant, but wanted to give people a heads up.

Also, always play more trygon predators.

waiting on odiv and defeatest and then we're good with all the drops.

So I'm still waiting on the Ramos / Odiv match and the Elyv and Suicidesteve match. I know it's busy times - please check in ASAP. I'll give you guys til end of tuesday.

Jun 17, 2005
I can't loving read. We're still waiting on the steve/elyv game though, right? Hurry it up guys or I'm letting Steve take the win because he posted last.

e: also go to bed it's 4:30am in california there is no reason for you to be awake at this time unless you're in a country where they don't speak english or spell color with superfluous 'u's

It's 5:30 here, I should be going to bed, and IBMS is definitely somewhere across the Atlantic. Roughly GMT I think.

I'm giving Elyv the loss and moving onto the next round. We'd have a bye if I dropped him so I'm keeping him in the round for the moment, he's in the 0-2 bracket anyways.

ROUND THREE PAIRINGS:

RAMOS vs SUICIDESTEVE
DEFEATEST ELITIST vs IRONY BE MY SHIELD
LITTLE MUNCHKIN vs OLOTHREUTES
MUON vs CHAMALE
PUSSY SNORKEL vs ODIV
SIGMA-X vs ELYV

we'll run this round until eod next tuesday the 22nd or until everyone except ELYV has checked in, at which point we'll drop him from the tournament.

If we need to extend the round time we can, but with next week being christmas I'd rather try to cram a round in this week and have the 4th round run two weeks to account for holidays / travel / etc.
