Thunderdome VII: Dirge of Faeries So the most popular Thunderdome ever, Thunderdome 6 is almost over. Seems like it's time to start a new one! Same format: Pauper and MTGO only so get your Cockatrice and Xmage nonsense out of here. So you want to play constructed Magic but you're too attached to your kidneys to sell them. My friend, I have just the thing for you: Pauper: the format of What's pauper? Pauper is a format where only cards that were printed at common on Magic: the Gathering Online (MTGO) are legal. So no Hymn to Tourach. Sorry! So what's legal? Every common aside from the ones that haven't been printed at common on MTGO, as well as a small ban list. So what's not legal? Cloudpost Cranial Plating Empty the Warrens Frantic Search Grapeshot Invigorate Temporal Fissure Treasure Cruise Cloud of Faeries suck it forever So what can you play in pauper? What can't you play?! Some of the more common archetypes include: Mono-black control Blue-black control Affinity Mono-blue or Blue-black Delver RUG Tron UR Kiln Fiend Delver Acid Trip You can find a lot more archetypes here, and if you don't like anything I can try to help you find something else. There's a few decks that don't show up on there. We'll be playing on MTGO. Who's playing and what is their MTGO name? suicidesteve – suicidesteve44 – RUG Tron L0cke17 – lockeandload – Skred Control Boco_t – boco_t – UR Goblin Storm Lonely Bridge – Whataboutcats - Affinity Lawnie - Lawnie - Elves Checkplease – ch3ckplease – RG Madness rimusutera – shhkari – UB Delver DAD LOST MY IPOD - Sygerrik - Dredge Static Equilibrium – pootmachine – UR Kiln Fiend frozen_ flame – frozen_flame – Mono-Black ShaneB – shanebeeps – Izzet Blitz Necronomicon – deadmoscow – Izzet Blitz The Minister – themin – UB Delver The Peavstenator – ThePeavstenator – White Weenie Chamale – Chamale – Elves Hellsau – Hellsau – UB Teachings CompeAnansi – CompeAnansi – Affinity Fingers McLongDong - FingersMLD - Turbo Fog thelawinator – thelawinator – Mono-black rinski - WotC_VNDR_MarkB - Acid Trip voyager 1 - VoyagerI – 8-Whack playground tough – jackiefabric – Bogles Pwnguin – magicstern – Izzetron MisterOblivious – misteroblivious – Burn The Shortest Path – theshortestpath – Affinity uruloki - uruloki - Turbo-fog Things currently available to borrow: GW Sliver Stompy UWR Value minus the white artifact lands RUG Tron or Acid Trip (whichever I don't play) Dredge A very special announcement on how to report your score Please announce your match results in the following way: Your Score - Your Opponent's Score You'll get one warning. suicidesteve posted:Ok so now the last one is over and it's time to start figuring out what's going on here!

Sign me the gently caress up, same name here as in game. Do we need to keep using the same deck forever? I don't see what goes wrong if we just bring a different deck each week or use the same one, it isn't like decklists are going to be public. Also Cloud of Faeries should have been banned back when Cloudpost bit the dust.

L0cke17 posted:I'm in again. lockeandload on mtgo. Will we be posting deck archetypes/decklists? Or completely blind? Yeah I think just knowing archetypes is probably best. It seems like it worked pretty well last time. Does anyone have a preference on keeping decks through the whole tournament? Depending on how many rounds we get, something like VSL where we can change decks every 2 weeks could be cool. Maybe have 3 decks and then if you make top 8 you choose one of those 3 decks to play each round? I'm just worried that people that don't own multiple decks will get screwed by that. I've got/can build most decks that don't involve multiple $6 commons so I'd be on board with it.

suicidesteve posted:Yeah I think just knowing archetypes is probably best. It seems like it worked pretty well last time. I think that if you lose a match you should have the option to switch before the next week, but you should choose your new archetype before the next pairings go up. Same with lists. If you lose you can make changes, but if you win you gotta keep with what you've already got.

suicidesteve posted:Yeah I think just knowing archetypes is probably best. It seems like it worked pretty well last time. I think people should be able to freely change decks, but maybe not lists, between matches, but must inform their opponent (specifically) and the thread ahead of time. I only have a couple decks and I don't know how they'll do against this particular meta, but I don't really mind playing only 2 decks while others can play 4 if they want. It doesn't really hinder my enjoyment of the thing.

Ok so now the last one is over and it's time to start figuring out what's going on here! Congrats to DAD LOST MY IPOD for saving us form having Burn win a tournament! Also congrats to Mikujin for 2nd place. Everyone else, I expect better from you. So I reckon 2 weeks from last Sunday (which is to say March 6th) should be enough time for everyone who's interested to get in. Make sure you post your MTGO name. I kinda like the idea of allowing for a change of decks if you lose a match and keeping the decks if you win. I still have most of several decks for people to borrow, though you may have to provide some staples like Mulldrifters, Journey to Nowhere, and artifact lands. So here's what I want everyone to do: Post your MTGO name and the archetype you plan to play. Don't post or send me your specific deck lists. After each round if you've lost you'll be allowed to change your archetype, or make changes to your deck list before the next round's pairings are up. So it would be in your best interest to have an idea of whether you're switching, and what to, before you play your match. New pairings will be posted around noon EST Monday. The usual stuff applies: if you don't play your match and don't post, you're dropped. If you're unable to play your match but would like to stay in the tournament just post and let me know and you'll get a match loss. If a match isn't able to be played in time but both players have made a reasonable effort (ie if both players posted and one person's availability for the week isn't 3AM Tuesday) it will be a draw. I can give time extensions for extenuating circumstances, so just let me know if something major comes up. I think we all agree that we'd rather have a cool, interesting tournament that's a little slower than normal than have someone lose a match because their dog died or whatever happens.

It's probably much better now that it doesn't get wrecked by Cloud into Sprite but it was just too vulnerable to flooding for me to get Slivers to work.
