HELLO IT'S TIME FOR ME TO RUN A STUPID TOURNAMENT POORLY FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT! The format this time is a riff on some bullshit called Ancient that a guy with a blogspot made up. The premise is this: cards whose first printing was in an old border set are the card pool, but with a Legacyish banlist. This means Alpha through Scourge and the various flavors of Portal and Starter and etc. Tournament format will be Swiss rounds (based on playerbase) with the option to change your deck each week, followed by a cut to top 8 with the same deck switchability. Let's brew some dope poo poo! All matches will be best of 3. Post in this thread to register, I'll start the festivities on the 22th of July (just shy of two weeks from now). Also, I'm gonna dig through my collection to find something neat for prize support, but if you wanna contribute too it will be welcome! Banlist is as follows. Key differences from the Legacy banlist are Survival of the Fittest, Tinker, and Flash are not banned because the targets are a lot worse: All Conspiracies Amulet of Quoz Ancestral Recall Balance Bazaar of Baghdad Black Lotus Black Vise Bronze Tablet Channel Chaos Orb Contract from Below Darkpact Demonic Attorney Demonic Consultation Demonic Tutor Earthcraft Falling Star Fastbond Frantic Search Goblin Recruiter Gush Hermit Druid Imperial Seal Jeweled Bird Library of Alexandria Mana Crypt Mana Drain Mana Vault Memory Jar Mind Twist Mind's Desire Mishra's Workshop Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Mystical Tutor Necropotence Oath of Druids Rebirth Shahrazad Sol Ring Strip Mine Tempest Efreet Time Vault Time Walk Timetwister Timmerian Fiends Tolarian Academy Vampiric Tutor Wheel of Fortune Windfall Worldgorger Dragon Yawgmoth's Bargain Yawgmoth's Will I believe this is all but I'll post more if I remember that I forgot.

I'm going to hold on bans for this one, but I'm planning to do more so anything that proves super busted this time will get the axe. Also promos of cards originally printed post-Scourge aren't legal even if they're old frame. Just to be clear. No Bob sorry!!

Hellsau posted:Yeah High Tide with 4x Candelabra and 4x Merchant Scroll and 4x Time Spiral is rather consistent. For the moment I say run it and kick some teeth in. If the format gets too bad I can hotswap the ban list but I wanna lock it in as in the OP. I’m willing to believe my list is horribly wrong but I also feel like we could tweak it to death and I’d rather just play and fix stuff that’s degenerate. I’d like to keep running this past the first season so there’s ample time to fix things.

Not gonna ban anything else until after week 1. My foot is down. I can't pick it up. I don't want to ban things for the following reasons: 1) Bans are not fun! If a card isn't provably degenerate, then in the abstract I'd rather have it than not. Week 1 will give us concrete evidence. 2) I don't really want to tweak the list ad nauseum because all I can really do is gut check people's assertions at this point and ain't nobody got time for that. 4) I dunno something for the rule of threes. If people are concerned, we can do week one as a welcome week of sorts that won't impact future pairings/standings and see if anything is drastically overperforming. But I'm also ok with people using this tournament to prove poo poo's busted and force my hand and ruin people's days because I'm fundamentally a bad dude.
