omg Redman is still alive! Zoo 4L

[waSP]

I used to have a good build of Stompy that ran the Sprites

4 Berserk is awesome in Stompy, you should come up with some build.

[Redman]

Sprite + Blood Lust + Giant Growth + Giant Growth + Berserk = GG

[Joel Rojo]

r0r.

[Matt]

I think there's only one thing I need to say (or post, as it may be):



(That, and I'm still alive)

I DARE you to play U/G Flying Stompy.

[Dr. Sylvan]

Now that I know how casual this thing will be, I need to dig up one of the lists that I played in my high school club's "no one except Phil has dual lands" Type One tournaments. Sweet merciful crap, that deck was awesome. Y'all have no idea how awesome Steel Golem is when comboed with Mishra's Factory.

[Vegeta2711]

Hell yes, best tourney concept ever.

I'll probably drag out Sneak Attack for this.  

[Jebus]

Perhaps I should find my old copies of my bad Rector decks.

[Womprax]

<3

[TracerBullet]

Wheaties is coming at your asses...

[The Atog Lord]

Oh no. My pet deck is my competitive deck....

But then, I have been known to make some lists involving Atog. Not the Blue or Black type, either. I haven't made a list in years, but the new block offers some interesting possibilities.

[wuaffiliate]

you will all be annihilated.

[Matt]

A word to the wise: these decks are fairly high power-level. I was seriously considering charge counters.dec but not anymore. Think of the power level of 1.5 decks, that sort of thing.

[Kowal]

I would say slightly weaker than 1.5 decks.  Not watered down enough to be type 2 calibur though.

[Matt]

Well, Parfait and stuff aren't really 'casual', which is what I thought this would be. They're just outdated.

[Shock Wave]

I'm in for this bad boy. Beware, PardicMiner.dec cometh.  :lol:

[Joel Rojo]

I was actually considering Lime Parfait, but I guess Tax/Seismic will do.

[rvs]

ok fine, I have a casual recycle deck that I will play then. I can't stay away from the combo

[wuaffiliate]

omg recycle is so cool, brianb style!

[Bram]

I'm afraid I'll have to decline for lack of a viable internet connection during the tournament. 'Till the 7th of August I'll only have access to the intarweb at work (a heavily monitored system behind a massive firewall I can't use Apprentice through), and from the 7th to the 14th of August I'll be on vacation. So unless we tart to tango from the 15th of August onwards, I'm afraid I have to give up my seat.

Damn. I was really looking forward to pwning your collective arses with my wacky Pox build

[rvs]

Damn. I was really looking forward to pwning your collective arses with my wacky Pox build

You cannot play Pox. You must play Turbopoison.dec

[Azhrei]

I can't play in it, but I'd like to submit a decklist to someone who is, if they want.

PM me if you want to.

[Jebus]

I can't play in it, but I'd like to submit a decklist to someone who is, if they want.

Well, I'm still thinking about a deck, so I'll run yours if you want.

[Jacob Orlove]

Okay, I'm taking over from Kowal for a few days, so if you have any questions, I'll do my best to not actually answer them until he gets back. :)

[Matt]

Oh, it should be noted: we decided to tone the power level down. We're going for casual, not outclassed or outdated. So no parfait, but feel free to bring TurboFog.

We also may be banning certain cards on a case-by-case basis. There are fair ways to use Replenish and there are unfair ways to use it, so some decks would not be allowed the use of it and some would.

[waSP]

When is this going down and when will the decklists be due?

[Jacob Orlove]

We're slowly sending out invites via PM. I guess I can send some later today. If you don't get one and you expected one, it's much more likely that I'm being lazy than that you're not invited.

Also, we reserve the right to request that you make a new deck, either because yours is too good, or because someone beat you to the idea.

[Dr. Sylvan]

Since the current plan is for matches to have a week-long window each to get done, we should start soon so we can finish some time before 2005. :p

There's no firm due date, but the mods have already pretty much been posting their lists in the sekrit forum. Hilariously, Toad's is possibly the most powerful one, whereas mine is clearly the most awesome.

=me=: duplicant
=me=: i'll go with duplicant
Ben Kowal: Gerrard is way better
Ben Kowal: trust me
=me=: stealing works for me as pirate flavor. you don't think so?
=me=: oh man LIFEGAIN
=me=: you're right, gerrard is in

[Matt]

Also: make up a clever name for your decks! There will be a "best deck name" side competition. There will be several others, too, including "best play" and so forth.

[Jebus]

Oh man, I'd better pull out something really terrible.
