Hello everybody,

We will try to organize online tournaments of Magic The Gathering.
Dates for tournaments will be decided on a further date

How?
We will be using the software Magic workstation.

+ [Magic Workstation] +

Download link: http://www.magicworkstation.com/downloads.php
Download CROP pictures: http://www.slightlymagic.net
Download FULL pictures: http://mws.mtgbr.com/full-01.htm

This software is good because you can use all the cards in the database for free. The drawbacks being that it's not automated, everything being manual and that's why the player will need skype to play (but actually it's fun).

You can see below how it looks on my comp:

I kinda stopped following pokemon after the first 150, so I have no idea what any of the new cards do, sorry.

edit: crazerk ruined my troll. ****.

[Admin]

[crAzerk]

Rofl pinder xD

@bug I've no idea what pokemon TCG is like since 10 years ago

[DeNile]

[noobinater]

Are we going to be playing standard format? Haven't played MTG since Ravnica, have there been any significant rule changes since then (besides renaming mechanics)?

[PantlessPete]

I quit magic last year some time, but have fun you guys! =)

Main rule change is that combat damage no longer goes on the stack. You used to be able to react to combat damage, now you can't. Honestly in the new sets it isn't a huge deal, because there aren't cards that you would really want to use right before damage goes on, you can just Giant Growth your dude after blockers are declared. Basically as soon as you say "1 point to Deadly Recluse and 3 to Giant Spider" the damage is applied.

Oh and you'll need to learn about planeswalkers. (unique/legendary) Permanent cards that do all kinds of crazy things and have loyalty counters. You can use 1 ability per turn as a sorcery at the cost of loyalty counters (some abilities add counters, some take), when your planeswalker is out of loyalty counters he goes to the discard pile. Any spell that can target a player can target a planeswalker (but you must say targetting my opponent and redirecting damage to his planeswalker), and when you attack with a creature you must declare if you are attacking your opponent or the planeswalker.

Removed from the game = exiled
The board = battlefield (so instead of "as enters play" its "as enters the battlefield")

Also note that a planeswalker named "Jace" is very imba, imagine Colossus that shoots air.

There's also the change in the blocking rules.

Im in, I'll put together online version of ultimate lock-down deck.


Leyline of the Void (no graveyard) + Mists of Stagnation (Can only attack with creatures = to number of cards in graveyard) + Web of Inertia (can only untap cards = to number of cards in graveyard)

Yeah that's right, the ultimate troll deck, stand there and do nothing while I kill you slowly with a 1/1 creature.....WOOT!

That is assuming tourney is type 1.... (extended?) or Type 2 (Current)

[Frogmite]

OK so i register the following players:

DeNile
Ridiculisk
Bugalugs McScruffin
Noobinater

Don't forget to send me your skype details by pm.

The different competitive types are as follow:

T1 aka vintage = all the cards allowed, banned cards are allowed but one per deck only (Mox, black lotus....)
T1.5 aka legacy = all the cards of T1 without the banned cards.
T1.X aka extended = last four years of extension sets
T2 aka standard = the two last extension sets
Block=current extension set only

There are others formats but not so competitive.
As we are all former players i propose we play in legacy.

+ [list of banned cards in legacy] +

1. Black Lotus
2. Ancestral Recall
3. Time Walk
4. Mox Sapphire
5. Mox Jet
6. Mox Ruby
7. Mox Emerald
8. Mox Pearl
9. Timetwister

Limited formats are best for this sort of thing... Constructed takes a lot of effort if you want to know a format/matchups even fairly well. Limited just requires some decent card evaluation (obviously knowing the sets well and the good threats/options your opponent could have with various mana floating helps. but it's not as massive as knowing a constructed format).

If we can get 8 and do a standard 8 man draft or something? There are websites that will simulate a draft, and we then all submit the deck from it (the deck comes with a uuid (or something) for the draft, so people won't cheat) and play those decks through workstation...

Yeah good idea , if players prefer to play limited i am fine with that . Do you have the adress for the automated draft?

I still propose we gather on tuesday at least for trying to set-up the software for everyone.
There are default decks going along with the soft. If you prefer mighty decks i will send them to you through skype.
