I’m hosting a new branch of DC contests in which we will be updating cards from older expansions into the new mechanics of the most previous War of the Ring block.
Now i know we have enough regular posters to host this kind of thing, so i’m gonna list the people who WILL participate in this event;
Me, myself, and I, tOO, Hazael, Phazanzar, Bilbo; RA, Exarkun, Anxious Chieftan, Adult Link, and a few others.
I’m only going to list these eight because that’s all we need to get the ball rolling. But i expect to have at least four more voluntary entries.
So, now that we all know what’s gonna happen, i’ll explain the full rules once i get eight people (and at least half of those eight had better be mentioned on the above list.)
OK, bye for now, but i WILL have at least four entrants by tommorow! |
Long live the southern bros. |

If you must impose more socalled "contests" on us, then I guess that’d be okay. I’ll humor you. |

Be careful what you say tOO. You wouldn’t want to get disqualified .
Oh ya, I’ve got two people to add to my "will participate list".
Anonymous Prodigy, and Ingold55
Sorry that i forgot about you, Josiah...
OK, so i’ve got four entrants (including myself), not bad. But, to all newbies: 1: Please enter this contest immediately. Do not be Hesitant. 2: Tell your friends! 3: Have a heck load of fun!
I’d like to get this thing up and running today, but i don’t see us getting four more entrants in so little time . |

I’ll join, if you either A) spell my name correctly (it’s Chieftain, not Chieftan) , or b) just call me AC for short (preferred). |

Awesome! 7 entrants! But in cases where there is an odd number of people, i will sit out.
Hey, Sickleofvalar, are you in? If so, post it here. If not, and i don’t get anymore entrants by 8:00 pm tonight, then i’ll prepare for a six player contest.
OK, so check here tonight at 8:30-9:00 to see the rules and who you’re paired with. |

Rules
Here are the rules for the Update to Standard contest #1:
Entrants will be paired in teams of two, each working to make a better updated card than his/her opponent.
All cards must be sent to me via pm by 11:59 pm wednesday. Failure to comply with this rule will result in disqualification.
If one person does not enter his/her card in time, i will take the place of that person in the contest. If anymore than one person does not enter his/her card in time, the partnerless people will receive automatic bypasses, and continue to the next round.
Format: Each pair will receive a card to make. Everyone from the other brackets and people that are not entered in the contest will vote for one person (whoever’s card they like best) from each bracket. I will tally the votes, and the winner’s will receive one Bracket Win.
Then I will display the winning cards, and everyone except the winners will vote for the card that they think is best.
That winner will receive a Universal Win.
With each new contest, i will show the records for each person. You can find out scores by using a Universal Win as 2 Points, and a Bracket Win as 1 point.
So without further ado, here we go; the contest has begun!
Bracket 1 {tOO vs. Josiah_of_Rohan}
Bracket 2 {Phazanzar vs. AC }
Bracket 3 {Hazael vs. Exarrkun}
And here are the cards to make:
Bracket 1: Greatest Kingdom of My People
Try to use a specific culture of orc (or any other shadow race) instead of the broad term "orc". Also, maybe something more gut wrenching than discard the top card of your draw deck?
Bracket 2: Boromir, Son of Denethor
Use the new Hunter mechanic in his game text. It’s OK if you give it to him as well, but make it have something to do with helping hobbits out.
Bracket 3: No Stranger to the Shadows
You guys get the best one . Basically, you just need to make it tournament legal. But also add something about initiative, eg. bonuses when you lose it, bonuses if you don’t.
All right then. I think all is in order. I will begin the voting stage at 11:00 am (approximately) on thursday, and will conclude it on Saturday at 11:00 am (approximately).
Have severe fun! |
