*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Hi guys,

if you want to allow all cards of all sets for a tournament game (except some x-listed cards) you choose EXPANDED Format - but there is a catch: some broken combos like e.g. Mumak Commander GATS and Hate are possibly... could be annoying...
wanna have a more fair game?
wanna let join most players to a tournament? (players with only cards from the fellowship block, players with only cards from the newer sets, players with nearly all cards)

I have invented a format, which makes all that possible - and this format has already been prooved in real life, in real tournaments (e.g. European Tournament in Germany 2008) - everyone liked it very much!

So, how does it work? Here's the description:

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

1.) ALL CARDS FROM ALL SETS ARE ALLOWED (except those listed on the x-list of Austrian Format)

2.) THE PARTS OF YOUR DECKS (free peoples/shadow) HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY

     --> one site of your deck may consist of one of the following: Cards from set 1-10 OR 7-19
     --> EXCEPTION: set 9, 14, 16, 19 and WETA COLLECTION MAY ALWAYS BE USED
     --> any kind of Alternative Ringbearer or "The One Ring" may also alwys be used
     --> only "new" sites from set 11 and later are allowed

It is that easy.
Some examples for decks in AUSTRIAN Format:

- Ringbound Hobbits (set 7-19) with Forest Nazgul (set 7-19) - this deck is also Standard (The One Ring, Isildur's bane, may be used)
- Hunter Elves (set 7-19) with Twilight Nazgul (set 1-10) - this deck is not Standard, it is not Expanded, it is Austrian Format (Wraith Collection may be used in the Nazgul-part).
- Ringbound Ranger (set 1-10) with Moria (set 1-10) - for Moria, The Balrog, Demon of Might (set 19) may be used

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

If there is any question left, please do not hesitate to ask and I will be happy to help you.
The X-list for this format will follow soon.

So, I think we need some deck proposals here...  Thumbs Up

Nice work Olorin :-)

At last there is a description of the Austrian Format. Read a lot of this format but never found any rules for it...

Do you mind, if I copy those information to the approtiate format rules section of Nine-Walkers 2.0?

Yeah, do it... though I think most of them should know that format very well... but it won't hurt Smiley Thumbs Up

You need Erland for this loop and he is from set 11, and could not be in a FP deck that had a card from set 3.

Is this ruling about ringbearers just for alternative ringbearers or is Frodo also always playable in any version?

Not infinitive....you need to get back Birthday present. You could do nice things with it, but as infinitive as Erland it isn't....
