Title: The Movie block league
Post by: TheJord on March 24, 2011, 09:59:18 AM
Towers Standard has turned into a bit of a washout.

I am hoping Movie block will bring in more interest and games.

How do we want to approach it? Are we happy with the current X-list as given by Decipher, or is everyone in support of the House Rules lists, which currently have added Galadriel, LR to the x-list and 0P62 through 0P66 allowed?

I won't play it unless at least Galadriel, LR is banned. There are no Gentleman's Agreements when it comes to leagues and tournaments, it either is or it isn't. And if it isn't, it will be used and abused.

I know that people are trying to accomplish tournament play around here, but what have these leagues shown or proven? It's the same four or five people playing all of the games and interest diminishes between each league.

TS was and is not a popular format. Movie on the other hand is very popular.

I personally found FotR, TTT and TS all to have such small card pools that everyone played essentially the same deck, more so in FotR. More people should be willing to play movie games as it is essentially the 'Standard' of TLHH and GCCG.

I didn't play in the other leagues because I only recently started playing on GCCG.  How does the league work?  Is there a set number of games you play each week?  Are you required to use the same deck for each game or can you change between games?

Movie I would play either way....

But what about the proposal of FM, to play some sort of movie open to allow all cards and just see what happens to the format. Build a killer Aggression deck, a killer LR deck etc... Sounds interesting to me

I think that the Movie Block league would be more popular and be able to draw more players.  Using the house rules it would be better so no Galadriel, LR.  I think we would see more creativity in decks and it would be more fun in general.  Whenever this gets started, I'm in.

I've been a collector mainly, but would certainly like to try and play more. :book: If you are patient enough with my newbie-style of playing ( ](*,)), I am in.  \:D/

Stick with Decipher's x-list. Otherwise it's not really movie block, it will be 'TLHH's house rules movie block league'.

Personally I have not ever played with LR once, but she is legal in movie block, so should be used if people want too.

Since it's a player organized league, most likely it will be whatever the majority wants to play.

So you're telling me a Dwarf-only League is possible??? ^^

I'm probably totally oblivious to something huge, but why is Galadriel LR illegal?  I mean she is free in your starting fellowship but other than that...

You are. ;)

Good debate on both sides.

I have heard fruit loops mentioned many times here and there on the forums.. I would love to see a deck list if someone has a link. It was before my time and I'd like to see what all the fuss is about..

I dont have a deck list with me, but its basically an endless loop to empty the players hand and draw deck, then play several last throw to make the move limit +99999.

C'mon MuadDib! You too! Here is a link, which is stickied in "Open," and can also be found with the search function (http://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/index.php/topic,237.0.html).

I forgive you this time.

Yeah, I got lazy... Rarely ever use the search function or look at 'Open'. I knew some kind soul would post a link for me. :)

Thanks for that Ket, you got a thumbs up.

... With or without Lady Redeemed in the tournament, I'll play, I just think it would be better if you used Decipher's x-list so it actually is movie block.

No prizes for guessing what shadow will be used in probably 90% of games anyway.. Unless you guys also want to ban the fat pirate (who imo is nearly as OP Lady Redeemed). Although I still use him, it's funny to see people rage. -> Kaan. Haha.
