New tread regarding Amsterdam tournament 7th february 2009

[Ringbearer]

I defintely liked more the good ole days of fellowship, just to play it again. I dont care much for new cards, since they powered up way too much.

[Elrohir]

I really understand you, I like old cards much more too than the newer ones.

But look, you play: Round1&2 Movieblock (old cards)
                              Round 3&4 Austria Format (old cards, if you want it) - IMPORTANT: NEW SITES
                              Round 5 (same as Round 1&2 or 3&4)

So you can play the whole tournament with 1 old-card deck. Only thing to change are the sites in Round 3&4.
(Exception: Standard in round 6...)

Hello!
Smeagollum:
Do we need Booster of Rise of Saruman and Treachery & Deceit as prizesupport?
If so, I pm you a notice how to get RoS Booster (which is hard to get one!).
I think, one rare card is a very, very little prizesupport.
But that is just my opinion.

Well, hope all are satisfied,
with kind regards,
Elrohir

Would like to, but I finance the tournament prizesupport myself. And what I bought (Miniatures) is allready over 30 euro. How much will the ros-box cost?

[Ringbearer]

Sorry, but I maade up my mind, I aint coming. I understand people want to play new as well, but I aint that much interetsed to face follow horn... Nope, I wont join. Sorry.

Haha how many people do you think have an actual Horn deck!?

Hi Bert,

I also like the old cards more then the new. But thing is I really need to mix things to keep everybody happy. For example Elrohir like to play the new stuff. The Austrian format give the option to play with old cards. And if you look closely to the tournament you're able to play all rounds with only cards from the filmblock. Even round 6 (I must admit that it would be only from the rotkblock, but even then you can build a deck witch can matchup the new cards).

People who play with new cards however do need the new sitesystem (with new sites).
To keep everybody a bit happy I made it possible to use old sites is round 5. There's even one very broken combo possible, which I hope to have fixed with the errata as mentioned in the first post of this topic.

I really think you can have a lot of fun with this tournament. And I realy like to ask you to reconcider it, because I would like you to be there and have fun as well. And I think all people who will come with me!

[Smeagollum]

Well... I have 2... but will not play them. I'll only play with the old cards.

[Ringbearer]

Nope, my decision stands. I joined for the good ole days of fellowship block, some TTT. I cared less for the sets 11-19. Austrian format still allows standard dekcs, which are too strong imho for the old decks. I aint saying people should change format cause majority counts, but I aint playing.

[Smeagollum]

I totally disagree with you. Actually in Amsterdam we play only a little different then Austrian. We use also old sites and sometimes we use sites at random. We really have a lot of fun and often enough the good old decks win...

And during the tournament we can pair you with somebody who's also playing an old deck. I am sure that there are more then a few people who will play old decks!

Guy's help me to convince Bert!

Why is everyone so afraid of Horn decks? or Trollswarm decks? I faced such decks often... even at the european championship... and yeah, a potential horn deck may be strong... but I destroyed those decks as well with my fellow... just a powerful guide, treebeard, grimbeorn with axe and some stern words... and you are safe - kill all the trolls - discard their conditions (goblin hordes and forced march... and that's it...)

...and I don't understand your problem: old decks may also smash up newer ones... especially old shadows can kill newer fellows...

powerful guide: new card, so are grim and axe, and stern words....

[Elrohir]

Shadowplay, for example for Trolls keyward.
The horny fellowship dies with blade tip and black breath...

[Smeagollum]

Don't talk about black breath and blade tip...bwah  If they play it with morgul blade it get real sick....

Or Dauntless hunter with beasterlings 

Old cards are still fun and a lot of new carddecks can't keep up to it!

Common, Bert

Do people have a problem if I raise the fee with 2 euro, so that I can arrange extra prizesupport?
