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...
