League Feedback

So many formats - too many choices - I am a Libran and have trouble making up my mind

It is so much easier with the league (whatever the format may be) - someone makes my mind up for me

Well, natural progression, wouldn't that be set 1-4, TTT sites?

Is this actually a format though? Has anyone ever played sets 1-4 before?

I have, it was called Standard, when The Two Towers first came out. However, as I said, it was STANDARD, we just didn't have other sets yet, so it WOULD be Towers Standard, sets 1-6, if we were to name the format NOW. In fact, the natural progression WOULD be Towers Standard FIRST, and THEN Towers Block. You play the first block, a new set comes out, you mix and match, learn to play with the new cards, see what old ones do not work that well anymore, get acquainted to the new set, and then it's time to kiss it goodbye, so you move to Towers Block. Thn, King's Standard, so on, so forth. However, to be fair, it doesn't HAVE to be this way, in fact, you either go Block by Block or Standard by Standard. THe natural progression would be King coming in and kicking FotR out of the picture, no block involved whatsoever, but it feels smoothier (not to mention, translates into more games) this way.

Has anyone thought of doing a league the way it was done back in the day? I remember you would move from site 1-9. If you gained three wins you would move onto the next site. Each site also had a "game text" that applied while you were on the site. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about?

Race to Mount Doom? You can still find the kits occasionally.

I still have one. I laminated the site map to help preserve it. Cool idea!

If folks are interested, I can tell you want the different special rule options were.
