After some thinking and reading your input, this is the plan for next weeks.

Constructed leagues will be one serie. They will last 11 days and number of games allowed will be 13 per player. Of course overall classification prizes will go down (because you can play 3 leagues in time you played one before). Prize details will be announced soon.

League formats:
- starting 27.12.2012: War of the Ring Standard, Non-Collector's
- starting 07.01.2012: Towers Standard, Non-Collector's
- starting 18.01.2012: Fellowship Block, Collector's
- starting 29.01.2012: Expanded, Non-Collector's
- starting 09.02.2012: Reflections Standard (sets 1-9), Collector's

The reason for a bit of break from Collector's is that I want to give you time to get used to new merchant and whatever tweaks (if any) to it are needed. Afterwards I plan to alternate Collector's and Non-Collector's as before.

Will the Fellowship block league start today, as scheduled?

Since it looks like hsiale is indisposed, maybe someone else could temporarily take over league organization? League play is the most attractive form of the organized play and many of us are experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms.

In absence of hsiale, I have added 3 next leagues as he has planned, with just a slight dates slip.

It would be a nice idea, if the Sealed Leagues could profit from some kind of promo - maybe even a Virtual Promo. Back in the days, some tournaments received special promo cards (you guys know this, but oh well). So it would make for a nice change if it could be implemented here. I'd prefer this for Sealed, not everyone has a constructed deck (yet).

Looking at the prize support for league events, I see the payout for constructed is a lot less than it is for collector's. Does this really make sense? If you have a good deck for collector's, than clearly you already have a good card collection, you don't necessarily need a big payout. But a bigger payout in constructed could lead to people who place well being able to transition to collector's.

I suggest, at a minimum, that both of those league types have the same payout.

Or that collectors has a greater payout of promos maybe?
(Also solves the promos availability problem)

The idea behind this difference is simple - you invest less (buying cards), you gain less.

That just turns it into a rich man's game. You excel based not on your skill, but based on the size of your wallet.

This would make some sense, except that how much we invest is not our choice.  At the moment the people in first have all the cards and therefore win all the "my cards" tournaments, leaving any newcomer very little chance of catching up.

Can you give more booster packs for next Serie in Fellow Sealed?
IMO Serie 1 is so boring because we get only 2 decks and not enough b.packs :/

I think the sealed leagues are great as they are! I like that everyone starts with basically the same deck: it shows true skill if you can consistently win.  There is an element of luck, too, but adding in more boosters would make it worse.  In the last (movie) sealed league, I only played 1 card from my boosters, There and Back Again, for the first serie, but still won 7 of my 10 games.  Made me feel like a boss 8-)
