AMENDMENT TO TOURNAMENT CRITERIA: IMPORTANT: IMPORTANT:
The card 'Telemin Performance' is currently banned from any deck list for the tournament (for obvious reasons). Thank you to Sir Paulage for pointing out that the card is broken in this Deck Building Challenge.

I suggest a "donation" of each participating play of $10 so we can purchase something for a prize for 1st and 2nd places.

Please direct any questions to me via email!

The deadline is Friday the 22nd of April for committing and submitting your deck, name and color(s).

Good deck building! Let's have some fun.

  2. It's there Don. I had originally forgotten to add it, but I added it only a minute or so after I originally posted it.

    You must have been on the ball to even see the original omission.

    Thoughts?

    I was thinking an additional funny element to add would be to have the winner of the tournament be charged with designing the next deck tournament restrictions, or maybe whoever gets last? haha I dunno.

    Feedback please.

  3. I'd say the person to come in last should choose the rules for the next tourney. :)

  4. Nice. I was more inclined towards that outcome. So two votes for that. Any other people care to chime in?
