Weekly Tournament - August 9th - The Shoe Cobblers Dilemma - Unupgraded

[Submachine]

The shoe cobbler works very hard everyday to create shoes for all of the creatures of elements, but he is extremely busy and can never finish enough sets of shoes for everyone. As long as all of the shoes he makes are used he is happy, but if any go to waste he will retire early from the business. In contrast if more creatures need shoes then he can make, he will retire early.

Special thanks to mathman101 for coming up with the Trials Phase 1 winner idea.

Tournament Organizer Note

If you think that there is an overpowered card that should be banned, don't say it publicly in the comments. Instead, send them to Submachine and Dm1321, who will privately discuss whether the card is really OP or not. Any comments about possible card combos will be deleted on sight.

Congratulations for the winners!

This tournament is TrO approved!

[dragonsdemesne]

But, but... nymphs have legs.  Very nice legs.  Mmm.... nymphs...

Seriously, though, very neat idea.  Not yet sure how the meta will play out yet on this one.  I can think of a couple good decks off the bat, and there are some neat choices to be made in terms of how to reach 30 legs with a legal deck.

[dark ripper]

I like the idea but its 6am. Perhaps Ill try but yeah, 6 am

[Submachine]

Added Deck Checker tool in the second post.

I suppose we can use cards that are not on the list, alright? those that are not banned.

[farscape]

This is a really fun idea, but I don't get how purple dragon and bone dragon counts as 0 legs -- they quite visible have legs on the pictures. The black dragon is OK for no legs.

[Lost in Nowhere]

This looks like it would be quite fun, but, at the time that it is, I would be completely unable to participate.

[mathman101]

wow, what a creative tourney idea whoever thought of it must be really smart 

Hopefully I can make it to this as long as I get off work early enough.

[glennfoo]

just found out graboid lose 2 legs when they involve

Yes, everything is allowed, that is not banned.

This is a really fun idea, but I don't get how purple dragon and bone dragon counts as 0 legs -- they quite visible have legs on the pictures. The black dragon is OK for no legs.

Bone Dragon has ribs, but no legs, while Purple Dragon is a bit trickier. After a bit of thinking, we decided that the purple dragon uses its tail to stand on. While we could easily see them go down on the other 6 limbs and crawl to attack, they're not built like long-term legs.
