Hmmm before you lock the topic, I wanted to discuss a couple of things.

1.  Illegal decks.  If your opponent plays an illegal deck.  I feel they shouldn't be allowed to just replay the match without repercussions.  I don't see a huge problem with illegal matches just being treated as a bye for the non-offender.

2.  I thought a few people became disinterested last time around after losing due to the fact they felt they had no chance.  I think this has been address by both making things random instead of swiss and the PvP parasite keeps players involved.  Correct?

3.  I thought there was a big issue with 1 loss really acting as 2 in this event.  People that were stuck mid morph, were having to try and morph out of it again the next round, even if it was a poor deck.  This really decreased the "fun" factor for each player in each round.  I don't think the 9. Mercy! rule properly addresses this situation yet.  I think it would be best if each loss reset your deck back to where you were at with the last mark completed.  If a game has not been won yet, a loss would reset to your original starter deck.  Yes, this means you need to have built a solid first deck to work from in case of early losses.  9.  Mercy!  would still be a viable rule in this situation because if people morphed into a bad deck upon gaining a new mark, they are able to call Mercy! later if they want, which would take them back to the previous deck from the previous mark.

1. I'm doing this based on my own preference. You can choose to take a bye if you want, but I'm sure that the winner will not want to keep playing with the same deck all the time.
Receiving a bye when you've already gone through the work for changing your deck is frustrating. Between this and the fact that I don't want people fussing about how they lost because of minor mistakes, I will keep replaying as an option. Otherwise, the default if the replay doesn't happen is the bye.

2. You are correct. Try hard to take down the leaders ;)

3. I see this as a non issue. This should only happen because you are thinking that only your start and end "Decks" are actual decks. This is incorrect. All 3 or more decks that you use each match are decks, and you should still try to make them as powerful as possible. You don't build a deck to lose so that you can win later. This event is so that you build a deck to win to build a deck to win to keep building decks you can win with ;)

This is true, however, anyone that played in Meta-prelaunch will tell you that at times you have to make sacrifices to optimizing your deck in order to morph.  It is oftentimes during these sub-optimal mid-decks where players get stuck and lose.  I spent 10+ hours just making decks before and still couldn't get things perfect to where I didn't have to make sacrifices.  Not everyone will win every round and this situation will occur often.

You're basically swapping out groups of cards.

Like, you have 6 frogs and 6 scorpions, which you swap out for 6 cockatrices and 6 adrenalines.

I'm not really sure where to mention this, so I thought I'd just go and say that the description on the board itself is wrong.


"Decks must have 7 different kinds of cards. Every round, players have to change their mark, and replace 2 groups of the same card with the same amount of a different card."

"Decks must have 7 different kinds of cards. "

"7"

Just pointing that out.
Strike that, reverse it.

Yeah, that was pointed out in the first run of Meta.
Only SG can change it iirc.
