Tournament Organizer Note

If you think there is an overpowered card that ought to be banned, or you have some concerns about the tournament metagame, mechanics or other stuff, do NOT post it publicly in the comments or anywhere else on the Forums. Instead, send a private message to Tournament Organizers, who will privately discuss about it. Thanks for your cooperation.

TOURNAMENTS Q&A

Q: Why did it take so long to post this? Is this tournament official?
A: We TOs are busy in the holidays and expect the same to apply to most of you. This tournament happens at an irregular time and will be hosted by Masterwalks and Insignificantweeaboo. I will hand out rewards so long as you get at least 4 players. The next tournament will be upgraded as if the rotation skipped this week.
