Tournament Organizers 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 is this posted so late and wasn't a completely different tournament supposed to happen?
A: It was, but we didn't post it in time and at this point I think it unreasonable to use rules other than speedbuilding (plus Ryli never disclosed the details of it to me so i dont know the exact rules of the one that was supposed to happen either, find out next week I guess), chances are everyone is going to speedbuild anyway. I apologize that we are consistently late with these, hopefully we'll soon have another TO. I encourage you to apply!
Q: How did you modify the table?
A: I just took out some of the rules that force slow or very specific decks (one for each column, to be precise The Slow, The Sixer and The Broken), maybe we can get some ideas for proper replacements and maybe you actually like some of them and would want them back?
