I would actually probably prefer a league structure than just "play games". The lockouts will be an issue, among other things.

Also, RayFrost, I'm just going to leave myself logged into BNet. Please message me when you're online. I know you have different time zone issues, as per the LoL Tournament we did, so it'll be up to you to contact me.

Blizz really needs to implement decklists in the choose your deck screen because I just got stomped in the second match because I picked the wrong pally deck :\

OP says 5 matches still haven't been played?

xRECKONERx · Post Post #158 (isolation #14) » Thu Aug 14, 2014 5:07 pm

I would assume so.

Also, I personally think Naxx epics/legendaries should be allowed. They're available to anyone, not random chance, making them essentially basic cards.

xRECKONERx · Post Post #161 (isolation #15) » Thu Aug 14, 2014 6:47 pm

Considering 700 gold is 7 rares (or more), and we allow unlimited amounts of rares, I think comparing the gold cost is pretty silly? The basis of banning epics/legendaries is that they're rarer and therefore not everyone can get them. Literally everyone can get the Naxx cards.

xRECKONERx · Post Post #162 (isolation #16) » Thu Aug 14, 2014 6:48 pm

There could conceivably be a deck that is worth 3000 gold in this tournament (30 rares, 1 rare per pack).

The entirety of Naxx costs 2800 gold.

I don't see why we're suddenly talking about gold costs.

In post 163, InflatablePie wrote:kdowns and chamber have a point with the gold costs (and so do you, Reck) but I'm more concerned about the epics/legends being vastly more powerful as cards.

Why though

Naxx epics/legendaries are equally as easy to obtain as the commons/rares

EBWOP: Unless you're concerned the meta will become "people play Maexxna Hunter decks and that's it"... but like, but limiting it to rares only, you're already favoring a certain meta, because there are definitely archetypes/classes that benefit way more from having no epics/legendaries allowed (Zoo, for example).

xRECKONERx · Post Post #166 (isolation #18) » Thu Aug 14, 2014 8:25 pm

Also as another little rant:

The format for this league sucks and basically means I don't get to play this week. Molla is gone, hasn't been online in forever. I played esurio D1 of last week. That means I will go two weeks without playing a match in this league. That's a quick way to lose interest.

Furthermore, cutting to Top 8 means why even fucking bother playing the last two weeks if you're 0-2, like me? The reason MtG leagues don't cut to Top 8 and instead do weekly points and the "play 3 matches" format is because it takes months to complete a league. If this was some basic tournament, lasting a few days? Sure, cut to Top 8. But it's a league, it's supposed to be continuous, it's supposed to be constant, and that's not how it's working out.

The format should be... play 3 people per week, gain points, Top 2 play each other in Bo5 after the last week for all the marbles. That's it. The way it stands right now, it'll be 6 weeks of this league and I'll play 3 of them.

access - not all of us have access to the naxx legendaries (which are really good cares). Arachnid quarter cards are sure, but the rest is a bit much.

Okay, and not everyone has access to all the rares. Point being?

I personally think we should set a dust budget if we're going to put limitations. Set the budget at like 3000 dust (75 commons or 30 rares or 7 epics or 1 legendary) or whatever number works, and then have that be it... because it's kind of arbitrary to set a power limit via rarity since there are definitely garbage rares and then powerful staple rares.

xRECKONERx · Post Post #180 (isolation #21) » Fri Aug 15, 2014 6:55 am

I like the idea that regular season is for standings, then do playoffs/brackets. The issue is cutting people who weren't here since they'll hold up the whole bracket.

Does anyone have an interest in continuing this? Last week, only 4 out of 12 matches got played. This week, with only about 48 hours left, 1/12 matches have been played. I'm fine to keep it going, but if nobody's gonna participate, I'd rather just shut it down and not have it looming in the back of my mind.

AGar is done, his laptop got fried and then he's running in a marathon this weekend. He told me last night he just wasn't going to be able to participate anymore.
