The best way to do 12 is probably:

3 groups of 4, top 2 in each group advance.

3rd places play a round-robin. Top 2 advance.

Proceed from round of 8. Aka Copa America style.

You can also introduce DRAWS! to make the 2nd round robin not even necessary!

I like the idea bro put forward minus the draws. I think draws are the worst part of competitive magic.

Alternatively, you can just do a tiebreak among the 3rd-placers based on games won/lost.

So, like:

Top 2 advance out of each group.

3rd placers are ranked first on total number of points (should be 6 or 3), then on individual game wins.

In the case of a tie there, then there's a playoff.

edit: win=3 points, in case the 6/3 doesn't make sense to someone

Yeah either way ending up with 8 after some sort of whittling down and then going single elimination from there is ideal. Actually just getting to 16 and going double elim is ideal but it looks like we're not going to get there.

/in need to grind some cards though.
Predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optimism to have posed the question in the first place.
