I’d probably be in as well, depending on the timing.
Started playing this last weekend and I’ve been having a great time playing a modified version of the starter green/black saproling deck. It’s great fun to win games by sacrificing your own creatures to deal damage directly to the opponent.
It’s the saproling deck I dreamed of when I built one out of Fallen Empires cards way back when…
Direct challenge is now available, which is cool, though I misunderstood what it was. I thought it was gonna be a full ‘friends’ system. Nope, nothing like that.
Anyway, I’m charmtrap#99093 if anyone wants a game.
It’s a popup box where you type in the person’s ID and select a deck and then send the challenge. As far as I can tell, you can’t even save the IDs of the people you challenge.
Yeah, my understanding is it’s very rudimentary, and just a temporary stand-in for the full friend’s list functionality they hope to add… eventually.
I think anything is better than nothing, especially since it allows friends to play whatever jank they want against each other. Singleton? Sure. No instants? Why not?
I’m papacheepa#92333 if you want to send challenges my way. I should be on later tonight!
If we’re challenging each other, should we be expecting the best possible (e.g., Tier 1) deck unless otherwise decided in advance? Or is there some etiquette between friends to only play the precons or something like that?
I’m hoping people will feel free to play with what makes them most comfortable. Personally I’m going to brew up a janky deck for the competition, and I encourage everyone who wants, to do the same.
I was just assuming no one here would have the cards for a super efficient deck. But the Swiss format means that the good players/decks should end up playing each other and everyone will get matched against at least one person they could win against.
Hi guys! I am Slimpshady one of red51ve friends. New to this forum and to MTG. So probably there for body count in the tourney but it should be a fun way to learn more
