Calling all Type 2 players within 15 hours driving distance of MN or willing to fly in. Best tune up for National. Type 2 is a lot of fun right now. No dominant deck type, lots of options for good decks. It’s cold now in Minnesota but by March 13, it will be plenty warm.

Details for the 10th Annual Type 2 Only
Redemption Tournament March 13 - March 14, 2015
Location:  North Heights Lutheran Church
 Arden Hills- Upper Centrum
 1700 W. Highway 96
 Arden Hills, MN   55112

Lodging:  Stay overnight in the church on Friday night, doors open at 6:00pm.
Money is available to help with traveling expenses for anyone traveling from outside the great state of Minnesota.  The last couple years we have had a number of people fly in.
Cost:  Free
Pizza, pop, etc… will be available for purchase.

Tentative schedule:
Friday:  7:00    Type 2-Multiplayer (2-3 rounds depends on numbers and how late everybody wants to play)
Other games will be available to play (bring your favorite).
After Multi is over we will play some specialty category to be determined.(Winning prize will be the only signed Buckler Promo in existence)  Of course there is always a Perkins Run.
 
 8:00-8:30   Breakfast for those staying overnight
 8:30-9:00   Registration and deck check in
 9:00-6:00   Type 2-2 player, 6 rounds (5 was too few, 7 was too many so 6 it will be)

We will be having an Ironman Tournament on Saturday for both those in attendance not playing Type 2 and those in attendance playing Type 2. Winner will receive prizes.

Besides normal prizes for a local tournament: 1, 2 & 3rd place winners of Type 2-2 player and Type-2 Multiplayer will get a chance for a special prize. 1st place in each category will get three chances, 2nd place two chances and 3rd place one chance. So if you won Type 2-2 player and placed 3rd in Type 2-Multiplayer, you would have a 4 in 12 chance to win the 4 Ultra-Rares in The Early Church Set.

If you are planning on staying overnight send me a PM so we can plan for you.
Any questions contact Bill Voigt (everytribe)

I will certainly be there. Just have to make sure I don't get scheduled to work.

Sourish category idea: Sealed or Booster Draft Teams.

I think he might have meant the 4 Ultra-rares.

Aren't there only three unique Dominants in The Early Church?

Wild Bill has the only known copy of the ludicrous rare Buckler Dominant. Apparently he plans to give it away this year.

What is "The Buckler Dominant"

Buckler

Good Dominant

Increase selected Red Brigade Hero in battle 0/2 until end of battle.

Who owns it, and how do I get one? About how much is it worth? How many exist today?

That would've been so cool if that card were real Thanks jbeers825...

How valuable is it?

Not anymore,  I traded a complete set of secrets on "How not to win NATS" for it.

CountFount I traded you the original art work, Gabe is correct, I still have the only signed copy of the Buckler Promo. By the way I read your book, "How to whine at NATS", are you sure your daughter didn't write it.

I will certainly be there. Just have to make sure I don't get scheduled to work.

Sourish Special category idea: Sealed or Booster Draft Teams.

I think it should be Sealed Teams. Winners will get the Buckler Promo ripped in half. It wouldn't be fair if anybody ever got to use it in a tournament.

Guessing you were going with "Special" 

Sealed TEAMS:

Cost would be $10 but players can provide their own starters and packs and play for free. (Players would also need to provide their own sleeves. I will trade pack for pack if someone doesn't have the right packs they would like to use.)

Each team either gets the H and J deck or the G and I deck.

Each team member gets to pick 1 pack from the following groupings--

Apostles/Patriarchs/Angel Wars

Priests/Kings

TexP/Disciples/Early Church

Teammates can trade any cards from the starter decks or packs between themselves.

Normal TEAMS rules in effect.

Any thoughts?

And teams can choose to trade with their first opponent(s), right?

Also, there should purposely be a site limit as in typical Sealed. 1 per team, perhaps?

I feel like we could just give teams 5 minutes to figure their own cards, 5 minutes to trade with the other team, and 5 to finalize their deck (including sleeving and getting it set to be checked). That only 15 minutes and we have ALL night (except, ya know, Perkins).

No sites is also fine with me, we can take a vote I guess. My vote will probably be no sites.

Also, (@Justin) teammates?
