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).

Maybe, but we can see what the majority would prefer.

Also, (@Justin) teammates?

(@Jayden) duh.

Sealed TEAMS is a lot of fun.  I played it once at a Redemption for Micah tournament.

We just used one sealed deck for each team.  That way each team started with the same cards.  I think I&J would work great for that.

Then each team got to pick 6 boosters of any foil pack (or 9 prophets, or 18 original, or 3 TxP, or 3 Disciples).  They could then split up their card pool however they wanted.  They could give all the offense to one player and all the defense to another.  They could keep the starter decks intact and just trade in the better cards they got from packs.  They could take out all the defense and replace it with offense from packs.  Whatever they thought was the best strategy.

We didn't allow any trading with any other teams, and that did probably save time.  It was a really interesting tournament and everyone seemed to really enjoy it.  I'd be glad to try it again

Speaking of which I do plan on showing up to the T2-Only for the first time.  I've wanted to come for many years, and I'm glad to finally be able to make it!

One rule for sure is that brothers cannot be team mates.

Sealed teams sounds fun! I should be there for Friday night.

What about "brothers from different mothers?"

That is a weird family tree.

I should just be honest and say that 2 Alstads can't be teammates. It's just not fair. (Tim is now part of the Alstad family and Britta still is even if her name changed)

Then I get dibs on Tim since he's a Maly

Speaking of weird...are you coming this year??? 

I know some muscle in KC. Let me know if you need some assistance in persuading the "Boss". It just wouldn't be the same without you, Matts not as much fun to pick on by himself.

They called off school today so Minnesota Type 2 players could work on their decks.

Matt told me when he sold his cards that he wouldn't be playing. Has "brother" Matt changed his mind?

Rumor has it he kept four copies of ANB and a bunch of Green Heroes from Unlimited and Prophets...

I am planing on being there!

Maybe in Minneapolis, but is Saint Paul people had to tough it out.

That is only for public school wimps.
