Cactus Web Site special offer: Orders over $75 will receive a free Angel of God 2023 National Promo card while supplies last.
I know this is a dumb question, but is preregistration possible this year? If so, I'd like to do it.
Will the new participant promos be tournament legal at Nats? Meaning once you receive a set for completing a category can you put then in your deck for the next one?
If you voted for 2 player booster then you are a Liberal. Change my mind.
Even though I abhor our 'PC' culture, yes, our posts were joking. You could easily swap liberal for the other side and it could still work (maybe even more so). I made my stance on 2p vs Mp booster some time ago, so I won't go digging that up. It's just a shame that my favorite category is being warped into something else. But I won't make a big deal out of it if the majority leans that way. If both were offered it would be perfect, but I'm not too interested in making the trip to nats to play something I don't enjoy.

Change my mind.Jehoshaphat....Imo, 2-player booster is better when there are inexperienced players in the field, and multi boost is better when everyone knows what to do (and can remember what to do Ryan). If that doesn't change your mind I'll your dip your Leviathan collection in Tartaros sauce and make you eat it.
Alright everyone,We have some big news I meant to present before today, but at least it is here now. We want to see what you want to do during our Type 1 day on Friday. There are multiple ideas on what can be done, but want to give everyone a voice and have them discuss what they would like to do and get a feel for people for people who have dealt with the current ideas. So we have 5 ideas for how we could finish out they Type 1 tournament.1) X rounds of Swiss, just like was done before we started top cut, and what every non-National tournament uses.2) X rounds of Swiss then top cut X people. This is what we have done currently.3) X rounds of Swiss then top cut X people, but finish on Saturday. This is basically the way we play now but the difference would be that this allows the people who top cut to unwind, relax, sleep and recharge before playing the most important and possibly stressful games the next day.4) X rounds of Swiss then top cut X people, play best 2/3 on Saturday. So this continues the opportunity to allow the top cut people to sleep and refocus, but allows us to implement the 2 out of 3 system. This would have to go to the next day due to the amount of time it would take.5) X rounds of Swiss then top cut X people, play double elimination on Saturday. This was a brand new idea that we liked and wanted to see what others thought. Again, it gives everyone a chance to sleep and rest, then allows at least 2 games per person that top cut, and allows them to have "one off game" and still have a chance to win.
The real question for me is if we do a 2day option does it mean who ever makes it cant play in Saturday's categories or will it take place before

Why can't top cut go until 11pm on Friday night with (option #4)? All the people that make top cut stay up late anyways and go out to eat. Then they can play on Saturday. If you want to extend it to Saturday it should be double elimination AND 2/3 right?
I'm not sure I like the idea of anyone who wants to do well in T12P having to be okay with not playing Teams/Multi/Sealed. It means that anyone who's excited for Saturday's categories (and/or they stand a chance at doing well for RNRS) has incentive to not play to their best ability on Friday, which is something that I think we want to avoid. On the other side of the spectrum, I for one know I would be very put out if my Teams partner and I were planning decks/strategies beforehand and he managed to make top cut. I'd be happy for him but at the same time be incredibly disappointed that we didn't get to play Teams together.In principle I love 4 and 5, but I'm not sure I like this suggestion for implementing them.
