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.

Details for Type 2 Only
Redemption Tournament March 1-2, 2013
Location: North Heights Lutheran Church
Arden Hills-Upper Centrum or Great Hall
1700 W. Highway 96
Arden Hills, MN 55112

Lodging: Stay overnight in the church on Friday night, doors open at at 6:00pm.
Money 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) We will be playing RESTRICTED TYPE. This Restricted Format allows up to 3 Good and 3 Evil Dominants for Type 2 Events. Restricted play will just be for Multi.
Other games available to play (bring your favorite).
After Multi is over we will play some specialty category to be determined. Could be a Perkins run.

8:00-8:30 Breakfast for those staying overnight
8:30-9:00 Registration and deck check in
9:00-7:00 Type 2-2 player (7 rounds because we want to. Since we have all these good players attending)

We will be having an Ironman Tournament on Saturday for those in attendance not 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 to win 4 new starter Decks. 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- Multiplayer, you would have a 4 in 12 chance to win the new cards. Also Championship t-shirts for the winners of each category.

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

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess I'm the first one to respond. Hahaha. But I won't be able to come. My birthday weekend and my wife would not be happy. Have fun all and think of me while you play....JK!

Specialty Category Ideas
In past years we have done T2 Sealed and T2 Booster. We have repeatedly contemplated T2 TEAMs, but have yet to come up with a way to have a TEAMs event that would finish in less than a couple of days.

This year I have two initial ideas:

1) T2 Budget Builder -- You bring a deck in that costs less than $X (X to be determined) based on Three Lions Gaming prices.

2) T2 Card Designer -- You bring or are supplied with a bunch of cards, some mailing labels, and a set of stickers. The mailing labels would each have a generic special abilities printed on them (e.g., "May band to one character of the same brigade," "Negate the last enhancement played"), while the various stickers would correspond to Warrior/Weapon/Territory class icons. Each player would be given some time to design their own deck out of these elements.

Let me know what all y'all think. If you have other ideas or have an thought on how to play T2 TEAMs in some reasonable time, post them here.

I think we can do type 2 teams this year.

Each team checks in one legal T-2 deck.
One player gets all the good cards, his teammate gets all the evil cards and they split the LS and other neutral cards.

Should go fast, you won't have to build two new type 2 decks, could split your regular deck. But you can build 1 new one if you want to take advantage of the rules.

What do you think?

Seems reasonable, I like that. Otherwise, Budget Builder would be my first option, but Card Designer is fine with me too.

I think budget builder sounds awesome

Master KChief · « **Reply #7 on:** January 07, 2013, 10:47:16 PM »

Just make Budget Builder uncommons and under. No rares or ultras. Maybe not promos as well. Adding up the values of every single card would take forever.

One month to get your decks ready for some good competition. Tim is getting a deck ready, the Guardian is back in the saddle, Gabe has been practicing and will be making the trip north, the newly wed in Wisconsin wants to teach his bride to play, college boy from Tennessee, Green Dragon blowing his Horn, and Jordan and Nathan are sitting in the weeds waiting for any out of state victims . Now if we can get the Canadians to come and that old guy from KC, we will have a full house.

Who's the college boy from TN?

Fantastic. I have your Honeymoon Suit reserved. (Sunday School room S172, complete with mattresses and your own bathroom.)

I'm sure we can get her a couple Iron man games on Saturday. Usually their are new players that come and play type one.

TheJaylor · « **Reply #13 on:** February 09, 2013, 12:07:00 PM »

Don't worry, I think S172 is one of the ones with a toilet that isn't super short.

Alright, the young guy from KC is coming. He said I could "Count" on it.

Bump/poll.

At the game night some people made a fuss about multi being restricted format, and Bill said that he would change it if that was what everyone wanted. Do you want restricted or not?

Master KChief · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2013, 07:28:56 PM »

I might want to come just because of Perkins.

TheJaylor · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2013, 10:43:00 PM »

More ideas for the special category:

Border Decks: All cards in your type 2 deck must have the same color border or we could make it two colors so that we could use a "core" color and a back-up color I guess. We'd have to hammer down which colors can go with which because a card might have a light green border and another dark green so we would need to establish which cards can be which and we can also be flexible. The greatest trouble with this would probably be the distinction between red and reddish orange.

2-Player Booster: This was suggested by TheGuardian and I'm quite fond of the idea. I think the way he was thinking was that we would draft with 4 people as usual but then instead of multi, we'd be paired up with people that weren't at the table we drafted from (or at least on the first round or something). This, being type 1, would also not have to take as long as a type 2 category so we wouldn't be up all night.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Haikus?

everytribe · « **Reply #21 on:** February 24, 2013, 12:31:35 AM »

Get your decks ready the competition is going to be the best ever. All the past winners of the type 2 shootout will be in attendance and a couple newbies, the Beer brothers will be in attendance. To bad Rawrlolsauce isn't playing this year. Some one else will have to come up with a big first round upset.

The fun starts this Friday. I will be at the church by 3:00pm.

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 24, 2013, 08:18:47 AM »

Another thought for the special category (going along--sorta--with Wild Bill's idea). What about T2 Pickem? This is multi-player, but each player divides his deck in three piles after sorting--Good, Evil, Neutral but not Souls--and then divides his souls proportionally amongst them. At any point when you are allowed to draw you get to choose which pile(s) to draw from. Just another wacky thought.

Sadly, I do not even understand what is being asked by this question. What is "restricted format" for T2-MP and why would/wouldn't I want to have it?

The Guardian · « **Reply #23 on:** February 24, 2013, 01:13:44 PM »

Restricted format means you may only have up to 3 good and 3 evil dominants in your deck.

TheHobbit13 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 24, 2013, 01:19:27 PM »

I would rather not have restricted format as it is not consistent with other tournaments offering the category. In my opinion optional rules should only be allowed for fun games.
