I'll get on putting up the final standings for the past ROOT tomorrow, but signup is open for April ROOT now.  Signups will last for a week.

Pick me!

Forgot to comment on rule changes   

I really liked the 10-card opening hand rule.  Thanks to a bye and a ghost, I only played 2 actual games, but the 10-card hand did what I expected:  It advanced the game and put more LS in play for both players.  In the absence of a mulligan rule, I like this as an alternative.

Also, I would like to re-nominate Justin's idea for a rule change for April ROOT - no NJ, no FA, no Liner LS.

I'll play. I liked the 10 card opening except for one thing--the fact that if someone (myself included) is using a 50 card deck w/ Hopper, they have nearly 1/4 of their deck in the opening hand, which makes the game feel like a draw race again. I think a 10 card opening with a 56 card minimum would be interesting to try. Ironically even with the 10 card limit, I still got soul droughted in my last game vs Red (my Gideon's Call and Awake LS got buried in my last 3 cards).

I would also still be interested in trying the "No NJ, FA or Liner" option.

NJ and FA more or less cancel each other out but that means a player pretty much has to use them both in order to not be at a huge disadvantage. Cutting them both should lead to more variety in dominant selection.

I'm in.....i'm good with the 10.....however, I would be for a no FA or Liner, but I want NJ!

If FA goes, NJ needs to go too.  Have you ever played with a NJ ban?  The games are much better IMHO 

you play one game every week, correct?

Correct.

I'd be up for any rule alterations.

Signup ends today.  Am I correct that people are wanting the NJ, FA, Liner ban this month?

I would like those 3 cards banned for this ROOT session.

Seconded.

Eventhough I don't like the idea of losing NJ....it might be kind of interesting....I'm in.
