I've cancelled the league.

Since Type NW was popular during its inaugural season, I will continue the league for the next Redemption year!

This is a league that will run with two halves. The first half will be run from 9/1/2009 to 12/20/2009 (15 weeks w/Thanksgiving week off). The second half will be determined at a later date. Playoffs will be next May. The winners of each half will get a bye in the playoffs. Second place from the first half will play third place from the second half, and vice-versa. If a player has already qualified for the playoffs from the first half, then the next player in the standings from the second half will qualify.

So I guess the first question is, "What is Type NW?" It is both a deck-building and category version we started here in the NW. Here are the details:

Type NW deck-building
- Deck size is always 70 cards
- No dominants are allowed
- Type 1 deck-building rules apply for everything else

Type NW gameplay
- Games are allotted one hour; when one hour is reached, complete the current full turn
- Name-on-name bonus and Experience credit are both used

For league play, we will keep track of wins, losses and ties along with number of lost souls that are saved by both opponents.
- Wins = 4 points
- Ties = 2 points
- Losses = 1 point
- Total redeemed lost souls will be accumulated for all players during the season
- A player may play another player twice in a week maximum to count towards league results
- There is no limit to the number of different players you play as long as they are signed up for the league
- Please PM or email all game results to me

As you can see by the point system, players are encouraged to actually play. A player with 5 losses will rank higher than a player with a win if those are the only games played. Since games are a full hour, there's a good chance there will be some 1-0 game scores and maybe some like 10-7. Who knows?

Prizes will go to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each half. Separate prizes will be given out for playoffs.

So SIGN UP now!! Just let me know...post, PM or email.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #3 on:** July 12, 2009, 06:12:52 PM »

I'll tenatively join.

The Guardian · « **Reply #4 on:** July 12, 2009, 11:09:42 PM »

Is 70 simply a min or do decks need to be exactly 70?

I would be interested in playing this type now and then so add me to the list.

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #5 on:** July 12, 2009, 11:13:44 PM »

All decks must be exactly 70.

Master KChief · « **Reply #6 on:** July 12, 2009, 11:13:56 PM »

please add me.

STAMP · « **Reply #7 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:48:12 PM »

Still a month away, but at least that gives everyone time to incorporate TexP in their Type NW decks.

sk · « **Reply #8 on:** August 05, 2009, 03:29:31 PM »

I'll jump in. I really liked the category at Nats, and want to tune my deck now that I know the rest of the TxP.

Smokey · « **Reply #9 on:** August 05, 2009, 04:05:32 PM »

I'll join, it sounds fun

New Raven BR · « **Reply #10 on:** August 05, 2009, 04:08:25 PM »

lightningninja · « **Reply #11 on:** August 05, 2009, 04:14:17 PM »

I'm in! And I'm here to defend my nationals title!

sk · « **Reply #12 on:** August 05, 2009, 05:08:32 PM »

Ah, just when I thought I'd have a chance... ah, where are Standing in the Gap and Stronghold in the Desert when ya need 'em...

lightningninja · « **Reply #13 on:** August 05, 2009, 07:17:16 PM »

Yeah... standing in the gap would have OWNED my deck.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #14 on:** August 05, 2009, 07:26:42 PM »

I would try out this type, but I have to leave this Saturday so I won't get much play time in.

Ironica · « **Reply #15 on:** August 06, 2009, 10:26:28 PM »

I would love to join but I can never dedicate an hour of game time (don't like to plat when the wife is at home (rather be with her)). Out of curiosity though, how can you get more than 9 lost souls when there are no SOG to rescue your own?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #16 on:** August 06, 2009, 10:29:43 PM »

The Exchanger my friend, the Exchanger. Nebushasban also. ...Hmmm, NW deck idea coming to me...

I rescued 17 Lost Souls in a game during the Type NW playoffs last year.

Your opponent will have 10 LS for you to rescue. You can give them the Hopper, The Amalekite's Slave, Malcus, Captured Heroes (via Night Raid and Dungeon of Malchiah). I generated a ton of Souls to rescue by using Provisions to choose my own Women as Snares for my opponent to block with.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #18 on:** August 07, 2009, 08:49:21 AM »

Wait, 10? I thought 70 card decks had to have 9.

Huh, I fail.

I think every Type NW deck I've ever built had 10 in it! How did I ever even win a single Type NW game? I guess that's what happens when you make a 50 card deck player built something larger than 50.

Check out the very first post on the first page by Mr. Stamp.

ejberkenpas22 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 07, 2009, 09:31:33 AM »

Oh haha...thanks for pointing out the obvious! Guess I should have looked there first...anyways. This sounds like a really fun thing but I'm not sure if I'll have time...for those of you who have done this before how much time commitment does it take.

Gabe · « **Reply #23 on:** August 07, 2009, 09:47:46 AM »

As little or as much as you want. Once you have a deck you just commit an hour to a game whenever you have time and are in the mood.

adamfincher · « **Reply #24 on:** August 07, 2009, 10:02:59 AM »

so do we play on rts or at tourneys? or just with a friend down the road?
