how will you be able to tell which set is better, without using all the cards to their fullest?
that is why i want to be able to use sites correctly.

I'm in with texp with a vote for option D

With a question tho, are you not allowed to use doms from other sets like a & b decks?

I would assume you are not, and that's one of the reasons I chose a starter deck.

I say choice D. sorry Prof A

I need to double check whether or not RTS/hamachi is working for me (I haven't tested it since downloading the new cards), and while I might be able to do it tonight, it probably won't happen until Friday. May I reserve E/F, or should I want until I know for sure?
And D. I'm fine with sites.

You can reserve it for now, but please let me know ASAP if you can't make it.

Will do. Though E is tempting, I'll stick with D.

In this case, may I change to Un/Limited/A/B Decks/Prophets with choice C

No, that has been taken. C/D is still available though, if you are interested.

Apostles, Warriors, Women, Patriarchs and Kings are also available.

I'll take Warriors. If it's ok that I don't use hamachi that is. I host RTS the old fashioned way and let people connect to me directly.

For Sites my first choice is D, my second is E.

I'll stick with texp with option D then

By the way, I would find it hilarious if I won first, since my prize would either be 1 card from the I/J starters, or an I/J starter deck.

Lol, yes I suppose that might be a difficult choice...Originally I was going to do promos as another option (in which case the first option might be enticing enough for someone to choose them) but then I ran out of spots (I wanted to keep the tournament at 16 for bracket reasons). I thought about tossing them in with Women's, but several people had already made their choices, so I thought it may be unfair.

Hey,

Do promos go with the set they were printed with or are they not used by anyone?

Does the Warriors Player get to use Goshen and Kingdoms as access sites?

Tschow,

I know we discussed Promos on the car ride back, but like I said, I forgot to include them. I'd have to look at the promo distribution, but at this point I'd say they aren't used by anyone.

I'm going to keep the Siteresses from Warriors as they are ruled now.

Since this is an elimination tournament instead of a swiss or round robin, should we try to rank the sets to get seeds?

Well, those who happened to get the better decks shouldn't get more of an advantage, I would think.  Random seeding would be best and most fair...as long as I don't draw Apostles.

As each new set comes out, several new cards are added to decks, but not all of the old cards are replaced. Some older cards have stood the test of time, despite reprints, hard counters, and the stigma of being "old". Well, now it's time to find out which set is best. Here's how it will work:

Well since the purpose of this exercise seems to be to determine the best set, I don't think its really meant to be fair.

That is ok with me, as long as you are able to explain to people who haven't done so how to do that.

It's literally no different for the opponent. I give them my IP address and they connect using the default port.

And that's all you'd have to explain. I just know that change is hard for some people...

Also, KoalaKing has texted me that he has chosen Apostles.
