Manalink Vintage Competition (winners posted)
Posted: 19 Apr 2010, 12:26
I'd like to run a Vintage competition using Manalink. Since the online play is way too buggy, it's going to be a competition against the AI. Here's what I had in mind:
Everyone that wants to complete submits a vintage-legal deck to me via PM. After the submission deadline, I will create a zip of all those decks plus 3 of my own. I will then use the gauntlet mode to run each deck against a random gauntlet of submitted decks. Whichever deck does the best wins!
Prize: I'll code the card of your choice (if possible)
Rules:
1) 1 submission per person (All but your last entry will be ignored)
2) Decks must be vintage legal

3) Deck name should be in the format "Vintage_YOURNAME_DECKNAME"
4) When you submit your deck, let me know if you want to earn 5 points by helping with scoring (see part 3 below)
5) I'll only run the contest if I get 5 or more submissions
6) Submissions are due by April 26th
7) Only use cards that are in the main version of manalink (not limited or custom)
Scoring:
1) I'll run the decks through a 10-game gauntlet. You score 1 point for each round I win.
2) You score 5 bonus points any time your deck beats me in a gauntlet! So perhaps Dredge and Tendrils aren't the best choices, since the AI stinks at them
3) You score 5 points more if you also test all the decks in the gauntlets and record the results (including which decks beat you). The results that all the competitors get will be averaged, and added to the score.
4) Ties will be broken by running the top-scoring decks through a 20-round gauntlet. If it's still tied after that, both decks win.
Have fun, deck submissions begin now!
