If it is not too late,here is my deck.
Jatill will the new update lock the cards,because if it is like that,then I won't compete in this tournament.I don't want to be a pain in the ass,asking you all the time to unlock the cards for me! :wink:
I am trying to win the challenges,it is a lot of fun,but my stubbornness in some cards and decks,also that I don't like to use help... so I am still at the beginning!
TOURLOU is my first choise.

Yes Cognis I will make pairings when I get home I am out of the house for another 5 hours and can not do it now. Tuesday is a really crappy day for me in time constraints.

Well I had to make minor modifications to quite a few decks a few had cards that were on the banned list or were one card short they were replaced with a basic land that the deck already had.

One had one card too many so I just removed one basic land randomly.

Please in the future double check the banned list and read the exact amount of cards your deck should have.

Anyways here is the deck list file:

The end of round 1 is on the 14th of October I am making the thread now. Once again you will be docked 2 points from your final round total if you do not report by midnight PST on that date.

Sorry I had to change the 2 additional decks yet again they had a lot of banned cards in them and I was missing a few.

Here are the new lists they should be fully legal.

My deck seems to be missing there, monopoman. I sent it to you on Sunday and I hope there weren't too many banned cards in there - the banned list was basically what's in the first post + wishes + ante cards, right?

Did I do something wrong or why didn't my deck get onto the tournament?

monopoman, I would also be fine with putting Stroggoii into the tourney in place of your second deck. These tourneys are for fun and it stinks to build one and not get to play with it.

Some notes on the games:

Apparently Mirri, Cat Warrior + Sword of Fire and Ice is a busted combo in Manalink. I got to draw 2 cards + deal 2 * 2 damage every turn. I was going to win that game regardless due to forestwalk, but it was something I had to debug to play in a more reasonable way.

Also this tourney showed me that Clone + Mogg Fanatic = broken combo in Manalink.

The game where I dug for Genesis in the sliver deck I only got to use Genesis once. I paid 2G to return some random sliver one time and then it just disappeared and wasn't even in the exile zone. It didn't impact the game because I was constrained by Blood Moon anyway, but something else to note.

Nic Danger: game 2 and game 3 from your report are close to the ideal way I hoped for my deck to play out. Isamaru -> equipment -> mana denial. My general does not like the late game and you definitely do not need other creatures after Isamaru; they are more like a plan B.

Cognis: the match I played with your deck was heavily influenced by the Blood Moon effects. There were 0 games that had an opportunity to cast Sliver Queen (for or against). Frankly this was the most lopsided matchup in my opinion which is just another reason I'd like to see Stroggoii play against you :P

Jatill: I noticed you and I made a lot of similar choices, except you have more of the Soldiers where I have mana denial.

I have no problem with Stroggoii taking place of the Sliver deck. The result of the match-up depends heavily on can I play Blood Moon and can slivers play Worship so as for me Stroggoii can take the slivers place. I just hope it doesn't bite me on the ass :D

@juzamjedi-
I've noticed a lot of new bugs while paying this tournament, too. I guess we're seeing different interactions than we did with old legacy tournaments.

Also, I love Robert Frowney Jr too :)

*Great disadvantage in EDH games that AI doesn't get the generals rule 21p
beat.I saw that in 3 games AI doesn't block the general and lose a creature since it has more than enough regular life.(40 AI life in 1 game I won).
Just no fair for poor AI.
I think EDH is AI's cemetery.I don't think we will see many AI wins.
