NBE (hopefully for January '07)

This event will be a chaos-magic event. Decks must be Legacy-legal (or possibly Vintage... though I think this will be ruled out). Here's the low-down, straight from a recent email:

"Our next big event will be a tournament where each round consists of a few
chaos games. Points in these games will be earned in the usual way of
surviving opponents, as well as by being the player to kill opponents.
This second part should encourage players to actually kill each other, and
will keep the speed of the games somewhat high.

"The twist is the following: you don't have to use the same deck in each
round. In fact, each player may bring as many decks as they desire, and
can switch decks as they se fit between rounds.

"Points earned are cumulative. The player with the most points at the end
of all the rounds wins!"

I have gotten some questions about the format. I post the answers here:

You: Is the format Chaos as in Chaos-Rob-Chaos-God?

Me: No.

You: When is the tourney?

Me: Hopefully in January.

You: What are restrictions on deck construction?

Me: It will either be Vintage or Legacy. Please feel free to discuss! I'd love to make it Vintage, but I'm afraid of it being too broken:(

You: What happens if a player wins due to some card's effect?

Me: Then everyone who was alive just before that card's effect is considered to die "to that card". Points are allocated appropriately.

You: Can we make it Highlander?

Me: I'd actually like to have as few deck restrictions as possible. So... let's say no, even if it would normally make things more chaotic.

I'll answer additional questions in further comments.
