October NBE!

First round of voting:

Restrict cards for the event by their casting cost (OneCC, or variants) or by their commonality (peasant). Please indicate who you are when voting.

Vote!

1) Casting Cost

2) Commonality

I'll vote for casting cost. That puts the tally at:

Casting Cost: 1

Rarity: 0

rarity cost!

Unknown said...

i mean, casting cost!

Kyle said...

Tally:

Casting Cost: 2

Rarity: 2

It's tied! Keep voting! (Also, which Robert is that?)

Kyle said...

BTW, if we do OneCC, no casting costs will be banned. I'd really like to break that format!

Anonymous said...

For rarity-based formats, what's the ruling on cards like Rule of Law that have been both rare and uncommon? Anyway my vote is for casting cost right now.

Kyle said...

Scott,

in the past, we've gone with using the last-printed rarity as the actual rarity.

Also, tally:

Casting Cost: 3
Rarity: 2

cc

really think you should reconsider your hybrid cost policy

Ben Allen said...

Rarity!

OneCC's been done, and there aren't that many competitive options. I REALLY don't want to see that format broken.

Anonymous said...

Remember that we are not deciding the full format here, only the stipulation of rarity vs. cc, so even if you think that something is old and boring, you've yet to realize how crazy this event is going to be.

Kyle said...

Tally:

Casting Cost: 4
Rarity: 3

This is a really heated conversation! I love it!

I'll throw in another pitch for casting cost, since it's SO CLOSE right now. kdog (Kevin) is right in that it won't necessarily be OneCC (there will be another round of voting). Even OneCC would be greatly different, though, since we will abandon our previous restrictions. It's been, like, 2 or 3 years since we last ran OneCC; a lot of new cards are out there!

Honestly, it'd be cool if we could do a hybrid of both events. For example, what if each person has to build 2 decks. One deck is a peasant deck-- a deck containing only commons, and the second deck would be restricted by CC. When you'd go to play someone, you'd roll a die. 1-3 would be your peasant deck, and 4-6 would be your OneCC deck. That way, we have best of both worlds, and each person would have to build a peasant deck and a OneCC deck that would have to be able to compete against each other. VOTE YES!

I'd say Casting cost. Got a deck worked out and everything...

I am a fan and champion of the peasant highlander format, but to me it's just so easy to win that there's no challenge. If you guys would like, the format for the Kevin Chudyk 5k annual tournament can be peasant highlander. More info about that tournament here: http://snipurl.com/3s56w

Ben Allen said...

Kevin, you are the worst person on the planet.





(Yes, I clicked on your link)

Kyle said...

Final Tally:

Casting Cost: 5
Rarity: 3

Next issue will be in a new post...

Kyle said...

I lied, the next issue will be posted here:

Vote between the following options. Use Approval Voting (vote for as many options as you like). No lists! (If you say "this first, then this second... I'm only taking your top option.)

Options:

A) OneCC
B) TwoCC
C) HighlanderCC (you can only have one card of each CC in your deck (aside from basic lands).)
D) HybridCC (Choose a Hybrid CC. All cards must either have that hybrid CC or must have an option from that hybrid. 2(G/W)(G/W) can use Northern Paladin, but not Venomous Breath!)

Voting ends on Wednesday!

I will vote for OneCC. Tally:

OneCC: 1
TwoCC: 0
HighlanderCC: 0
HybridCC: 0

Go Vote!

Anonymous said...

I vote TwoCC, just because I already have a deck in mind.

Kyle said...

Current Tally:

OneCC:2
TwoCC:2
HighlanderCC: 1
HybridCC: 1

Unknown said...

Oh, this is Rob Sheldon by the way.

Tony said...

oneCC is still my favorite option at this point.

Unknown said...

Ben Allen said...

Anonymous said...

Kyle said...

Sorry I didn't tally it sooner:

Final Tally (should have been up Thursday morning!):

OneCC:3
TwoCC:2
HighlanderCC: 1
HybridCC: 1

Next things next: We need to pick a Sunday for our OneCC tourney! :)

Feel free to suggest things, but we'll probably do most of the figuring out via email... More soon! :-D

Unknown said...

I don't think you talley'd up correctly kyle...

Shouldn't it be like this?:


OneCC:3
TwoCC:3
HighlanderCC: 4
HybridCC: 3

Unknown said...

oh wait...voting ended on wednesday...

Thats lame though, HighlanderCC should have won!

Anonymous said...

Is there a banned/restricted list? Are we allowing a certain number of proxies?

Kyle said...

Good question!

First: There is no banned/restricted list, other than the current Legacy restrictions. This is the banned list we will use.

Second: No proxies. I think we'll have more interesting decks without them.

:)
