LBE: Last Big Event

Hey gang,

I mentioned that I would put up a blog post for discussion/voting in case I got too many emails. Well, I got too many in the first day, and I should have put this up right away. In any case, it's up now :-P

Right now we have 2 options for our Next Big Event, which will likely be the Last Big Event I host here at BU. It is a constructed PEASANT event, and it will be one of the following two options:

CYOS---The original option: Choose Your Own Standard. Here you have to choose two (chronologically) neighboring blocks and a core set that neighbors at least one of them. Note that this doesn't exactly correspond to a given standard at one point in time, because, for example, Coldsnap is in the Ice Age block instead of mixed in with Time Spiral.

BYOS---Build Your Own Standard. Here you choose any two blocks and any core set and build your deck from that card pool.

There are a few more restrictions: First, all blocks must adhere to those block bannings. (Located here.) Second, for BYOS, players may not pick Core Sets before Revised (so no Alpha, Beta or Unlimited). Finally, the rarity of a card is determined by the rarity in the set you choose. This matters for cards like Loxodon Warhammer (uncommon in Mirrodin, but rare in 9th and 10th).


Please choose between either CYOS or BYOS and vote here on this blog (even if you already emailed me your vote). Feel free to explain your choice and harass others for their choices :-P Please leave your name or something so I know who you are (no multi-voting, KC!).

Sweet! :) Happy Magicking!
