Idk, faeries wasn't THAT good. Our games were super close, and I'm playing a bunch of ball lightnings... The deck isn't too oppressive either. I do agree that it's very aggressive for a controlling deck, but I think we could give it another try before bannings.
As of right now, the "solved" decks in the meta are our two:
Lorwyn-M10 standard: UB Faeries And RB Ball lightnings
Nothing else that I played with or against looked bad, but none of it looked incredible either. There are more improvements to be made for sure. That's another reason why we should wait for banning faerie stuff. Just wait for the other decks to catch up. And they will, I promise.

So how would one go about having a tournament for this format? Because I'd like to try out this for myself, but idk exactly how.

@Ashockfan, You're right, faeries do need more testing before bannings. However I do believe it is even stronger than the tournament proved, cause I piloted the deck pretty badly and made a bunch of misplays.

We should set up another tournament, except all decks that lost in the 1st round can't be played. We need to narrow down the meta for the format.
Also, round robin is a much better play style for testing as it allows each deck to see how it competes against each other deck, instead of just playing against one deck it may be particularly crappy against.

So... Um... Kamigawa standard is fucking insane... DIBS. Also, anyone wanna brew it with Me? Soooooo many busted cards that can be built around. I have 6 deck ideas and I'm not even done going through all the cards...

Also... We forgot to ban eggs...
RIP the next tourni I play in :P

Discord is a website where you can join different rooms. Once in a room, there are channels of typing (like untap) and then speaking too. So a lot of streamers or youtubers that want to colab with others talk through discord. We have one for Tappedout, and every once in a while people use it to brew as a group
Heres the link: https://discordapp.com/channels/165248854499917824/165248854499917824

Also.... We need more bannings in Kamigawa Standard. I know it needs testing but i'm going to be terrorizing your tournis for the next couple times....
Eggs is legal
Jitte is legal
SWORDS are legal
Theres another monored deck to be built there
And a couple secrets that I'm trying to brew up... one of which uses a card that's banned in modern but not banned here :P

Ah, yes. Jitte should get the hammer. We don't need to test that. Few formats can deal with Jitte.

Its hilarious how now 10 cards are banned from Kamigawa/Mirrodin Standard... and I think theres at least 2-3 more that should go...
April 11, 2016 8:36 p.m.
OH... NVRMND. Theres Definitely 3 more that need to be banned. Forgot one of those cards was a thing in this standard. I'll keep what it is to myself so I can wreck a tourni with it, but....yea. I'm now playing with 2 different cards banned in modern :P

I'm on for doing a second tournament. Now let me just think of a good deck...
@TheRedGoat, we have done all of our testing and tournaments so far on untap.in, and if you want to test, then you can sign up for the second tournament we are talking about right now!

So are we prebanning Jitte? cuz I currently have 4 in my deck xD I need to cut like 8 cards so just wanna know if the Jittes are gonna be 4 of them.
Not based off my deck at all, I think we SHOULD actually test Jitte. It's absurd, but I've been finding a lack of random Curve Filler Creatures to utilize it with. Haven't tried the Mono white Beatdown with Jitte and Swords yet... that doesn't sound fun

Ashockfan My friend Ghostfire64 (he's pretty inactive online) and I regularly test Kamigawa block decks, and in literally any deck, whoever gets Jitte first wins. Granted, these are in Kamigawa block constructed, but we have tested Jitte in these decks against more competitive decks/formats. Jitte is always overwhelming.
April 11, 2016 11:06 p.m.
Well, That's true. However Kamigawa isn't a very good block in general just based on powerlevel, so I'm skeptical. My deck seems busted currently (still need to cut 6 cards) even though I know I'm building this wrong :P

Are we changing the banlist right away to include jitte?
AwesomeName says... #1
Yup. The first tournament we had definitely gave us some good testing and ideas for the ban list (sorry faeries, but something's gotta go). Speaking of this, we should try to have our second tournament soon. Lotrboom28 - we will definitely test the decks you mentioned!
