Tappedout Third League SignUps CLOSED
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on Aug. 11, 2015, 10:02 a.m. by xzzane
CanadianShinobi, ThisIsBullshit, and I will be doing three more leagues for everyone! The first league will be in the Modern format, the second will be in the Standard format, and the third league will be in the legacy format. When the league starts, you are to report all match records to the wall of the user that is in charge of your specific league. So if you are in the modern league, report your results to CanadianShinobi. If you are in the standard league, report your results to me, xzzane, and all legacy players should report their results to ThisIsBullshit.All of the leagues will start and end at the same time. CanadianShinobi is in charge of the modern league, I am in charge of the standard league, and ThisIsBullshit is in charge of the legacy league. All standard rules of each format will apply.
Sign-ups will close on September 12th, at which point play will begin. I will produce the brackets and results sheets dont worry about that! To sign up, state what format(s) you are interested in playing as well as what time zone you live in. This is to generate brackets that will make things easier for people to complete their matches. Matches will be completed through a use of either Untap.in, Cockatrice, XMage, or any other way of completing your matches that is agreeable to both players.
The general layout will be the same; I will randomise all players into brackets. Everyone aims to play everyone else in the bracket. Matches are to be scheduled on your own, at your own convenience. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss or for not playing a match. In order to schedule matches you can comment on peoples walls or private message them.
If you want to take part then just comment below specifying whether you want to sign up for the standard league, modern league, legacy league or a combination thereof. Note that all matches will have to be played, so don't stretch yourself too thin!
You may use only one deck. This is a competitive tournament. Once you have decided which deck to enter, make sure either I, CanadianShinobi, or ThisIsBullshit know what it is. You can do ths by either by tagging us in the COMMENTS section of the deck (NOT description), or by just linking it on any of our walls. Deck lists may not change after the deadline.
In order to make things more interesting, CanadianShinobi, ThisIsBullshit, and I have decided to grant a reward of five feature tokens to the overal winner of each league. Note: Only one winner can get the tokens per league, not per bracket. There will be a winner's bracket that will follow the first bracket to determine who wins the feature tokens. Points WILL NOT carry over into the winner's bracket. This is to prevent circumstances where multiple people drop out of one bracket and make it impossible to win overall compared to another person's bracket. Another rule that we have decided to implement is one to help motivate people to play. If you have not completed at least half of your matches by the halfway point of the league, then you will be eliminated from the league. Extra time to complete this league will be granted in order to accommodate this new rule. All of the leagues will start September 12th. Upon the league's start, you will have three months to finish all of your matches, with the first part of the leagues ending on December 12th. The winner's bracket will then be announced once the first part of the league is done.
So in other words: DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CANT ACTUALLY PLAY.

I'd want to play Standard and Modern. I'll be in Toronto on September 12th, so my time zone will be EDT and EST from November on, if I'm not mistaken. If the Matches actually take until December 12th and I should qualify for the winner's brackets, I am back in Germany from December 23rd, so we have some new weird time variable there. That's CEST then.

I really like what you're doing, and I'd really like to play. However I think the starting time of 12th September is suboptimal, given BFZ releases only 2 weeks later. How about you start the league 12th of October so we can use the BFZ cards and actually play in the new meta. I'm 100% sure BFZ will have cards that see play in Modern. Maybe consider that :)
Or maybe even wait until PT BFZ is over (16-18 October).

Putrefy makes a good point. Anyway, I'm in for the modern league, in the US eastern time zone.

Modern EST
I agree with Putrefy. Starting during the prerelease is always an option too (September 26.) Just say bfz is legal and theros/m15 aren't.
Yay for this

I just had surgery yesterday. In ungodly pain hence me not running tournaments. I've been so nervous about this surgery I haven't been playing.

I'd like to definitely join standard league, I'll post again after school starts if I decide I have time to also do modern. I'm in CST.
August 13, 2015 8:42 a.m.
I want in Standard please. Modern is super boring right now ._. (amiright ChiefBell? p.s. I hope you recover well :-))
My timezone is CET, which is UTC+1 (EST = UTC -5)

I'd love to try out the Modern or Standard leagues, but I need to make sure I can get to Untap.in or Cockatrice, first. I've never actually used them before.
Will check back soon if I can get those figured out.

Putrefy What's boring about Modern? The good decks allow for interesting games, though you're right that the metagame hasn't changed much of late.
Standard right now is just a durdlefest IMO. That or Burn.
August 13, 2015 7:12 p.m.
@GlistenerAgent the meta is basically solved. You play your first land, I know 95% what you're playing. Every matchup is pretty much solved, no new breakout cards/combos/decks. And I'm not talking about your T3 Mono-Black Devotion deck. I'm talking about T1/T2-meta.
August 13, 2015 8:06 p.m.
Yeah it's all a bit done and dusted. Stable. Too stable.
August 13, 2015 8:11 p.m.
GlistenerAgent says... #33
Eh, I guess. Maybe you should go play a tier 2 deck. :)

I would like to sign up, but I have never tried Cockatrice or Untap.in. How do they work? I can't download, are either of them in browser? Also, how reliable are they?
August 13, 2015 10:07 p.m.
GlistenerAgent says... #38
UnTap.in is browser-based, Cockatrice and XMage require a download.
August 13, 2015 10:20 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #39
Ok. I guess I'll play around with untap.in to see if it works for me. Is it free?
August 13, 2015 10:23 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #41
Sweet. So I guess I'll sign up for the modern league, central time zone. Thanks!
August 13, 2015 10:26 p.m.
I would love to be involved in the standard bracket. I am Eastern Standard Time thank you very much!
August 13, 2015 11:50 p.m.
I'd love to play in modern and legacy, and live in the Central Time zone
