TappedOut League
Social forum
Posted on March 12, 2015, 3:35 p.m. by CommanderOfBolas
ChiefBell and I are trying to get a league going for T/O users. this post is mostly to get the information out there.
We currently have a Facebook group that we are going to use for posting information, including pairings, a list of everyone's names/usernames across the multiple sites, etc. If you haven't already, head over to FB and join our group!
we will be taking signups over the next month or so, and matches will begin after signups close. you and your opponent will organize the matches yourself (in other words, you will decide on which site to use, time, etc.).
the league will be free! no charges. however, the Chief and I have discussed potentially moving on to provided prizes to top 4 or top 8 depending on how many people we have/whether or not you guys would be alright with throwing a bit of prize support in.
Format: We aren't dead set on a format yet. as of right now we are deciding between standard, modern, or just letting users choose between the 2 for their matches. some feedback from the community on this would be great!
I think I have covered everything, but if there is something you would like to know that I didn't cover, feel free to ask me or ChiefBell.

Can I join the group even if I'm not participating in this particular league? I think I might want to participate in future ones.

If people are playing burn, I'm then playing Soul Sisters!
Or, maybe I should try mill? Hehe, just for fun!
Or maybe a manifest/blink combo?
March 17, 2015 6:15 p.m.
GlistenerAgent, I really hope you're on Infect. My deck is soo good against it. You pretty much need Apostle's Blessing or Wild Defiance to win.
I'm also happy that NorthernRaven is in this, because he's likely to bring a mill deck. I mean, this happened against a mill opponent.

NorthernRaven, gonna hit up on my Mill or Bant Blink deck?
I actually really like reading everyone's speculations considering I'll be the only one knowing what everyone is running :D
March 17, 2015 6:27 p.m.
I'm running a marathon.
Just kidding, I can barely run ten feet
March 17, 2015 6:40 p.m.
So it's modern? Can I still get in? Can I get a link to the "banned list"? How do you play with other people? If it's online do you still need the cards? Or is it lick video chat gaming? Ok maybe I have too many questions and not much time left so maybe I'll just wait till next time I dont know

Its modern.
Yes join the linked Facebook page.
There isn't a banned list that I am aware of.
You can play on Untap.In, Xmage and Cockatrice.
You don't have to own the cards.

Burn is on the banned list. It's on my banned list anyway.
March 17, 2015 8:53 p.m.
filledelanuit says... #16
The banned list is the normal modern banned list.
I have a couple decks in mind but can't decide on what I should play. So I come to the community to ask.
Which of these should I play:-Storm
-Ritual Gifts
-Esper Control
-UW Control
-GW Hatebears
UR storm doesn't feel like it is in the spirit of the event but who knows.
March 17, 2015 8:54 p.m.
GlistenerAgent says... #17
Ritual Gifts? What's that?
Esper Control would be my second choice.
March 17, 2015 8:55 p.m.
Common, you can't hate on one deck cause infect is weak to it agent XP maybe I'll just bring 8-rack instead and make you discard all your creatures.
March 17, 2015 8:56 p.m.
bijschjdbcd says... #21
Honestly, Burn is a horrible deck.
Better pack some SB hate for Infect.
March 17, 2015 9 p.m.
Common, burn is fun :) to play with, not against, but still! Fun! :) and anyways, burn is strong, so I'm not sure why you're saying it's horrible ;)

bijschjdbcd says... #23
Looks at hand
3 to you, Untap draw, Suspend Rift Bolt, 3 to you.
March 17, 2015 9:14 p.m.
Lol, yea :) Rift Bolt is fun cause they know they can't play a threat until it's gone :)
March 17, 2015 9:20 p.m.
bijschjdbcd says... #25
That's not always true.
My point is pointing damage at your opponent is an incredibly linear strategy which leads to boring uninteractive games.
March 17, 2015 9:23 p.m.
GlistenerAgent says... #26
Dammit, Infect hate. Why do you have to be so prominent.
Burn is very good. It's just unfun to play and unfunner to play against, for me at least.
March 17, 2015 9:29 p.m.
Ok wizards "banned lists" have not been updated in almost a year so where can I find up to date list? And I do not have face crack I mean Facebook
March 17, 2015 9:30 p.m.
And if I run delver how can i "reveal" my card during my upkeep to flip him?
March 17, 2015 9:32 p.m.
bijschjdbcd says... #30
On Untap click on your little deck, Look at th top card, Then flip the the top card if its an instant or sorcery.
March 17, 2015 9:34 p.m.
GlistenerAgent says... #31
Umm... Not that hard. They were updated in January.
Different clients use different ways to reveal cards. Cockatrice and UnTap.in both have rather easy interfaces, and the descriptions of what buttons do is simple to get down.
Hey everybody, play Pyroclasm.
March 17, 2015 9:35 p.m.
I said IF I run delver I mite run Phyrexian Crusader ;-)
March 17, 2015 9:38 p.m.
Ok so how bad is modern? I've never made a modern deck I've got 2 legacy decks that I can rework to be modern (I think)
March 17, 2015 9:42 p.m.
GlistenerAgent says... #37
Modern is the shit. Legacy wishes it was us.
That said, Legacy is pretty sweet, and not at all a bad choice.

Wow we got all these burn haters, at least we're not fuckin abzan. That's linear if I've ever seen it.
March 17, 2015 9:57 p.m.
GlistenerAgent says... #39
Abzan is not really linear at all. If you have any reactive components whatsoever, you're not linear. Affinity is linear. Burn is linear. Infect is linear.
March 17, 2015 9:59 p.m.
GlistenerAgent says... #40
I would like to point out that according to this thread, I am playing both Infect and Scapeshift.
Come at me.
March 17, 2015 10:18 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #41
Infect Scapeshift, where you ramp up to 8 lands, cast Scapeshift and get 4x Inkmoth Nexus and some other lands.
March 17, 2015 10:21 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #42
Wait so you're an infect player complaining about burn being linear?
The irony is real.
March 17, 2015 10:22 p.m.
I feel like aggro, by definition, is a linear archetype.
March 17, 2015 10:26 p.m.
Ok so no one will answer me about where to find a current banned list as the one on wisards web page has not been updated in 11 months and I think Treasure Cruise is banned but not sure is there anyone that can point me in the direction of the current list?
March 17, 2015 10:56 p.m.
@Kozelek- http://magic.wizards.com/en/gameinfo/gameplay/formats/modern
Modern ban list and legal sets. Ban list is about halfway down the page.

bijschjdbcd says... #47
Nixin72 we had linked it already :P
Tibbles, Linear meaning that burn is just 1 mana = 3 damage.
Infect actually has different lines of play which can be complicated.
March 17, 2015 11:19 p.m.
I know, but he asked again, so I assume he didn't see the previous post. And burn isn't always just that. Sometimes you cast a helix, skullcrack, Boros charm too :P
March 17, 2015 11:22 p.m.
bijschjdbcd says... #49
Lol but you get my point :P
Also I meant to tag the other dude, My bad.
March 17, 2015 11:30 p.m.
I'm sorry no I did not see it before my bad. Ugh I just looked and it is not looking good for delver is it? No cruise, dig, ponder, preordain, brainstorm, portent blah! Ok delver don't seem to be that viable in modern :-(

I don't care if you guys come with tier 1s I'm sticking firmly with my rogue.
