Cockatrice Tournament for Fun and Profit
TappedOut forum
Posted on July 25, 2013, 4:04 a.m. by Formortiis
Ok, not actual profit, but I think it would be a good idea to have a tournament on Cockatrice or some other free MTG game program so people have a chance to actually play their decks on the site outside of their local meta. Naturally, to get people to even play in the first place, prizes could be given like T/O points or Tokens.
Anyone?
I play on it all the time. the problem is: tappedout tries pretty hard to push MTGO. I doubt they would consider running anything official because of that. That's not to say that someone else couldn't run it though.

Given that a lot of people on this site use budget as an excuse a LOT, using something that costs money like MTGO would alienate practically everyone.

As long as it's nothing official on the site (read: main page), organizing a small forum tournament shouldn't be a problem.

Where does it say that it can't be official? The whole point is that you actually win something.

thing is, by officially sponsoring it Wizards could maybe shut down this site

Tony hit the nail on the head. I don't have MTGO, Don't have the money for it. The last thing that I want, however, is for wizards to decide that this site needs to be sued. I can't blame them, for not officially supporting Cockatrice. In fact, I think that decision is a wise one.

it is free to build but it's a lot bigger task to build a decent EDH deck than Standard or Modern
not to mention people.probably want to test decks for FNM or tournaments, none of which will be EDH...

anyway if you want to play EDH take a look here Cockatrice EDH Tournament or, just write on my wall. Im always down for a game

Is there a way to download Cockatrice without the website? I would love to have it, but I bought this current computer after the website was taken down :(
