Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

Which is why I don't like it for a tourney. Type One is super fun if you're sitting down with another serious player, but it's not fun with a semi-casual, or in a tourney where you care a lot about not getting 55% t1ed.

Yeah, this doesn't sound ideal.

Modern or Legacy would be cool; I lean slightly towards Modern, but I don't have a strong opinion on that. We could try getting a MYOS completed.

I did enjoy the previous MYOS's, but as long as I don't have to filter through millions of cards I'm happy.

[AGar]

I'm getting a new laptop in the next 7-10 days, so I'll be able to play by then.

I'm game for whatever format.

[Thestatusquo]

Given the fact that no one appears interested in t1 or 1.5, my preference would be for modern, then TBMs "Random MYOS" format, where two blocks and a core set are randomly chosen and then everyone builds from that pool of cards, then standard. Standard is p. boring imo.

[AGar]

I'd enjoy giving T1 or T1.5 a try, personally. But I appear to be in the minority.

[bv310]

I like the idea of the RYOS system. Could end up with some fun shit.

Well, that means (since you are looking to make the game, I think) that standard isn't an option, leaving just two

pick your favorite!

[Thestatusquo]

Wait, how did I get roped into running this shebang?

[mykonian]

damn :/

[chamber]

Random MYOS has 2 advantages going for it, the first is that the format we end up with should be unexplored, allowing people that want to test their deck building skills a way to do so, the 2nd is that the card pool will be constrained enough that people like fate or nuwen or myko still have a reasonable chance of understanding what will be good or bad in the format without days of research time.

[Fate]

2nd
MYOS

[Thestatusquo]

the third advantage is that it is not absolutely busted like real MYOS.

[bv310]

I'll run the damned thing, but I won't be putting too much time into it. How do we go about picking the sets?

[Sudo_Nym]

the third advantage is that it is not absolutely busted like real MYOS.

Unfortunately, true. ISD/IA/M10 give you Delver, Snapcaster, Traft, Force of Will, Counterspell, Mana Leak, Rune Snag, Oblivion Ring, and Ponder. Practically unbeatable in the format.

RYOS would be interesting, in that you couldn't netdeck, and probably be forced to use cards that aren't seen outside that format. I imagine we'd use combined legacy and block ban lists?

[mykonian]

which leaves only the question what blocks and cores would be allowed?

[Sudo_Nym]

I'd assume we'd take the same blocks and sets legal in myos, and randomize them. Now we decide if we want one format, or give everyone a different random standard to build with.

[chamber]

1 format, everyone getting their own is way too random.

[mykonian]

which leaves someone to roll the dice and then I can stare at digital cards the whole night

[Thestatusquo]

Definitely 1 format. Otherwise Mr. Kamigawa-masques gets paired against Mr. Urzas-Mirrodin and it's just wrong.

Just assign each block a number, and generate 2 random integers on random.org within that range. Do the same thing with core sets.

[mykonian]

1. Ice age
2. mirage
3. tempest
4. urza's saga
5. mercadian masques
6. invasion
7. odyssey
8. onslaught
9. mirrodin
10. champions of kamigawa
11. ravnica: city of guilds
12. time spiral
13. lorwyn/shadowmoor
14. shards of Alara
15. zendikar
16. scars of Mirrodin
17. Innistrad

1. 5th
2. 6th
3. 7th
4. 8th
5. 9th
6. 10th
7. M10
8. M11

10. M13

Original Roll String: 1d17

1 17-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d17

1 17-Sided Dice: (8) = 8

Original Roll String: 1d10

1 10-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

and now pray for non doubles (and hope I didn't do anything wrong).

[Thestatusquo]

That actually sounds moderately awesome.

[Fate]

well a guy at my store says he's obsessed with Onslaught so HUE I got me some advice

[TheButtonmen]

Ban list?

[Shanba]

invasion onslaught fifth edition?

sweet!

[mykonian]

I think this was used in the other MYOS's we played.

I imagine we'd use combined legacy and block ban lists

which would mean:

Mana vault
Mind's Desire
Necropotence

if I'm not mistaken?

[Sudo_Nym]

Invasion and onslaught? I look forward to durdling my phyrexian durdles.
