Upcoming Master and RFT Trial Sets

by CMA-Flippi on 2009-06-20 08:44 EST
As some of you have noticed, the calendar has two tournament Formats listed that were not played (in trials/masters) on magic-league before.

June 27, we hold a Random Format Tournament Trial. (RFT).
RFT is a dynamic format. When it's done as small tournament (mini), you have 1 hour time to built a deck. The cardpool for that are seven randomly generated sets(2 Big, 4 Small, 1 Core), with the Legacy banlist applied to it. For the Saturday, we will randomly decide the sets legal for the trial on Friday!

June 28, we hold another Master with two formats. This time, we split the Swiss portion into two halves. The Master starts with 4 rounds Sealed followed by 3 rounds Standard. Then, a cut to Top8 will be done where the finalists battle for the trophy with their Standard(T2) decks.

This News item is subject to change.


EDIT (6/26, 5 PM GMT)
Alea iacta est:
8th,Mirage,Shadowmoor,Morningtide,Legions,Fifth Dawn,Saviors of Kamigawa
For the trial, thats the legal sets, remember that the Legacy Banlist applies.

So the byes have to be used for the sealed portion?


by DS_McWerp on 2009-06-20 09:00 EST

I imagine you wont be able to choose. Otherwise I'd wait till I saw my pool :P.


by -DK- on 2009-06-20 09:05 EST

The tc could have everyone choose b4 put pools on homepage i think no? Like do it in pm or something


by CMA-Flippi on 2009-06-20 09:20 EST

I will post a corrected version later today, when I spoke with the TC about that.

This is my fist time. Is there any qualification I have to meet to compete?


by isperia on 2009-06-20 10:30 EST

"This is my fist time."

Is it?

I will be TCing so I will tell you all byes will be taken in the sealed portion of the tournament. In a perfect world we might split them up between formats if you had to byes however there is no way to do thins in the program we use for off site tournaments.

the master looks great, sadly i couldnt play that day


by Dantalion on 2009-06-21 08:38 EST

Why not make a whole sealed master with T8 draft? Would be nice.


by gluedman on 2009-06-21 10:51 EST

way to stay up with where the pro magic world is.

Keep making interesting masters like this.


by GGbizz on 2009-06-21 13:33 EST

I think Saproling idea is very cool! I would love a master like that, it would be like a limited ptq, which is pretty cool


by Zapgaze on 2009-06-21 15:50 EST

Is there ANY chance of moving this back to the saturday?


by Bushviper on 2009-06-21 16:10 EST

First off, at the moment, with the technology we have available right now, Top 8 drafts are VERY hard to do because there is no easy way to make sure each player's security code match. Second of all, we wanted to make a tournament where everyone has the opportunity to play multiple formats, not just the top 8. Lastly, sorry Zapgaze but I can't run it on Saturday, however, you can play in the Saturday RFT trial! :P


by -DK- on 2009-06-21 16:47 EST

Yea saturday would suck


by Lumbalgic on 2009-06-21 22:17 EST

Lol? Any particular reason for that comment?


by CMA-Flippi on 2009-06-22 13:51 EST

lumbalgic is banned for cheating - fraud


by lastx on 2009-06-22 17:12 EST

Yea first time. Excited! Magic-League is good for me because i'm living on a budget atm. When I do have the money I will play on my Modo (Fatal_attraction) more. My buddy Doogle won a PE last night and top 4 three others. Maybe you people have heard of him/


by lastx on 2009-06-22 17:16 EST

"lumbalgic is banned for cheating - fraud"
Really?


by Shagrath on 2009-06-23 08:07 EST

Cheating here is so random.


by coolcreep on 2009-06-23 11:21 EST

the last person to tell me it was their first time was a lying whore. Just saying.


by Craze on 2009-06-26 13:36 EST

I'm not a "lying whore" coolcreep. I just didn't want you to feel like I had any expectations.


by khim on 2009-06-27 01:20 EST

by Bushviper on 2009-06-27 02:06 EST
