Stealing an idea from another site... (Wooberg.com)
In the spirit of the olympic games... I propose that we play a Magic Pentathalon... Competitors play in 5 events - we'll pick the formats. Your placement from the first 4 events get points for 1st (5), 2nd (4), 3rd (3), 4th (2), or 5th (1). For the final event you'll have a life total of your total points through the first 4 events. I would suggest the 5th event is constructed chaos - or something similar.
These will take more time to run in our virtual environment... but who cares as long as we finish by the end of '08...
I would suggest the following as possible formats:
Mindmaster XXX (XXX is whatever expansion is decided upon).
Build Your Own Booster MindMaster - in this format each participant builds a booster comprised of 1 rare, 3 uncommons, and 11 commons from a single block.
I'd like to see a draft, but they take soooooo long to get through with so many people... Unless we run it like the Sports draft where you pick multiple cards at a time...
Constructed Vintage
Constructed Standard
Sealed Deck
Theme Deck - play one of the preconstructed theme decks
Limited Top Deck - use the limited rules where only available cards are from a single block.
I think the best thing would be Single Elim for each event - they go the quickest... I also like Turgy's life loss rule for non-posters he started with week 4 of the sports draft.
Anyone interested?
