i don't have that big a "play group" though. i don't necessarily mean a PT like this, but just a series of local tournies with these formats, like a state championship or something, and then the winners of all the states get invitations to regional versions of it, then nationals, then worlds, all in this format. sounds a lot more fun than straight type 2. anyway, it just sounds like a fun idea. i have a feeling that doing these formats with my 2 or 3 friends who play would not be nearly as fun. one of the best aspects is the fact that you get to design a card as a prize. maybe with the system i outlined, they could make an entire set out of the cards the competitors make up.
