Hakeem, if you want any advice on prize pool payout stuctures, feel free to PM me. I was a TD for years.

Mobius and I just got into a row about it.

I don't know the total prize pool but regardless, it should all go to top three, in my opinion. Losers of semi-final bracket play off for 3rd place.

usually you try to split up the prize pool 50%, 30% and then 20%.

Assuming, you have 100$ in xbucks, $40 cash and the rest in-game currency...
Ideally, you would give a $50 Xbox Credit, $40 cash to 1st. $50 Xbox Credit to 2nd and the in-game currency to 3rd. Giving the in-game currency to the last top finisher makes sense since they 'need the most help'

Anyway, I already regret posting this and i'm not even done yet. Now everyone and their mother is going to chime in with what they think makes sense.


You should run your own tourney bro.. I think you like dickering with the rules more than you like playing the actual matches :p You'd get more enjoyment out of it methinks.

Hell, the only thing this tourney is doing is making me want to get the cards on the Xbone so I can play in the next one.

Damn you Wizard that we can't play cross-platform!!!


You should have anyway. We got all the coolest kids:

Myself
Barney
Hakeem
Mobius
Covert
DJ
Mackey
Smokey
Tibault (if you're into that sort of.. thing)
Bab's boo
Gemini
etc.
etc.
etc.

Steam has.. BBB, Rabs, Nighthawk, Legend.. and Babs.

Advantage.. Xbone!

Beast, you're 100% right. I used to enjoy running matches more than playing them. It's surely no different nowadays.

It's still a ton of fun to be in an event with the list of people you just mentionned though. What a treat. It's fun to play people here.

inb4 hakeem gets top spot and he decides the prize will be used on the next tourney :V


I would love this whole tournament thing to be a regular occurrence so I would have no problem at all if Hakeem won and put the money towards another tournament. I may not be doing well but I am having fun and would like to participate in another tournament soon.

Agree with Tsh1rt, I'm not putting up a great showing but this tournament has been a good time and hopefully there will be more soon after. Also if anyone wants to add me on Xbox I'm HA1LtoTHEking...even when we're not having tournament matches I'd like to get in some competitive games against good decks. I don't find them very consistently just playing the +20 gold match ups

You can add me, I'll play whenever I'm on. At least you are able to find the 20g matches, I feel like I wait forever and could have played 2 ai matches by the time I find one human opponent. That's why I'm still rank 2 in BFZ.

I notice how you mentioned my username last on that list...

@Splinter19cc
Your still doing fine. Any player going 4-X or 3-X still has a clear shot at top 8. However, you don't want to be in the camp going 2-X and 1-X during round 2.

You know, I was thinking that since Wizards of the Coast is also taking part in this tournament by proxy, they will see the benefit of a tournament feature. I think this tournament is a test run for them so see how well events like this will draw the attention of potential customers.

Based on my previous match with TsH1it, my follower count doubled on Twitch and I went from no subscribers to 7-10 on YouTube. People like Legenvd who I've sent a message to months ago are just now replying to me. Its funny.

As I digress, Wizards should think about adding a tournament feature in the update after OGW and SOI. It would generate plenty of content and pull in more players which will turn over into a profit. By that point with 4 expansions, new users would never want to grind but fork over some cash for boosters OR play in a tournament for a chance to win boosters.

Don't forget Steam is normally the first platform to get new updates, how long did it take for Xbone to get BFZ?

Yeah this tournament is boosting my YT channel too! Same thing with Legend happened to me too. Weird...

Man, I have just about had it with the matchmaking issues on the One. After I get my 500 versus wins, I'm only going to play one versus match a day and go solo for the rest. I want to play
