Vert is now King for BOTH King of the Hill competitions.

***Attention***

This tournament will end on the 19th of this Wednesday. Scores will be counted and the top 3 competitors will compete for the title of AER King!

Someone should post that awesome cartoon, Double King. It's so Vert

Finally, I can lose to vert and become a real magic duels player.

I think me and Mix are going sometime today hopefully.

GimmickMan, are you free late tonight (EST) or tomorrow?

All hail the double king!

I'll be around today, let's make this happen.

Lets wrap this up!

Me and Vert will play a best of 3 and the winner of that match will play against Black Barney.

Gimmickman and Vert will play a best of 3 and the winner will play tmp_tmp.

Everyone already on the list will retain their spot. To tell you the truth though, Pure's set up is moving at a snails pace and I'd imagine the folks on Steam are losing interest. Maybe we should organize something where everyone can play like some kind of sideline tournament alongside Kryders.

In terms of prize pool, Pure will handle prizes and will determine what gets split and where. If he comes back on here that is.

Me and gimmick are playing Sunday.

Play Saturday, gem?

And the pace seems fine to me.

Saturday is perfect for me.

Yeah the pace is fine. A good king shouldn't have to play each day

How do the finals work Gem? Best of five with a different deck each game? I could probably play Saturday evening after 8. Gotta do taxes that day so it'll be a nice reward

Yes, in both the semis and the Finals, it's "different deck each round".

I thought both were Best of 5, but I'm fine with the semis being Best of 3.

Wait...is it best of 5 and not best of 3?

EDIT: Thanks for catching that one!

Hey, who dropped a big ol' pile of creamy wheat on the format? Jeez, I go to hell for one season to barter for flesh and steel, and this is what I come back to? Hold on, I'm going to need a montage, a lame amonkhet prerelease (Oh it's gonna smell bad), and some beet greens to bring this back to glory, lol.

Infamousgemini asked me to post here but didn't say what for... so there ya go, sweets!

Seriously though, congrats to Steam for showing up in force. I'm not going to do anything of substance till tomorrow, but if it wasn't o b v i o u s, the reg season is over. Best of 5's, different decks, etc... do it n' get that Overlord banner up!

I've got some reading to do to catch up on how many heads rolled across the floor while I was gone. Until tomorrow, I also want to thank the evanesence chick or infamous morningstar or whatever for trying his bestest. Two smileys for you...
Serious

Heads rolled in a predictable manner. That's why I'm the king of every format (IOS doesn't count, hos).

Congrats to Gem for a job.... done.


Welcome back Pure! We missed you. Reach out to Kryder please, he has something cool to ask you.

That's true. Say what you will about Gem's performance, but it definitely happened.

Vert vs. Gemini

Oh boy a repeat finals match between Vert and I!! This time for an alarmingly large prize pool US$165!!

Vert, last time it all worked out even with my connection problems. Want to iron out the details ahead of time just in case (I don't think you and I will ever have a problem cuz neither of us is nuts).

So best of five, different decks each time and if we get a disconnect and the winner isn't obvious, we replay the match using different decks again, like we did last time? That works for me

Oh, let's define what "different decks" means just to make sure you're comfortable with my interpretation. If the decks have different intentions of how to win, they're different. For instance in the last deckbuilding contest it was "flicker", it i would consider Hulksology, Willbreaker tempo, Fireweaver blink and Tempophonic to all be different decks cuz they barely share any of the same cards event though they share some colours and the idea that they flicker. Do you agree?

Another example is DJ's radko vehicles deck and Banenon's radkos artifact decks, those are two totally different takes on the same colours.

I don't know if I'm playing any of these decks yet but if disconnects cause me to need ten decks, I want to make sure you're cool with what I think different decks means.

I only care what Vert and Pure think btw. I just want to hammer this out to avoid problems in future finals, I don't think Vert and I would ever have an issue

DO YOU ACCEPT THIS?

Whoops, when do you want to play? I can play evenings from 8-11pm ET

Yeah. All that's fine. If you think the lists are different m enough thats fine.

8-11... Maybe tomorrow night?
