This game is for after JD's game is done.

Feel free to sign up for it if you would like to play, it won't run 'till his game finishes.

Once, a while back, I ran a Magic: the Gathering mafia game in which the players chose a card from all of MTG, and I custom built them a role on the spot based on that card. That game was much maligned because of a weird quirk in which, after everyone got to pick their favourite card to have their role be based on, all the roles got swapped Day 1 because one player (KoD if I recall It was Razor) had picked Scrambleverse as their card, and I stupidly fashioned his role to do pretty much what Scrambleverse does. Terrible things.

This game will be like that game, without stupid Scrambleverse shenanigans.

When you sign up for this game, you pick a decklist for any deck which could be built in Arena (the free online computer version of Magic: the Gathering). You can pick from any of the three available constructed formats in that game (Standard, Historic, or Brawl). Where do you find a decklist? https://www.mtggoldfish.com/ is a good place to look. Heck, you can even build your own decklist and give me that if you don't want to use a list made by someone else, it just has to be an Arena legal deck. Put the decklist in the sign-up thread; your chosen decklist is public information (but your custom role is not).

Town and Mafia players will be given custom roles based on the decklists they provide me. Alignments will be chosen at random.

One lucky (or unlucky) player will have their submitted decklist ignored, and they will instead be given a unique third-party role and alignment.

And that's the game.

Wanna play?

PLAYERS
  1. Aaarrrgh – Linden Lifegain | Brawl | Winrate 2/3
  2. Captan Lunch - Kefnet Shenanigans | Historic | Winrate 2/3

Just google arena decklists.

Some old cards exist in arena, but it is mostly new cards. And no, I don't think windfall is among them.

In as third party. If I don't submit a deck list I'll have to be the third party role.

In. Know any good online builders that flag arena legality? I'm not familiar with the software.

Anything in standard is arena legal, so you can just look there. I will probably submit one of my personal Brawl decks, just haven't decided which one.

This should have every card, I imagine. Alternatively, you can filter by historic legality, but the format has some banned cards.

also it was raz who scrambleversed iirc, kod isn't the root of every evil, just most of them

It was razor. I ended up with it after the shuffle and immediately won because my win con was to have spent all my abilities or some such thing. My OG role was skyshroud elf and I had a heavy handful of abilities that I would have had to go through otherwise.

What you going to play the decks and the best deck gets your special role

The third party role will be selected at random.

But yes, I do plan to play each deck in arena to see how it plays and help me craft your role.

It's technically legal. I can't promise you'll do very well with it, but it's technically legal.

If you don't submit a decklist, you haven't signed up according to the rules.

Anything Standard legal is buildable in Arena, if that helps?

2 Flood of Recollection (RIX) 38
2 Entrancing Melody (XLN) 55
20 Island (M19) 265
4 Mass Manipulation (RNA) 42
4 Karn, the Great Creator (WAR) 1
4 Callous Dismissal (WAR) 44
4 Commence the Endgame (WAR) 45
4 Fblthp, the Lost (WAR) 50
4 God-Eternal Kefnet (WAR) 53

4 Blast Zone (WAR) 244
4 Interplanar Beacon (WAR) 247

I played three matches with your deck. I didn't have 4 copies of Kefnet, so I -2 Kefnet and +2 Talrand, Sky Summoner, which complimented everything else your deck did amazingly so I hope that's okay. I won 2 out of 3 matches with your deck.

Karn without a sideboard is an interesting choice... But he still proved useful anyway in shutting down opponents artifacts.
