Hey 'tiders, I'm putting together a bracket of cube decks that YOU (hopefully) will make. The idea is that each participant will make TWO decks headlined by an iconic Magic cards. Then, Kirb and I will put your decks to the test in a single-elimination bracket. Here are our headliners:
Each headliner will only appear in one sealed pool!
Format
Each participant will receive a sealed pool of consisting of:
* Two headliner cards and their corresponding sidekick card(s).
* An additional ~125 random cube cards
* 10 shocklands, 10 dual lands, and 30 fetchlands
From this pool you must build two distinct decks with no overlapping cards (think team sealed, but run by a single player).
* You make a deck for each headliner
* You must use your corresponding sidekick card(s)!
* Between your two decks, you can use a total of 15 shock/dual/fetchlands (e.g. 6 in Deck A, 9 in Deck B). Any extra lands in your pool (manlands, utility lands) may be used at your discression.
* Each deck may have a sideboard of maximum 5 cards
* Each deck must have a name
Building
I recommend using https://sealeddeck.tech/ to build your deck. You can load the text file I send you via the 'Load Deck.txt' button. It has a robust and intuitive visual deck builder. The site seems to keep track of your progress via cookies or something, so if you want to build the two decks simultaneously maybe you need an incognito tab or second browser.
When you're done editing, click the 'Export for Arena' button and put the resulting decks in .txt files (and post them here).
Spirit of the Tournament
Make your decks as fun and unique as you can. We'll be playing 32 different decks, and I'm looking for some spice! If you want to write a little deck primer, all the better. We'll record all the matches, so you can cheer on your deck and watch as the bracket progresses. I've set up the bracket so that each participant has one deck on each side of the bracket. If both your decks meet in the finals you get ownership of riptidelab.com
If you want to build a sealed pool, post here and I'll send you your .txt file full of cards!
