Will do! But probably not be done until tomorrow. :(

Okay. Will have the results in for the next game, most likely tomorrow, not sure I will be finished by tonight.

So...creatures left that have not fought:
Faeries, Goblins, Myrs, Thopters, Vampires, Elf, Dragon, and Angel.

Who should battle each other next?

No, i appreciate the advice guys. Don't get me wrong!

Just almost soothing...writing the stuff out, you know? But cockatrice does sound very interesting, and neat.

Oh...damn Hasbro. Just today, was ranting about Magic being all about money, to Kazzong.

Don't want any part of that.

Pen and paper work just fine. :)

P.S. Plus, I am not Korean...and my computer skills suck. :P

Free? None of them are free...that I know of. They all want money!

1st opponent for Zombies were Humans.

Humans slowly, too slowly started to gain life at the beginning of the game. They were up to 26 damage before they started to become overwhelmed with Entomb/Buried Alive and Unearth/Exhumed Gravecrawlers, Death Barons, and Grey Merchants. Humans just could not keep up.

End of Turn 8. Zombie deck had 9 Zombies in play, all were 3/3 or greater in power. 4 of those Zombies were Gravecrawlers. Just nasty!

Humans vs. Zombies.
Turn 8. Zombies 20 life. Humans 0 life.
Zombies 1-0
Humans 0-1

Agreed...just..he has only 8 Enchantments in the entire deck. To make the Armor truly effective...he will need at least 2 of those Enchantments out. The Gift card helps...a little...i don't know...it just feels iffy.

Regardless, of 1 card or not, it is a good deck.

I liked it.

Okay guys. First match of tournament is over. Around 2 hours and 8 pieces of paper later...I have Merfolk vs Beast game over.
Beast came out very strong with 2 Kalonian Tuskers, one with Rancor. Merfolk were quickly down to 10 life by Turn 4. However, by turn 5 Merfolks had Lord of Atlantis, True-Name Nemesis, and Merfolk Sovereign on the board AND Impulse, Counterspell, and MIsdirection in hand. It was game over when the Merfolk deck played Counterspell on the Beast deck followed my a Misdirected Rancor put onto True-Name Nemesis. A 7/4 Nemesis meant game over.

Turn 6. Merfolk 10 life. Beast 0 life.
Merfolk are 1-0
Beast are 0-1


P.S. Great job at suggestion Misdirection, Puschkin! It went a long way in ensuring Merfolk's victory.

What is Cockatrice?

By the way, Humans just got their asses handed to them.

End of turn 8. Zombies had 4 Gravecrawlers out. 2 Gray Merchants. 2 Death Barons. 1 Blood Scrivener. All 3/3 or higher.

Humans with their mother of runes, devout witness, martyr of sand couldn't stand up the graveyard regeneration.

Zombies had 20 life at the end of the game. No contest.

Take out what, for it?

Afraid I already have the high mana cost cards filled. But it would be awesome if you could have all of those cards Sanguine Bond/Exquisite Bond/Blood Tribute out at the same time. Would be brutal, will admit that.

I think the Vampire deck has a lot of promise to be in the top 3 decks.

I will definitely add it to the sideboard...because...here is a question for you.
Since Beast needs help...i could possibly do it...

Since the tournament has started...is it fair to change cards in the decks?
I am honestly not sure.

What I am doing is majorly flawed. Super flawed. But trying to be fair. I use the Draw Sample feature on here.

I make sure I have at least 2 lands on the opening hand. I open two windows on the computer.
Example. 1 screen is Zombie, draw sample hand.
2nd screen is Human, draw sample hand.
Each of 2 lands in the opening hand.

I get paper, write down the opening hands. And I go from one window screen tab to the next.
Drawing what the Draw Sample Hand shows I would draw.

What is uber flawed is I am playing both sides...but i am trying to be fair and play as I would play IF I DID NOT KNOW the other person's hand. It is especially tricky for Counterspell decks like the Merfolk.

And it is tedious as hell. Like I wrote before, somewhere. 1 game is like 2 hours long. I write out the turns and draw out, at the end of each turn, a picture of what creatures/lands I have on the board. As well as write down what I have in my hand. I have to do that for both decks.

It is interesting, though. Wife is recovering from surgery today. So I have loads of time on my hand.
Now, Humans and Zombies, who do you think have it?

Also made them all mono colored...also a challenge. Idea was to have 2 decks of each color to represent what their element stood for. White...healing and team unity. Red...speed and quick attack. Blue...control and disruption. Black. Death and life drain. Green. Trample and mana ramp.

P.S. Also added Artifact decks too. Myr and Thopter.

It is an Elf...or I would add it. All 12 decks, and it was a challenge, only contain creatures of one type. Only Elves in the elf deck. Only humans in the human deck. Only dragons in the dragon deck. Etc. Again, it was a challenge.

Going to make them all face each other 1 time. It would be more fair, I will agree with you abcdefu96...but it would take weeks and weeks.

There are 12 decks...and for each of those 12 decks to face each other 3 times...yeah...weeks and weeks.

Still might take weeks just facing every creature against the other 11 creatures. Humans vs Zombies are next.

They are under my decks, all titled Creature Challenge.

Damn 25 dollar Misdirection card gave them the win. Beast played Rancor and Merfolk used Misdirection to change the target of Rancor to the Merfolk's True-Name Nemesis.

I knew money was going to be a factor in the Tournament. It is what it is.

With that said, I think my 20 dollar Cephalid Constable deck could beat any of the Creature Challenge Decks.

I know you were mildly interested, Kazzong, in the Creature Challenge Tourney I had planned.

Well, Merfolk beat Beast in the first match. Beast came in fast and hard...but late game counterspells/disruption gave Merfolk the victory.

Next is Zombies vs Humans. Not sure if I will get it done tonight. Playing Both sides...using paper takes forever. First game was around 2 hours long.

One more question. Please.
I have Myrsmith in play.
I tap Blinkmoth Nexus to make it an Artifact Creature. I do not get the option of paying 1 for Myrsmith because Nexus became an Artifact, do I?

Same thing with Origin Spellbomb.
If Myrsmith is in play.
I sac Spellbomb to put an Artifact into play...I do not get the option of paying 1 for Myrsmith, do I?

I think Brute Force should be considered.

Or coordinated strike.

I think both would work over the Armor.
