What do people think about playing in a league on cockatrice? We could keep records and maybe figure out something for prizes? I think it could be fun, even just 1 match per week or whatever.

Each Wednesday pairings will be posted. You have until Sunday night to contact your opponent via PM for time and play that game before Monday. You must play your opponent before Monday Morning. You can play your game as soon as the pairings are posted. We are using Cockatrice. The winner will PM me with the following information: Decks used by each person and what the score of the match was i.e. CV MBC vs. Cltrn81 Mono Green Walls 3-0. Yes that's right we will be playing best of 5. Monday morning after the Weekends matches, I will update a post with the standings. I will also announce each change in format that day. Currently most people are playing Standard so it will probably be standard primarily. I don't care what decks you use as long as they are format legal. If you want to change your deck on a weekly basis, feel free to.
Scoring of Matches will be: 3 points for a win, 0 for a loss, and 1 for a draw. There is no time limit for these matches since this isn't a tournament. We are playing 5 games how can it end in a draw? Go to the rulebook for that.
Cheating: if you are caught cheating, you will receive -3 points and have to sit out a week (suspension). If you have 2 instances of cheating you will not be allowed to play within the league. Cheating includes not being honest about triggers happening and yes you and your opponent are both responsible for life counts. Full rulebook of MTG applies here. Don't manipulate your opponent if they are new.
This is supposed to be fun! Let's not get mad at each other.
I'd be up for it as soon as I get cockatrice re-downloaded.
Im down.
I'd be willing
I'm so in there!
I'm in
Sweet! Hopefully we can get a little more people. I'd like a good rounded number.
I'm in
Me!
I'll play
Gotta download it first but I'd be in
Would if I could, no computer. :(
/in
I editted the OP.
Format?
I would love to play if there's still space
Me too. I'm in.
count me in
Wow, didn't think this many people would show up!
Format can cycle unless people specifically want 1 format. We're playin on cockatrice so I mean we can use whatever. Maybe the format would be standard for week 1, modern week 2, maybe cube? Idk people can comment since I don't want to exclude anyone's opinion.
And, 16 people is a good round number.
8-12 week season covering multiple formats, then perhaps a playoff system (or top 4)?
I'll play.
Downloaded it today, will play with it tomorrow to learn the ins and outs. Would play tonight but going out for dinner yippie 👍😁🍻
I'm in
I'm in if there's still room
I'd like standard
And also, i think we should have a trust-rule that we should only be able to use cards we actually own.
Standard
Standard maybe a lil modern once in a while. And an outta the blue legacy week 😳

Who ever spent the most money will most likely end up with the most wins.

Isn't that normally the case?
Cockatrice is all about using cards before you buy them. If we are only allowed to use cards we have, then some players will have an unfair advantage or disadvantage. If we can use any cards, everyone is on an even playing field. This applies to all formats.
I think the only rule we should have is no p9. Even if we are only allowed what is restricted, there is no reason that someone would NOT run 1 copy of ancestral recal and 1 copy of time walk and 1 lotus. Since this would be the case, eliminating the p9 would make it more about deck building skills and less about who draws their singleton restricted p9 card.
So yeah when do we start? :D
pm me if u get an opening
How about this weekend? Like Saturday or Sunday?
Yeah. I don't know everyone's schedule, but more than likely I will make pairings for standard this weekend. We'll see how Saturday goes for the future. Ill make pairings and post them up. Ill also have a link to a document that ill keep score with.
Everyone can use whatever deck they want, if you have a sideboard it must be 15 cards no more no less.
I'd like to have more than 1 game a week, but this weekend wil be the test really.
Any chance of adding a slot or two? I'd really like to join up.
We could maybe have draft tournaments as well? Maybe just 8 people who are closer in available time to draft, and it would count points to our league, or maybe a separate league
I'm in EST in New Jersey. Plus I still gotta learn the basics of the program. So please bear with me. I would play on it tonight but it is draft night at the LGS
Is it too late to count me in?

Can u pm me when you choose pairings?
I'm in whenever I have time (again though, don't even know any RtR yet 😕)
If you notice me while I am on (Coffee Vampire), I would be happy to show anyone the basics!
You should P.M. all players the list once you post pairings and post it on here as well. When you say this weekend when do you mean exactly?
No it's not too late. Ill extend the op up to 20 slots. Ill pm everyone with the details later this week. Basically, after pairings happen you'll have a timeframe to play with your partner. I am willing to go as far as 3 full days for each match.
If you don't regularly visit the forum, ask me to drop so we don't waste people's time.

I will eventually like to be in too I just need to find the time..... Does anyone know of a software that would convert .dec files to .cod files for cockatrice.

I think if you export it as a text list (email it to yourself with imtg) cockatrice has an "import from text list" function

How about "i trust that you may not have the cards, but you are following the 4-cards limit and other restrictions correctly, so lets play this playtest match without using our own cards because that is what it is for - playtesting a deck without having it yet"

I think it should come down to a gentleman's agreement. A person gets together with who theyre playing and discuss if they can use cards they dont have or not. I think that would be less hassle/butthurtness than having a universal "only cards you actually own" rule. Just my opinion.
If you can't enforce a rule, it's probably not worth making it.

Exactly
I don't care what decks they run as long as they play by the format rules. Most people on cockatrice use cards they don't own. The program is mainly used for play testing anyway. The way I see it, if my deck beats someone's $700 net deck they don't own than I'm doing something right.

Fair enough. I see where you guys are coming from disagreeing with the potential rule... It would be difficult to enforce.

I think that is easily debatable and not worth discussing since it becomes an argument about principles versus reality, which don't always tend to coincide.
Update. Pairings will be done tonight. They will be posted Friday night (most people are at FNM so you can play Friday night but will have until Sunday night to finish your game). The WINNER we need to contact me. Monday morning the standings will be updated and we can go from there.
I am thinking since we are playing 1 a week, we should do best of 5. What do you think?
Best of five sounds fine to me. Am I included?
Along with a record, a points system like 3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss sounds right. I am going to try to use my stats software to do this for me real quick but everyone will play everyone. I think this is supposed to be fun too and everyone should play everyone. Notice it says league and not "playoff" or "tournament." I would like it if you could use only 1 deck per week. And stay tuned for format change. If you elect not to play for the week, you will need to contact me so I don't just give someone a win because you are busy.

I will update the OP to as many people that post here tonight. Friday however no one else can join. I think this post has been up long enough to attract people.
And if everyone hasn't updated the cockatrice user name you will need to before we start.
Count me in if there's room still!!!!

No I am not. You can if you want. This is a league, not a playoff system or tournament. That will happen after we play quite a few games.

Oh okay sweet, sounds good dude!
I was thinking about a potential prize pool at the end? This is where things get sketchy because people probably don't trust one particular person. We could use a Moderator not in the tournament who could be in charge. What do people think? You guys have to keep in mind I would love to do like 10$ a person (240$ in prizes) but a lot of people can't swing that and I DONT WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE DO IT. So if people can be creative we can think of something else? Perhaps throw a valuable rare of some sort instead? Open to opinions.

I think it's important to change your deck. The meta is always changing. I will ask that you post what deck you are playing though (Like colors ie Willthomjr - Bant Aggro). You don't have to post it here on iMTG. Those kind of things effect what people play. If I made everyone post their decks then that would jam up the Standard section and people wouldn't play certain decks. I want this to be fun and competitive for everyone!
EDIT: I just realized I contradicted myself. No need for deck color. That will be added after the games have been completed.
Willthomjr lose to coffee vampire 2-3 Bant Aggro vs Mono Green Burn (F'in NOOB)
I would love to do a $10 prize pool, but the problem would be that (for me anyway), I don't ever have cash on me (yay for debit cards) and all my cards worth anything are in decks. I don't know if anyone else is like that, but that's a snag I could see with it.

Idk, this needs to be thrown by all players though, it doesn't seem like everyone is checking this regularly
I'm not that good so I'm not sure I want to throw $10 away lol
We could use paypal to pay the prices. It would be safe, easy and, if someone who said would pay doesnt, we can track it and he is out the next turn. I dont think the league should have the price pool though, i think it should be a playoff, or maybe run paralel tournments, where all compromise to pay before it starts
...Or, just throw cards into the pool
Thanks for the feedback guys. Like I said if we don't want to do it, fine.
Also for people checking, I will PM everyone on the final list tomorrow. So from the day you get the pm, it's the responsibility of the individuals for a time to play and must be done by Sunday night. If your opponent doesn't show, you will get 3 points.

Sounds fair.
And since this is a test run, in the future I will make pairings by Wednesday, and still have to play by Sunday. That way there should be no dispute "I didn't have the time. Or I didn't check the forum all weekend"

I'd love to do a prize thing, and really, for debit card users like myself, ATMs usually do $10 increments, so I could do that. Granted, that doesn't answer for anyone else.

Not that I'm planning on playing but you can try this. Everyone who plays can choose to either get into the prize pool or not. If you choose to it cost $xx. If you choose not to you cannot win a prize and you will be skipped and the next person in line who paid would win. Just a suggestion.
That way people won't feel obligated to pay to play.

I see. So people who want to can throw in money and a prize pool will be collected and I'll divide it according to TOP 3 since we're only playing with 24 people. I won't start it till next week since this weekend will be the test run.
Brings me to another point, this weekend is a test run like i keep saying...so we wont keep record and that way we can figure out prize thing. It will also give us a good idea of who will play on a regular basis.

I like this idea that way no ones pressured into anything they don't want to do
Are we using the same decks start to finish? What format?
Also may want to see how many people are in for the prize pool before you decide on how many pay outs.
And if you need any help or ideas on keeping scores I have run a bunch of other tournaments and I can help give you ideas

Are we seriously going to play the what if game? I understand the need for rules. I am not going to make a what-if 1-9001.
Exceptions will be made obviously.
EDIT: Actually, no. You have from Wednesday till Sunday to play. If you wait till Sunday night at 1000pm and you have problems, too bad.
This will turn into, "well I dont wanna play so ill just say I have internet problems".
So when are we gettin test pairings for this weekend? And my opponent please be for warned I've only played on cockatrice twice so ill need help

Appreciate the feedback. Money= problems. I think I'll omit the money. Maybe for another time.
This happened today:
I was playing against MaDeM MaD. I got a {Laboratory Maniac} out. My deck is milled out. My turn, he {Cyclonic Rift}s my Maniac on upkeep. I would have lost, but I recur two {Snapcaster Mage} from my graveyard thanks to two {Seance}, and play {Terminus}, tucking my two Snapcaster Mages. I win the game shortly afterwards.

No I was just throwing out some stuff because once money gets involved people get hard feelings fast.
Appreciate the feedback. Money= problems. I think I'll omit the money. Maybe for another time.
We can play multiple, it is a league after all, let's see how this one goes first
I think this is a pretty good idea and if we had been playing for cash I couldn't have done it. As I understand though no entry fee and no additional rules beyond basic rule book yes?

Well, there is one rule.
If you play me, turn 28 we {worldfire} automatically.

Post the pairings and results in a new thread maybe, to keep it organized? Also, post the results in the same post as the pairings, maybe, and it will be nicer. You could ask for a moderator to make it a sticky thread under digital games(proph is a mod and is in this league, so I think he could make sticky for you)
I'll pm a mod to see bout that.
Wackaman used GW tokens, he won 3-2.
I used Defender Ramp/Combo.
We'll use this thread until the official week starts (Wednesday). Ill make a thread specifically for standings.
Mentonin won 3-1, he used Rakdos midrange, I used Axebane Combo
Me and Greg aren't going to be able to play tonight dude to complications on both ends, I believe a tie will suffice. 2-2-1, Draw.
I "played" Junk Zombies.
I won against Juggalonoke 3-1
I was using Selesnya tokens and he was using Selesnya centaur tokens. It was a fun match! :D
I'm supposed to play darkarts, but he hasn't responded to my PM and hasn't been on in a couple of days.

Dark arts pm'd me saying he's outta town. Don't fret if you didn't get to play, this is a test weekend anyways.
Same with me and fish sticks, no response from him.

If you've been keeping up, they will be this week.
So are we switching formats for the next week?
why not make the whole league standard?
Agreed, not everyone is experienced with other formats, and standard is super easy to grasp

To an extent i still have issues building decks sometimes
True, I usually have difficulty picking my last 10 cards especially on cockatrice
I just know it was talked about and I'm not entirely sure how were doing it :P. And it took me a while to find this thread again lol
Can we switch formats if both playes in the match agree to it? Also do you have to use the same deck the whole tourney?
How long till really first week pairings and format announcement? Really hope it's standerd just made. New deck if love to test....
I think the whole league should be played in a single format, and maybe have other paralel leagues for other formats. Also, i don`t think it should be a single deck in the whole league, as you should alway be trying to perfect your own deck, and in the middle of the league we would be playing with antique decks compared to what we could have perfected it into
I've answered a lot of questions already.
New pairings will be posted today for official week 1.
Too late to sign up?
So it's like 8pm where are pairings?? Lol

It's standard and will continue to be standard since its the most popular.

Contacted AgrusKos by PM no response yet... After 24hrs... We will see how this will work...:D
Maybe if someone doesn't show round one I can sub in for them? :D

Bant Control :P
I lost against disturbed1jwh, he played WBR Exalted and I played Storm.
I played against Mikfrompluto and won 3-0.
Ok ArgusKos reaponded today if we could play the game during the day but he did not show up... Response after 72 hrs after my first msg and then he did not show up whole day... Get that he is in different time zone.. But he had time from wednesday to react and he sent me a message the last possible day...?
Hope the other weeks and other opponents will not behave the same way...
BTW: my opponent did not communicate and had no will to play..
So I PMd Spikepit and never got a response and haven't seen him... Hope it dosent happen again next week
So far, it looks like three out of 13 matches have gone down. I hope people are getting their matches in because this is actually pretty fun.
Willthomjor contacted me Thursday saying he could be on Thursday night, PST time. I don't know what time PST relates to mine, so I asked for a GMT explanation, and actually said I would be on from 22h Thursday till 07h Friday morning, GMT 0. I actually stayed on till 8h. On Friday he said he didn't know what GMT meant, I explained to him and he didn't answer thereafter. I stayed on for the most of the time Friday and Saturday, but didn't log in today. Still no answer from him. I need to sleep. Maybe we can have it tomorrow though, I have free time
It's alright man. I been really busy (no FNM or anything :( ) you can have the win for me being no show, idc.
I honestly spaced this, I forgot where to find it. I don't think Fishsticks is even playing though.
EDIT: Fishsticks hasn't been on since Oct. 19th...

Damn good deck u have Vyse...;) I was really humiliated...:D
I would join but my standard deck isn't too good... And I joined Cockatrice a week late.
I won 3-0, I played Junkgari Zombies: "Graverot", Juggalonoke played Bant Midrange
I won 3-0. Coffee Vampire played his insane Battle of Wits deck and I played my Worldfire Defender Ramp deck.
Unfortunately, my match with CJCroft didn't happen. I did not notice the pairings until 10 Sunday night, and CJ didn't send me a PM, so we were both unable to play.
Mentonin was unable to play during our decided time after we both had to reschedule a few times.
Silent and I are going to try to play tonight. We've both had conflicting schedules and been difficult to find the time to play do hopefully tonight if this isn't a problem
Posting today
Oh crap. Disturbed and I never were able to get a time based around our schedules :(
No reply yet?

I guess this petered out :( I was having fun with it.

Shouldn't we have had more time as the pairings were not posted Wednesday?
I won game one, and safira was unable to make any of the matches back to me due to his server disconnecting, so he conceded.

Exactly... Maybe we could try after christmas holidays.. But I am worried that it will not go better...
Though not many of us had/made the time for this, I'm glad I participated. It gave most of us an excuse to interact with each other outside of iMtG and I believe, as a community, it helped us grow a bit.
