Your deck must be one of the following:

Deckswapping IS allowed
3 min turns

all players divided in 4 groups of 4 players
groups will be populated taking into account ELO ratings at end of registration

1st and 2nd place in groups advance to quarter-finals

group matches will be played in 2 games per opponent, every player can go 1st once
order of who goes 1st in what match will be pre-determined by group order (highest ranked player goes 1st in 1st match)
group matches can end in a draw (1-1)
everybody plays everybody in their group

in case of tie for number of games won, tie-breaker will be based on number of wins goind 2nd then number of losses going 1st then number of turns needed in your losses (the higher the better)

quarter-final,semi-final and final will have a 3rd game if needed with random 1st player

4 credits for winner

2 credits for runner-up

1 credit for each losing semi-finalist

Registration to be opened soon.

ps: make sure that your display settings allow you to see the 30 cards of each deck, if not use the scroll bar on the right side of the deck as not to miss any cards

I'm in!!!

Can I make a suggestion.

We make bigger groups for the 1st stage, for example 2 groups of 7, allowing a week per game to be played, as then everyone plays loads of games and the top 2 of each group go through to the semi-finals. The problem with groups of 4 is that you usually have 1 player who is not that bothered so you could end up playing 2 matches a the group stage. That's fine if you have a good chance to get through, but if your sjabth, for example, then it is a shame to only play a couple of matches.

Put me in DJA's group and I'll show him what humiliation is

I'd love to join this one as well but unfortunately it looks like there is at least one or two cards in every deck that I either do not have or do not have doubles of. So much for buying sets off of ebay. Oh well, better luck next time.

Nevermind, it looks like I can put together one of these so count me in. I might be able to throw together at least two depending on what cards I can get a hold of between now and then. Anybody have a spare fire witches familiar they would like to trade for something?

hey internal..pm me a list of commons/uncommons that you need and I will see if I have them. Posting from the UK...if you pay postage cards are free!

I think i will participate in this one.

I've been meaning to get back into the game, but there's so many great games coming out at the minute.

hey i have never done an eoj tourney but ill have a go, ive only played a few times online with it at all,

Registration is now open.

As for players per groups and how many groups, we'll see how many people want and/or can (related to having the necessary Set 3 cards) participate.

I'll leave the registration open long enough (ideally when knock-out phase for 3 Race tournament is well underway).

Anyone know how to unlock the last 4 decks? I have the other 2 by beating some pre-construct or other!!

Same as it was for Set 1 and Set 2, you have to beat all the pre-constructed decks twice.
Once "normal", and once under pre-set conditions (eg. win by controling 5 biolith fields -> hardest imo).

After having beaten one of those decks, it normally unlocks the next one (eg. Fire to Water)
but it also reveals the extra new condition to beat it again.

Only way to obtaing 100% of the Trophies.

I've started beating the computer with all the special conditions to unlock the cards myself so that I can practice. Make sure to give yourself first turn as it doesn't affect the conditions of victory and some of them such as win without killing any creatures are pretty hard to do when you are going second.

These decks are so bad it's not true.

I think we should make a rule that 'deck swapping' is compulsory...and yes that means you may need to play with 3 decks in the knock-out stages. For me 1 deck stands out, though I could beat it with the starter deck np!!! It would add a bit more variety and tactics if this rule was introduced.

Only 12 registrations so far ... might have to consider another format then.
