Rules

This competition is MTGO-based. You may play games with real/proxied decks in person but you must have your deck built on MTGO. The banned list is set in such a way to make the construction of MTGO decks very cheap (anything 1 tix or over is banned). Anyone is welcome to enter. If it's a success perhaps we will run others with a small entry free and (even) better prizes.

Can we play any official games yet? I'm happy to start playing them now (having done zero testing with my stupid combo deck - not even sure if I know what I'm doing with it to be honest). Get your free wins in before I figure out how to play it properly!
