Following the success of our first MTGO BYOS tournament I'm starting another.
Everyone is welcome to play regardless of whether you played in the first one or not.
To sign up just post in this thread. Deck lists should be submitted to [e-mail] by Monday 10th December.

Rules
This competition is MTGO-based. 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.

Entry
FREE

Format
Decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size. If a player wishes to use a sideboard, it must contain exactly fifteen cards. With the exception of basic land cards, a player’s combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title equivalent. All cards named Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest are basic.

The following card sets are permitted in this tournament:

Jim - he's from Betrayers.

Kieran - I can't believe you are running draw spells.  Try more do-nothing enchantments?

[James Mills]

That explains everything.

[Kieran Symington]

Enchantments rule. The first deck I made was a Hearbeat of Spring deck that won by chaining Time Stretches while attacking with Treetop Village. But I had to give it up because it was too similar to my deck from the last one and it took about 20 turns to kill someone...

kieron i am building heartbeat + time stretch! obviously going to use the blue myojin as my draw spell :)

[Simon O'Keeffe]

I actually played this deck at a Champions block PTQ, it was pretty good! Think I finished 5-2 or somesuch. Except you didn't have Time Stretch then, instead you used Time Stop to just make sure your opponent didn't get a turn.

My deck wins without needing to take any turns.  Turns are for noobs.

If people finish decks this week we can always start the tournament early.  I am ready apart from a few sideboard slots.

[Kieran Symington]

I think mine will actually be ready this evening. Playtesting is so last season.

I'm one land away from having my deck complete and ready to submit. Somehow MTGO Traders only had three - I suspect other BYOS players buying out the supply just to spite me.

[Simon O'Keeffe]

Dammit, you have the Tranquil Garden tech too?

I think I have my deck too, just need to get the final cards from a bot.

[Thomas David Baker]

The lists are starting to come in.  I have three submitted now.  Happy to start the tourney early if I get them all in ...

[Ben Titmarsh]

Despit only just signing up, I think I'm going to have to bail on this.  Got stuff on every day for a week or so, so no time to put together and play a list :(
