I present to you our next stop in the Mid-Atlantic area!

Please vote for the format ASAP as I'm going to finalize the tournament arrangements by the end of the month and I'll have a post put up here and on Facebook so that we can get this underway!

Tournament date will be on September 21st, sign up at 11am, starting at 12pm. The tournament will be held at Games and Stuff in Glen Burnie, MD just south of Baltimore. I've know the shop owner here for 13+ years and he will give us as much space as we need. Lets have a nice turnout for this!

If there are any questions on the formats please ask them here. I will list the answers to said questions below..

FAQ

The reason for the limit on the number of Legend cards is so that decks like Spider-Clones, and Crisis Doom wouldn't over run the tournament, and allow for more creative things to be played.

Identity "Legends", such as Flash, CAN be used as your Legend in both Super and Dual Legend formats.

For Super and Dual Legend, NO MORE THAN 4 of your "Legend" cards can be the same army card. This is to prevent Moloids-type things, and so people won't pick an army character as their "Legend".

Just keep in mind that with super legend, you can only have 16 cards that reference or are the legend.. So it basically says no crisis doom/spider-clones/hulk.

2 question (Not that I'll be flying out)

1. Why no more than X cards in a legen/super-legend, I understand no less?

2. Does Identity count for legend or only name? That is can I run Flash legend?

The idea behind the strict was to allow Doom, Spider-man, and Hulk to be played but to allow other legends to be at least somewhat competitive. As Nazrat mentioned, the fear was that decks like Spider-clones and Crisis Doom would overrun the format. The strict limitation of 16 cards means you can play your favorite character, but hopefully some of the most broken GA decks will be effectively neutered.

And to answer question 2, yes identity will be allowed as your "legend"

I actually meant dual legend since that's what I voted for but sure legend still sounds good.

Also as I said in the NYC thread, I will drive up to 3 people down and back if you can make it to philly and home from Philly unless you live within 30 mins from me, in that case we can arrange transportation to and from your place.

Also please ban Omnipotence if it is a legends format, it ruins any legends deck outright.

I like the idea of banning omnipotence but does that also mean we would then want to ban null time zone as well, what about Pathetic Attempt? It's all the same general issue of generic no cost negation/denial.

The other important thing that needs to be addressed in the legends format rules is what role do Army characters play? We discussed this a bit on monday Nazrat but I don't see any mention of it here. Things like Multiple Man should probably be allowed for a legend deck but something like SHIELD Agents or Wild Sentinels really shouldn't be a legend. An army character that references another character like Atlantean Warriors I would think would be fine to count as a card for a Sub-Mariner legend but should not be able to be used as an Atlantean Warriors legend. Just my two cents.

Also I'm getting an error when I attempt to cast my vote... anybody know why? Is it because I have no posts? (edit: apparently it was because I had no posts)

Actually, Omni needs to go because naming a certain legend could ruin the deck and experience outright, ex. wolverine. NTZ is fine because its a 1 turn stall and pathetic attempt wouldn't be as relevant IMO since many cards would be aimed at the legend.
