I can't afford this poo poo, time to play Magic with goons instead.

New Thunderdome, now with standard cards. That means you use Tarkir Block, Magic: Origins, and Battle for Zendikar.
Sign ups close 10/15/2015. Just in time for Pro Tour.

irc: #mtgoon on irc.synirc.net, no one actually uses the thunderdome room.
http://xmage.de/ is what we'll be using to play. It's like MTGO, if MTGO was actually functional.

PM me your decks with thunderdome in the title or find me on IRC if you're not cool enough to be a platinum goon. I need them by the sign up end date. All decks will be hidden until round 1 ends or whatever.

The players: (With a check if they've sent in their deck)

Now that SCG Open is done, remember to submit your decks by the end of the 15th. I want to have round 1 up on the 16th.

Also, there's still time to sign up for everyone interested.

I wouldn't worry about getting something that's top levels of competitive, all of the entries so far are piles or just an excuse to give a deck a funny name. (As Magic goons are wont to do.)

Pairings are up. You have roughly one week to find your opponent and kick that person's rear end.

We're doing four rounds of swiss. Every round is best 2 out of 3.

And Sigma, I'll be available after 4:00 PM EST 9:00PM EST today and all through the weekend. Woo hoo, short term notice on call for support. It's going to be a fun weekend and I'm off to go get in an early nap.

Okay. You ever on IRC? I'm in Mountain and only free late (like after 11pm your time), which could be an issue. I'll try to get some time carved out earlier if necessary.

Things have escalated and it looks like I'll be in the office all day on Saturday (in fact, right now!). I'm not feeling too confident on Sunday either but I can see about sneaking it in. Would you be available some time during the week?

Sounds good. I'll be playing from work so I might be a few minutes late because inevitably lunch time is exactly when someone has some hot ticket issue that needs to boggart 15 minutes of my day.

Oh yeah, I know that feeling. Luckily I'll be out of work at that point with no further plans that day, so I can wait.

2/1 here. Game 1 wasn't even close to being close, game 2 was scary; I flooded a little but was just aggro enough to get there, and game 3 was a repeat of game 2 without the flood.

KidDynamite you should just scoop to me since I got paired down and all.

When do you want to play?

Is this 4 rounds of swiss and cut to top 4 or what?
