Who wants to play a release event for Paradise Lost? I usually do it the Monday after a set becomes legal, which would start it Monday, September 5th.

However, that will mean that any bans or rules changes will affect the tournament. Would you all be OK starting the 5th, or should I do it the 12th?

Also, can anyone think of possible cards that might make an NPE in this scenario?

I'm already playing in the online Regional/ Worlds Warm-up... any chance we can punt this thing to Mid-October when we're past Worlds but the release achievement is still good?

I am also concerned about overlap with online regionals since I am playing 1e and 2e now, so I'd prefer to push this back.

Well I am am hoping @KazonPADD means shortly thereafter the 10th as opposed to the literal definition of straight after. In fairness since I don't think he is making the trek to Worlds, maybe he does mean the 10th?

I just think that given the long lead time to prepare, there’s less need to delay. But if others prefer to delay, that’s fine by me.

That "Long Lead Time to prepare" is going to Worlds decks.

I'll be lucky to throw anything together for this gig with a week's notice, let alone coming right off of Worlds.

While college me would probably have no issue throwing a release deck together right after Worlds with no turnaround time, college me was a fucking animal.

42 year old me isn't that good. There's only so much nerd bandwidth up in my brain these days, unfortunately.

Tournament is now in the system for an October 10th start date. It’s also eligible for the Chair’s Challenge.

In!

Does that start date get us the Worlds Weekend double dip on entries?

If not, any chance we can move it back to the 9th? :wink:

(I'm playing either way, but 2 entries into the drawing would be better than one!)
