Did you have issues building Reflections packs? Last I checked they weren't available in Lackey. I had developed my own algorithm awhile back but it was something I was generating manually and it was... not fun.
ARMUS and @eberlems has developed the Lackey plugin so they make Reflections packs now. It’s very slick.
FTFY. :wink:

Markus did all of the code monkey work because I can barely spell computer, let alone program one, but I developed the parameters that made the pack possible.

It's not perfect, but it's a pretty decent approximation of what you would get in an actual Reflections 2.0 pack. You're guaranteed a Ref2 card and Ref2 reprint, but unlike real packs, you're ALSO guaranteed a Necessary Evil card.

I know when I ran this thing in my Farpoint series in 2020, somebody managed to pull Guinan AND At What Cost (@The Ninja Scot , maybe?)... and naturally they drafted the TNG starter.

This event should be a lot of fun. I'm glad to see it being run again!

I stand corrected @Armus! Thank you.

I wonder if anyone ever cataloged what foils came paired in the Ref packs? That might be a bridge too far for realism, though.

I mean, if anyone's got a few hundred packs laying around, we can try to map them? :D

Just for clarification, this is just straight sealed correct? Only people that can normally report to your HQ are allowed? I just ask because Daniel's Reflections Sealed from last year (?) allowed for reporting outside the HQ norms at a +1 cost if memory serves.

Yes, it is straight sealed.

The Rainbow Sealed event in a couple of months does allow for the Reinforcement rule, but bans Information Drone.

It's go time, everyone! Thanks to everyone who's registered. We are at 15 players, so will have 4 rounds and there is a Bye. So, without further ado, here are your Round 1 pairings courtesy of the Random Integer Generator:

Mathew McCalpin (@Professor Scott) vs. Michael Van Breemen (@The Ninja Scot) FW 100-70
Christopher Jansa (@Psionic Hobo) vs. Kris Sonsteby (@LORE) FW 100-35
Markus Eberlein (@eberlems) vs. Steve Nelson (@Boratus) FW 100-65
Brad W (@Viper2525) vs. Ted Reebel (@TReebel) The Bye
Daniel Matteson (@OKCoyote) vs. Adam Bargar (@abargar7510) FW 100-35
Greg Dillon (@Latok) vs. Ben Liebich (@monty42) FW 100-0
Maggie Geppert (@jadziadax8) vs. Joseph Wisniewski (@geraldkw) FW 100-70

As stated in the tournament description, you have two weeks to build your deck and play Round 1. If everyone gets done faster than that, I am happy to pair Round 2 earlier than that. A couple of you haven't picked your starter yet, so make sure you do that ASAP.

We can do that. It means we'll go up to 5 rounds and you'll be paired with @Armus.

With 16 we can keep it at 4 and still get a clear winner.

If you hit 17 we would need to go to 5.

OK. I was just going to check the OPG for that info. Thanks!

Wow, HUGE turnout for this gig. I fear my card pool is woefully inadequate to handle this many players! Anyone want to sell me their leftovers? :wink:
