What sort of First Edition side events would entice you to come to Worlds 2020? It August 6th - 9th 2021? It's October 7th - 10th in Chicago, IL.

Note that Day 1 will take place on Friday, October 8th starting at 10:30 am.

Don't see an option for Team Event, and that gauntlet has already been thrown down on social media. Money, Inc. vs. Seattle Sociopaths vs. Munich World Order (mWo) vs. the field. No holds barred and falls count anywhere.

Pfft! They’re trying to disadvantage the mWo by enforcing some silly prohibition rules about no drinking!?!?!?

I knew I was forgetting something important on this list.

What if Best of Both Worlds was a Team event?

It could also be Sunday morning while 2E finals are happening, though I'm assuming at least some of the Seattle players are planning to be playing in that event.

I'm as disappointed by this rule as you are!

It's a format Julius debuted in Vienna last year. You bring a deck for both 1E and 2E to the tournament. Each round, you get paired with someone and you play a game of 1E and of 2E in a space of 2.5 hours.

Oh! That sounds like the worst thing ever! (No offense to fans of the format.)

I voted for Block Constructed and the poll said to specify pool, so:

TNG-DS9 Block

People seemed to enjoy it last year. I didn't partake, as it was scheduled opposite my favorite format, IDIC Draft, so I decided to play that instead.

DS9 block - a bold choice, sir!

I believe it. There are lots of people who don't hate 2E -- some are even said to like it!

It's just not for me. No judgment to those who want to play that anyway.

I’ve bought a ton of PAQ to go along with either OTSD or Coming of Age. I may also have Reflections and other sealed product. :shifty:
