Great stuff.
I enjoyed playing 2E last time, so I'll arrive on the Sat morning in time for that, stay over and do the 1E.
StrangelyI seem to be better at 2E than 1E? :? :o

Hotels in Manchester that are central are pretty pricey - £80+ for the Sat night already. Would consider a twin room to halve costs if anyone's interested?

I'll be looking at accommodation this evening. There are 3 of us southerners staying over the Saturday, so I'll look for either 1 quad room or 2 twins.

Anyone else?

Hello.

What is the format of these tournaments going to be?

We have 8 people registered for both tournaments so 5 rounds seems like one too many.

I'd like to know because I might choose a different deck depending on the format.

Thanks

2E is 5 rounds of standard constructed. I've text Nick to ask if he'd wanna change it down from 5 rounds to 4 if just the 8 players.

1E is 4 rounds of OTF constructed.

Anyone need any 2E decks for the Saturday? I'll be bringing a few with me, so just let me know which is your preference.

Hey dude, I could do with a deck for 2E.

Can I try Khan this time?

Be warned 2E players, if you face me, you pretty much get an automatic win.

The question is, should I hijack my 2E deck with Pokemon or My Little Pony cards this year?

:wink:

Assuming I don't cause a bye, I pity the opponent that gets me. "So... How do I play?"

(Nick's already agreed to lend me a deck. I'll have at least 1 spare deck with me for 1E if anyone needs one.)

I plan to bring six decks with me, so if you need a deck, that won't be a problem. If you have a specific deck type you want to play, then let me know asap.

Tough call. Pikachu has great dilemma busting abilities but his attributes are crap. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash is great at missions but leaves you vulnerable to battle. I guess it's a meta call.
