I've had requests for an online release event coming in, so it will happen. I also have had a request to do the SWCCG-style pairing like with my latest 1E event. If you haven't been watching that one, it goes like this:
[*]Everyone brings two decks, one [Vid] and one non- [Vid]
[*]I will assign you to play one of those decks first round. If you play Vidiian, your opponent will be non-Vidiian and vice versa.
[*]Each subsequent round (minimum 4, regardless of the number of players), you will alternate decks. You will only be paired against the opposite deck type in a round.
[*]Depending on the number of players, you may play the same opponent twice, but only on the opposite pairing from your previous round. (I managed to avoid this in round 4 of the Lifesigns release event, but it was a narrow thing.)

Would this interest folks? Vote in the poll! Revoting is allowed.

Regardless of outcome of the poll, this event will start Monday, August 5th and rounds will last one week.

I know for me, two deck tournaments are harder to do because of competing priorities. That’s not to say that I would definitely not play in one, but it would make it less likely.

I think it was much more needed in 1E because of all the concerns of how strong the [Vid] were and their matagaming.

2E [Vid] look good and I want to try them, but I don't see the same meta impact concerns. (And I mean that as a true neutral for both. I think 1E *needed* the meta shakeup and I think 2E will get shifted, but different games, different impacts)

It looks like standard constructed with just one deck is the will of the people, so that's what we'll go with.

Pairings will go out Monday, so get in there!

If you want to play, I'm happy to drop and run things instead. This time of year is stupid busy for me.

OK! But I think you need to add me since it's "started"

Are there any new achievements we should be aware of when deckbuilding?

I'm assuming a standard 'play 8' release achievement is in there somewhere, but what about any new deck-specific options?
