The Marvelous Market of Magicks

[Juancu]

My idea is to print the 4 decks of the best 2 players (as judged by me), and play against my bother (we're equally good.) Let's call those players A and B, and their decks 1 and 2. We match A1 vs B1, then A2 vs B2. If each wins one, the winning decks go to a final game. Then I'll transcribe the games.
Other suggestions are welcome.

[Juancu]

I'm going to publish the result tonight, I've been waiting for wizyard, who gave us the template, but no bids . If you sent them, I didn't get them, like I said via PM. Anyways, as I said before, I'll assume a 1-bid to everything, which should be a more forgiving than all 0s (if you want to continue, that is.)

Edit: Got them!

..and Slimytrout and Megratoid Jones get +3 gold! Congratulations!

For Round 3, I'll give you two options:
-Design a card that creates and destroys.
or
-Design a card that makes me think "Triple!"

Floor Card: Mind Rot

[slimytrout]

Don't forget the floor card -- kinda hard to design without it

[void_nothing]

Shouldn't Mergatroid have my Burnished-Blade Dullahan, not Quiver of Archers?

[Juancu]

Corrections:
Added Floor Card: Mind Rot.
Megatroid should have Burnished-Blade Dullahan instead of Ashigaru, will correct the table tonight. Check your results for additional notes and corrections. Thanks!

[Dusk]

YAY! I actually got a thing!

[Raptorchan]

Do you keep on track how much money left for each player?

[Raptorchan]

Anyone?

[Juancu]

I've been slowly getting cards. Later today I'll send reminders, we still need 3 more designs.

[Mergatroid_Jones]

I think it would be a good idea to post a deadline with every round. And maybe a one or two gold penalty for missing it.

[Juancu]

The third day of the Market is busy as ever, even if the budgets are getting tighter. New rule (probably won't come into play until later): You can't bid more money than you have. (Thanks for the table Amuzet, I'll start tracking it on the results post.)

This game is soo slow, I just can't believe people can't place their bets in 8 days.

[void_nothing]

Just got word from Dusk that they will be unable to participate for the time being.

[Juancu]

Temporary replacement request for Dusk open.
The weekend is usually better for me to do the tally, so I'm more lax on delays during weekdays. Tonight I'll do the tally, replacing a straggler with "Bid 1 to all cards."

[Juancu]

This is the sheet I use to compile the results:

Wait! I could have just linked it and it shows?? Haha, fixing it to a table was hard.

Wizyard, Megatroid and Raptorchan tied for the best cards, and were the only ones to surpass the Floor card. So as per the new rule, they each get 1 gold. I'm going to streamline the rule:

* If you get more bids than the floor card, you get +3 gold. But if you were on the top 2 cards, you only get +1 gold.


For Round 4, you must design a card that either:
-Hates a small creature.
-Hates a big creature.

The floor card this round is Repulse. This floor is stronger than before, and you've been lacking on power... so turn it up!

[Raptorchan]

[mention]Juancu[/mention], are you sure about this part?

[Juancu]

needs updating, right

[Amuzet]

just remembered mtgnexus existed XD
you need my round 4 card it'll be by the end of the day

[Dusk]

Sorry about that. Was out of the country and thought I'd still be able to access the forum on my phone. Unfortunately I was not able to. Thank you void_nothing for passing on my message. If I'm able to get a card in this round, I'll get one made up soon, otherwise I can wait for next round.

[Raptorchan]

Can we assume this game is dead?

[Juancu]

Can we assume this game is dead?

Yeah, I've been lurking while on Vacation, but I only got 6 cards this round .

[Amuzet]

After 3 years I've made a real time Tabletop Simulator version of this thread :D
