Welcome to THE IRON PLANESWALKER: The game that takes 11 talented deckbuilders, and put them to the test!


JUDGES
Mooby the Golden Sock, Bogus Burger


GAMEPLAY
The Challenge
Each round, the contestants will be given a deckbuilding task to complete. For example, players may be challenged to build an "At the Beach" deck. Possible cards might include Horseshoe Crab, Sunglasses of Urza, Tsunami, etc. Players will submit their deck along with a short explanation to the judges.

The Judging
Decks will be judged on the TJS Scale (Timmy, Johnny, Spike.) "Timmyness" emphasizes flavor, adherence to theme, and fun. "Johnnyness" focuses on originality and card synergy. Lastly, "Spikeness" analyzes deck competitiveness and adherence to the rules. Judges will comment on each deck, focusing on these areas.

The Elimination
After judging, decks and comments (but not player names) will be publicly posted, and Gaians will be able to vote. Rankings will be posted, the deck with the lowest vote will be eliminated, and the next round will begin!


ENTRY INFO
Cost
-Due to popular demand, there will be no admission fee! Yes, it's ABSOLUTELY FREE! YIPPEE!
-Donations toward the prize are highly appreciated, but will have absolutely no effect on your game experience.

Prizes
-The deck that scores highest each round up until the last will receive one of the five Magic orbs. This means that each player has two chances to earn any given orb!
-The deck that wins the final round will win a super secret prize, valued somewhere between 40,000-45,000g (based on current TekTek value as of this post)!

THE LAW

1. Do not break the Gaia TOS or the guild rules.

2. Breaking the rules of a challenge could result in disqualification. Penalties for failing to meet the criteria for a challenge could be anything from docking points to outright disqualification. For example, accidentally including one artifact for a challenge that bans artifacts may result in severely low Spike points, while including multiple artifacts would result in a disqualification.

3. No cheating. This includes such things as using mules to vote for you. If you cheat, you're out. Not negotiable.

4. When in doubt, the judges are always right. The judges are the final authority on all decisions/disputes that may come up in a game. Arguing with the judges will get you nowhere. This includes interpretations on rules and challenges.

5. If you're not sure about whether something is allowed, ask. If you just assume you're right and do it anyways, Murphy's Law practically guarantees you'll be wrong.

6. Additional rules may be added as needed.

FAQ

Will there be any more judges? Can I become one?
We are currently exploring candidates for a third permanent judge spot. It's by invitation only, so don't PM the hosts asking to be considered.
In addition, we may invite eliminated players to guest judge once or twice.

What card pool should we be expecting?
The card pool will vary from assignment to assignment.

How long will we have for each challenge?
Most will be about a week. Extensions may be granted for extenuating circumstances, as deemed by the hosts.

Where will this game take place?
Right here, in this very thread!

I have another question that's not in the FAQ.
Just ask, and we'll put it here!
