Tavern League FAQ

Ladies and Gentlemen, to clarify abit about the League here are some FAQs:

Why is there an entry fee?
The entry fee is there so that the Organizer can provide prize support and better structure the event :)

Why should I join?
To Play more magic of course :)
Well, there's lucrative prizes such as the 100 ringgit cash prize and everyone goes back with 4 booster packs as complimentary prizes anyway :)

Must I have a partner to join?
Yes, unfortunately this event is a 2-headed Giant event and therefore it is a requirement that you have a partner.

Are there Deckbuilding restrictions?
Yes, the event will be run in the Standard Format which means only these sets are legal:
Scars of Mirrodin
Mirrodin Besieged
New Phyrexia
Magic 2012
Innistrad

Also, Both players are required to build a deck of 60 cards minimum and there may not be more than 4 copies of the same card between the 2 partners except for basic land or if the card states otherwise.

Must I be present only on Sunday?
It is not necessary to be present on all Sundays, each team has the opportunity to play every other team once a week.
If you cannot make it that Sunday, you may contact all other teams to set up games on another day so long as it is before the next Sunday. (However all games must take place in the store during store operating hours.)
All new participants in the league are allowed to play additional games every week to make up for the lost times. (Teams that support the new participants also get additional points anyway.)
Sunday's meet up is a set date that the shop sets so that we can tally the standings for the week, while it is strongly recommended that you play on Sunday it is also possible to play on other days so long as both teams agree and the shop is open :)

How many games do I get a week?/ Is there a cap on the number of points I can get a week?
Every team can only play another team once a week for points, any more than that will not contribute points to the teams.
An Example:
If there are 5 teams in the league: Every team will play 4 games a week. Each game gives a maximum of 3 points, therefore the maximum number of points a team will get that week is 12 points.

Any more questions, please do not hesitate to ask at medicontherun@gmail.com or The tavern's facebook page :) 

Magic: The Gathering – Two-Headed Giant FAQ

I

n lieu of the Innistrad League that will be held at The Tavern this month of October, I thought I’ll write something related to that. This column is an explanation of some rules regarding Two-Headed Giant, a Magic variant that will be a part of that Innistrad League.

First we’ll begin with a comparison between a duel game and a Two-Headed Giant game. Don’t worry; I’ll explain them after this.

Duel (one player vs. one player)

Two-Headed Giant (two players vs. two players)

·     Each player starts with 20 life ·     Each player loses the game if he has 10 poison counters ·     Only one player may lose the game ·     Only one player may win the game ·     Matches are played best-of-three   ·     Creatures attack your opponent   ·     You block the opponent’s attack with your creatures ·     You can only have a maximum of 4 of each card (excluding basic lands)

·      Each team starts with 30 life ·      Each team loses the game if they have 15 poison counters ·      If one player loses the game, his entire team loses the game ·      If one player wins the game, his entire team wins the game ·      Matches are played with only one game ·      Creatures attack the opponents’ team ·      Your teammate may block the opponents’ creatures for you ·      You and your teammate can only have a maximum of 4 of each card (excluding basic lands)
