OCTGN Thunderdome II
The Thunderdome Mage Wars Tournament will take place for the second time in September. This time we thought of something special, since there actually will be two tournaments respectively in America and Europe. For the first tournament there is a limit of eight players per continent. After a victor will be announced for each America and Europe, both will contest in the Grand Finale.
The tournament will be carried out via knock-out-elimination. The participants for the first round will be chosen randomly and announced in the Arcane Wonders Forums.
The first round including eight players will be carried out over a longer period of time (Sept- 21 – Oct. 4). Each player is responsible for organizing the dates he is playing in and communicating these date with the respective organizer. Only after the organizer has confirmed the game and his attendance will the game take place.
Semi-finals and finals will be carried out on the same weekend (Oct. 17/18). The hours will be during the afternoon and in the evening depending on the respective time zone.
In the end, the Grand Finale between the America and European bracket champions, will take place on Oct. 24 (evening in Europe, afternoon in America), where both victors of each tournament will fight against each other for the Champion’s title in a Best of three. Special rule for the end game: After one has lost a game one is allowed to use a side deck.
All games will be recorded and commented by the organizers and provided on Youtube for Mage Wars fans all around the world to be watched afterward. The games carried out during the weekend of the finals will be transmitted additionally on Twitch.
If you want to take part in this great tournament you only have to do two things: Show us that you belong to the active Octgn Mage Wars Community and apply via PM in Arcane Wonders Forum until Sept. 17. The organizers are for America Coshade/Intangible and for Europe Schwenkgott.
You should keep in mind the following things if you want to take part:
- The most important thing first: Before registering for the tournament the gamer has to make sure that he will have enough time during the games to compete. There is nothing worse than games that cannot take place because of player(s) who cannot make it.
- Every gamer is allowed only to compete with a single and authentic deck. This deck has to be sent to the respective organizer latest by Sept. 18.
- During the game the organizer will check if only spells of the deck are being played. If a spell is used which cannot be found in the specified deck, this will end in disqualification. The referee will look after the adherence of the Mage wars Rules and will be the first person to turn to for both players when questions occur considering rules.
- There is no time limit for a game. The player whose mage survives will be the winner in the end. In case of a tie, the winner will be chosen by the most influence on the board (amount of mana in creatures + enchantments + conjurations + equipment).
- All cards that are available on Octgn are permitted, which includes Promo cards as well as the new Battlegrounds Domination cards. Only exception is the Ballista. It will be treated as if it had the characteristic unique.
Up to date information will be posted on the Arcane Wonders Forum. See you in the Arena!
