ADMW Open 2 - 2
Standards- The tournament will be played in one stage. Each week you will be assigned a new matchup in your bracket. You will have two weeks to complete each matchup. Extensions will only be granted on a case by case basis.
- A tie break looks at the match record between tied participants. For example, if Katherine and Dave are tied based on statistics but Katherine won when they played during the tournament, Katherine wins the tie break. When more than 2 participants are tied, they're ranked by the number of wins each one had against the others.
- All cards from Academy Forcemaster and Warlord and all sets prior are legal to use. All promotional cards available on OCTGN are also legal.
- Players will build a spellbook with the standard amount of spellbook points and restrictions.
Any promotional cards that have been officially released in a set will be considered to read as the official released in a set version
