Will you be posting a list of updates as they come somewhere?

Re: Mulligan ponderings

I also don't like how it might skew character pool strategies or fishing for a character in opening hand to encourage, e.g., planning to leave behind a squatter first turn to draw back up to a full hand, or other player tactics involving m/h order to refresh your hand or take advantage of hazard op...

Re: Randomization problems in sealed product?

I wanted to record here that we had a case reported on Discord of someone opening multiple METW unlimited starter packs with uncommons replaced with rares. https://discord.com/channels/688058353519427660/688058354001772578/1197983771690024990 I'm still interested in any information about the order o...

Denver Moot: February 3

We're planning to gather on the South side of Denver on February 3 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. If you're in the area, ping me to join in! Our group tends to be pretty casual, and in general we tend to check in with opponents first about things like alignment and avatar and main character conflicts, al...

Re: Tracking Player Performance

Updated from second half of 2023, including Worlds.

The hope is to merge online and in-person rankings once there is another tournament's worth of network connectivity between the two.

Re: Sealed Deck Generator

The generator now has the option to automatically trade cards in random packs that would put your collection over the max playset. The autotrader will select replacements from the same print sheet (rarity first letter). No more 2x Morannon and 5x Arouse Denizens, much rejoicing! https://theo-donly.g...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #203 Q7 - Carambor + Spying out the lands - Open until January 22

Seems not to have much to do with Carambor, just with multiple movement-hazard phases. The CRF entry cited is vague. Surely it cannot be literally, "[all] resources played during the organization phase are reapplied to the company..." Glamour of Surpassing Excellence played during organiza...

Re: Interest in partnering with others for Nat'l USA tournaments 2024-27

As GK knows I am deeply invested in this project and in particular the Mountain time zone (which I claim under the domain of Meduseld ;) ). But I currently feel like the forum environment is not hospitable for this, so for me these discussions will continue on Discord.

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #202 Q4 - Await the Advent of Allies

I hate to use up my one post, but realistically I'll be lucky if I get to think about this any more before the deadline. I think while you are planning an overhaul errata, you should change "Character must stay at its current site" to "The character's company may not move." 1) &q...

Re: World Championship Mode - possible changes: no deck changing for Finals

With Worlds 2023 "trying" a top-4 Final with repeated decks, I've been thinking about the impacts some more. Disclaimer: I'm not saying any of the behavior I consider below happened in Worlds 2023. I'm just using the numbers from Worlds as a theoretical example. As mentioned earlier in the...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #201 Q4 - CoE Issued Erratum Smoke Rings & Weigh all things - Open until September 24th

I would be happy for CoE to remove most of its rulings. :? I have some additional points to make on this one ===== One historical reason to doubt that Smoke Rings and Weigh All Things to a Nicety target a card: Annotation 8: An action that requires a target is considered to have the active condition...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #201 Q3 - Hazards in CvCC - Open until September 24th

I have a strong conviction in a different conclusion. Leaving the CRF as it is currently written doesn’t follow the actual intention of the ICE NetRep's ruling, and removes more hazard effects from CvCC than was originally intended. I see no evidence of intention not being followed. "Hazard eff...
