Council of Elrond

Here comes a long tournament report! You have been warned. Down, Down There (to Los Angeles) and Back Again Goblin King’s MECCG Adventure at StrategiCon Preface: My old friend, Gandalf Gene, invites me to join him on a three, maybe four-day MECCG jaunt. I spend weeks planning and constructing the de...

I will be sure and run our usual ME gathering on Sunday. Maybe I can figure out how to play my decks by then. It will be great to see you again!

Hello everyone,
We will have casual MECCG at ConQuest from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
I will bring my Arda deck, my challenge deck collection and a couple of constructed decks.
After our time slot, we can continue our quest in the open gaming area.

Hello everyone, I've scheduled to run a MECCG event at ConQuest in Sacramento. This is our 4th year I believe. The event in November was really great with a few friends from Southern California and San Jose and Berkeley making the quest. I will have an Arda deck available along with a set of Challen...

Nice report TradewindRider. I think I've figured out how the Balrog deck is supposed to work and the hazard deck that is supposed to go with it. Of course, by the time I get to actually play it, I will have forgotten again. :roll: It was good times for all involved for sure. I really enjoyed the Ard...

I can't make this one, but next time, who knows?
Next time I head up to Brookings to visit family, I will give a shout. It would be great to play with you all again.

Let's be clear here. The original post is not talking about new players who don't know their deck. The original post is talking about stalling in the World Final rounds. Mark is asking about having those games clocked. The concern is that someone can play a squatter deck with a hazard strategy that ...

The clock can be used through the movement hazard phase. It only requires clear communication between opponents. Example: Player 1: Party One of Gandalf alone at Rivendel. He is not moving. Hazard limit of two. <clicks clock> Player 2: I play Doors of Night and ... Player 1: I have a response. Playe...

Well, I think there were several spectators with the knowledge and ability to act as a judge during this particular tournament, but I can see how that might be an issue at smaller gatherings. Is someone who is appointed judge in a game actually going to be afraid to use his ability to pass judgement...

Gene was the player ahead of me. He was playing a Saruman Dwarven Ring fetching Greater item bonanza. Someone played Ren the Unclean that corrupted the dwarven ring wearer Gloin. bye-bye 10 Mp. I won the game because of that with my 27 MP including 3 kill MP. Narsi and Glamdring stayed in my MP pil...

Doesn't the Council of Lorien tournament coordinator packet cover when a player is taking too long and eating up the clock? It reads: 22) Players That Stall - If an opponent is believed to be stalling for purposeful gain, or if an opponent is believed to be stalling through a lack of respect for or ...

Hello everyone,
I've organized two MECCG events at ConQuest Avalon this year. They will be held back to back on Saturday, Nov. 8.
The first is an ARDA game and the second is a Challenge Deck tournament.
Please come out and join us for this event if you can.

I had a great time and I wanted to express my gratitude to everyone for being a part of that. First and foremost, thanks to Mark for throwing this thing together and making it all happen. Also, thanks for playing me in the first round. I can’t believe we bounced Cirdan and Strider in the draft and t...
