Council of Elrond

Now to all players willing to take a peak into DC environment, we are looking for at least 4 more players, to really be able to test most decks.
All decks are tested and come with a thorough play guide, so even new players to the game or old players will be able to enjoy the games played in this tourney, as always there cool prizes beyond the fame

All one needs is a SVN installation to GCCG, (just PM if you have questions or run into trouble)

http://www.councilofelrond.org/forum/vi ... f=20&t=903

so we now got six players:
Hervé, William, Franck, Heiko, Luis, Eric, Nicolai

these are the percentages of DC cards in the minion decks. Nb. this does not include sites. (dc%, non-FF/NE %)

The Witch-king: Angmar Arises (30, 16)
Khamûl: Ringhunters (34, 12)
Dwar: Wild Wolves in the Mark (36, 17)
Adûnaphel: Faithless Stewards (37, 22)
Ûvatha: The Baradhrim League (38, 12)

The Necromancer: Rings of Power (37, 7)
Avatarless: A Few Trusty Lads (39, 7)

Balrog: Lord and Usurper (33, 7)
Smaug: Chiefest of Calamities (42, 31)
Adagor: Terror of Cardolan (34, 22)

Nice Gothmog,

also we got another player via PM, welcome Patrick, and Ernst via FB

so 1 missing to make it 10

yours Nicolai

By the way, where can we find the deck lists and guides? I know the decks haven't been assigned to players yet, but I feel it would be good (as a very new player to DC) to at least look over all of the decks before the tournament so that I know what I'm getting myself into!

Heiko will play FW Radagast
Luis will play Thorin
Herve will play Elrond

yours Nicolai

waiting for Eric to distribute minion decks, so everyone receives an even pair of decks

yours Nicolai

good timing, just got back from the holidays, so you set me to work immediately

not sure why I should distribute the minion decks, checks and balances?

but I will go over the player guides to make sure they are totally up to date, try to get it done by the end of this week.
Meanwhile those guides in metw/doc/dccd are 99% correct, for those who'd like to get an early start, but not all guides are there yet.

Hi all players,

please update core, Eric & I made some minor tweaks to some decks, mostly minion ones and SB of other decks,

playguides are underway, hopefully we can asign minion decks within next 2 days

yours Nicolai & Eric

Hi all,

after more tweaking than we would have liked we decided to distribute the 10 minion dccds as follows:

Patrick will play the Felagrog DCCD (Apprentice)
Luis will play Dwar (Graduate)
William will play The Witch-king (Graduate)
Heiko will play Khamûl (Graduate)
Eric will play Smaug (Graduate)
Ernst will play A Few Trusty Lads (Apprentice)
Herve will play Adûnaphel (Graduate)
Franck will play Ûvatha (Graduate)
Giewon will play The Necromancer (Graduate)
Nicolai will play Ardagor (Graduate)

pleaase update core & metw once more, all playguides should be up as pdfs, some minor card changes were still made

yours Eric & Nicolai

Hi all,

for the 1st round we had drawings for who goes first as a hero or a minion, Heiko was my witness:

1st round heros:

Patrick with Gandalf
Ernst with FW Saruman
Franck with Heirs of Girion
William will play Lord Denethor
Eric with Galadriel
Nicolai with Dain

that leaves us with the other 5 as minions for the first round:

Luis with Dwar
William with The Witch-king
Heiko with Khamûl
Herve with Adûnaphel
Giewon with The Necromancer

once I here back from all of you I do pairings these week as well

yours Nicolai

Hi all,

Eric and I did the pairing lottery for 1st round:

1st round match-ups:

Patrick with Gandalf vs. Luis with Dwar 2 : 4

Ernst with FW Saruman vs. William with The Witch-king 0 : 6

Franck with Heirs of Girion vs. Giewon with The Necromancer 4 : 2

Eric with Galadriel vs. Heiko with Khamûl 4 : 2

Nicolai with Dain vs Herve with Adûnaphel 5 : 1

please contact your opponent, do not wait for him to contact you, do not wait to meet him online, use email, as this will also come via mail

starting sunday, we could 3 weeks to shedule and play your 1st round games

yours Eric & Nicolai

to re-iterate:
1. you can find the guides at metw/doc/dccd player guides. The ones in core are age-old.

2. you can play and change the decks any way you like, as long as all cards in the deck stay the same

3. if you spot any mistakes or have any tips, let me know.

in an unannounced early morning/latenight matchup Logain lost to Dirhaval 0:6, my kids did not allow me to see much of it, so I am hoping both players will let us know how it went down

yours Nicolai

Herve & I play tomorrow 20.45 CET
