Sports League: Season 5 Sign-Ups and Info

[Spiderman]

I forgot about the MVP card vote. I'd like to vote for

-Taunting Elf from Mooseman
-Ghitu Slinger from rokapoke

 

[Mooseman]

Taunting Elf? Really?
Slinger?
Are MVP cards just good cards or cards that unbalance games, like Godhead or Humility?

 

[turgy22]

It's whatever we want them to be.

Ideally, we're voting for cards that unbalance the games, but I intentionally left it open for interpretation. I don't want people saying, "But my card isn't too powerful." If it really isn't that powerful, then it won't get a lot of votes. Also, it won't be a big loss if it gets retired. Just looking at the drafts, I can tell that some people value cards much differently than I do. Let's try not to judge.

Addendum:
After completing my first game against Melkor, I vote for his Cursed Scroll.

 

[Melkor]

Yeah, this is really only about voting for cards like Godhead of Awe, or Humility, or Cursed Scroll . . . wait a minute . . .

Actually, I see this process not so much about game balance as about forcing turnover in decks. I don't want to play the same deck forever, so forcing cards into retirement hopefully spurs new deck creation.

 

[turgy22]

Oh!
Spiderman, Taunting Elf is a "rookie" card and therefore can not receive a vote.

Reminder that cards drafted this past season can't receive votes.
Also, you can only vote for a card that saw play in the game where it received a vote.

 

[Spiderman]

Taunting Elf? Really?
Slinger?

Also, you can only vote for a card that saw play in the game where it received a vote.

Those were the best cards that I saw during play They're not the best, I know...

I'll vote for Mooseman's Thorn Elemental since I can't vote for Taunting Elf yet.

 

[Mooseman]

Then I'd have to say Spriderman's Circle of protection: Green shut my taunting elf down and stopped any idea of an alpha strike.

 

[Spiderman]

 

[Melkor]

I'll throw in a vote for Wurmcoil Engine, I didn't even know turgy22 had that card (thought it was a rookie but apparently not), I was terrified of it the whole game. Woebringer Demon was the most impactful card on your side, but I'm not certain if it hurt or helped you overall.

 

[rokapoke]

I'm adding another vote for Wurmcoil Engine. That thing just doesn't die.

 

[turgy22]

I'm adding another vote for Wurmcoil Engine. That thing just doesn't die.

Sure it does. In fact, it can die three times in a game. And more, if I bring it back.

 

[turgy22]

I thought I had posted these earlier. Sorry.

Week 4 Match-ups
Rokapoke vs. Mooseman
Spiderman vs. Melkor

 

[Melkor]

I'll vote for Stir the Pride as the MVP of my match with Mooseman, although Taunting Elf did raise its ugly head again.

 

[Spiderman]

Taunting Elf did raise its ugly head again.

See! That card is a sleeper...

 

[Mooseman]

See! That card is a sleeper...

And a Rookie.

I don't think I really saw an MVP card from Melkor, maybe the Jodah's Avenger,
But it was a fast game and not a lot hit the table from either of us

 

[turgy22]

Mooseman, are you officially voting for Jodah's Avenger?

 

[Mooseman]

Mooseman, are you officially voting for Jodah's Avenger?

Sure

 

[turgy22]

Amazing parity so far. 80% of the teams are within one game of each other.

Week 5 Match-ups
Turgy22 vs. Spiderman
Rokapoke vs. Melkor

 

[Spiderman]

Didn't really get to see all of Melkor's deck but I'll vote for Cancel.

 

[Melkor]

Definitely Trigon of Corruption. That was a definitely a back breaker.
