Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
For the purposes of a competitive event (tournament), with just the base and one expansion available currently, would it make sense to play at 500 point max with single color PWs only? Kiora would be allowed to be used, but would need to be used as either a blue PW or a green PW. That would provide some army and deck building options (a minor amount, but some) and potentially 8 different PW options. Part of the reasoning behind this is to minimize the number of mirror matches in a 16 player event.

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
I still say just hold out for a 3rd set, as long as it releases before August, the 500 vs. 600 answer should be much clearer.

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
Both the base set and the expansion have release on Amazon ~1 1/2 - 2 months early, so we might get lucky on timing

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
Yeah, and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out in time for GenCon.

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
Can someone explain the Deck construction rules for the GenCon event?
"Bring a pre-drafted army & spell deck (500 point limit)" Does this mean that you can have 500 pts of units and spells combined? Also, I hear the new rulebook states that one copy max of each spell card can be included in your deck. Is this true? Thanks for your help. |

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
As per the rules, Spell Decks are always exactly 12 cards(no duplicates) and a maximum of 200 points.
500 is the total army cost for figures which is the original standard. Good luck, wish I could get into that one. A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow - Eslo Rudkey |

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
Yes, I was mistaken at first by the description as well. 500 point army + 200 point spells. See and contributed to AotP 500 point army and deck (Good for Gencon) and check out the All possible army combinations (500 points)

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
Hi - I'm new to this forum.
I've signed up for the Magic AOTP tourament at GenCon and was wondering since the new Expansion is now out, if there was any thought to going to 600 points for the armies? (In the official rules, it now says 600 points.) Thanks - looking forward to playing at GenCon and perusing these forums. |

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
Welcome
@CT1001
. Thursday night tournament will be 500 point army + 200 point spell deck, set for all; it was submitted before even Zendikar, so is too late to change. There is an open event Friday night at 9pm, that I am sure some people would want to play a 600 point game or two. Maybe next year we can do 600. BTW, here is some stuff I posted on planeswalker arena, but I want to make sure I am correct:

Re: AotP at Gencon 2016
Thank you very much for the response - that's very helpful.
BTW, I've never played Heroscape and don't know much about it, so the Heroscape specific terrain is going to be totally new to me. Hopefully, I won't be too lost playing on it. Not sure what I've booked for Friday night, but if I'm able (and not too demoralized from Thursday), I'll try to make it then as well. One last question: Will we be using the rules out of the new expansion as well as the base set? I believe there are a few things that have changed, such as road travel rules, etc. Also, I'm assuming we can use the characters from the expansion as well? Thanks again! |
