The Sealed League

Week 1 (July 3rd-10th)

During the first week of the Sealed League, the majority of players signed up: Aaron, Aidan, Chris, Dane, Dustin, Hope, James, Jennifer, Jim, Jordan, Kona, Lars, Olin, Peter, Scott, and Trevor. (16 players!)

The first players to buy packs choose 4th edition starters and 8th edition boosters (for the extra land). With the realization that the 4th ed. starters had significantly fewer cards than the other starters (Onslaught, Odyssey), Jordan decided that everyone would have to start with 4th. (Much to Dane's dismay.) Other booster choices included Jordan's Legions (morphs are easy to cast in three color sealed decks), Kona and Scotts' Torment (Torment is color-biased), and Dane's Invasion (strong cards, at the cost of being more color intensive).

No trading was allowed during the first week, but as for trading promises...

Week 1 Standings:

Gross Match Points: 1st Jordan, 2nd Trevor and James

Win-Loss Percentage: 1st Jordan, 2nd Aaron, 3rd Trevor

Bid points: Jordan(33), Trevor(27), Aaron(26), James(25), All others(22)

Week 2 (July 11th-17th)

Two new players joined- Kelsey and Stephen/Ikaika. (Ikaika will be taking over for Stephen after he returns to Arizon in August.)

Colors and Packs: 12 players paid their $3 pack fee, and 6 boosters were opened- 2 Judgement, 1 Torment, 1 Odyssey, ...er, and I'll have to look up the other 2. Hightlights included a Reya Dawnbringer, an Angel of Vengeance, and Genesis.

Bidders also chose a color affiliation: Black(Aaron, James), Blue(Jordan, Lars?), Green (Dane, and three others), Red (Trevor, only!), and White(2)

Rules changes:
With so many players in the league now (18!), a 4th place prize for both categories has been added.

A bid point savings cap has been added (70 points max), to keep bidding active and avoid a rules exploit.

Scoring rules for multiplayer matches are in place now.
