We, the standard staff, thought it would be both interesting and fun to have a team event of standard on Cockatrice. We, the standard staff will field 2 teams of 3 and you, the community can recommend 6 users you think are the pillars of this subforum to compete as 2 separate teams. This is a unified deck construction format.
Balloting will last a week and the 6 users you guys recommend will take part in our inaugural 4-team community cup!
You guys can vote for your team here! So basically a user can post the user they believe should take part, thank (the symbol on the side) if you agree, the post with the most thanks will make it in.
Time and date will be worked out at a later time when all the teams are finalized.
The tentative teams we will be fielding:
Standard Staff Team
Myself
Koopa
Helix
MTGS Staff Team
Megiddo
Gerrard's Mom
Expired Rascals
yeah lets make it interesting, sure unified deck constructions
The rules:
With the exception of basic land cards, a teams combined decks may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title. Example: if one player is using four copies of the card Naturalize in a Two-Headed Giant Constructed event, no other player on that team may have a Naturalize in his or her deck.

Depending on what day and what time of the day the tournament ends up being, I would be willing to offer my services as a judge for the event. However, I'm going to ask not to be considered for participating.

I would actually love to play in this since it's a small enough tourney that it might actually be finishable in a short amount of time. Having said that, my vote goes to DXI since I've actually played against and talked with him before on cockatrice several times.
LP, I'm checking your article out as well. Behind all of your swag is the brain of one of the most intelligent Magic players I've ever known. I guess that's one more thing for you to add to the wall of ego that is your Sally sig.
I can go with that. LK, you are the Mace Windu of red mages...cool, tempered logic in deliberation, but capable of just flat kicking tail when the situation warrants it.
I really would like to play as well. I've won my fair share of events in meatspace Magic. (Not FNMs either.) If I have to vote for someone else, I would honestly vote for Tony, just to see if he's actually capable of playing on a team or not. (My guess is no, but we'll see.)
my vote goes to DXi, very good player and rather nice guy

This thread isn't garnering as much attention as it deserves, certainly not enough to fill the teams. Sadly I think it may be due to the fact that Standard is a little stale right now, with rotation right around the corner, so not as many people are visiting these forums.
Here's a question: Are we looking at Return to Ravnica Standard at the moment? It looks like spoilers will be completed by the time this thread is complete, and though there won't be a bunch of time to playtest beforehand, I think it would add a little spice to things. I think we're all tired of seeing/playing turn 1 delver -> turn 2 flip/ponder.
well there aren't too many users that i know and i have only played one person online so far (shinbatsu on budget decks) but i would love to play in this event, mainly as a way to get to know more competitive players.....
i wish i could nominate myself ....

If any one would like. we can use a mumble server to have Voip or even skype. When using cockatrice/workstation i personally hate communicating through text. Especially since you can do what ever you want without structure. IF no one wants to its fine but thats just a preference. LEt me know if you guys would like to. It would make team discussion work as well.
I know that my sound card on my desktop is pretty iffy in regards to Ventrillo. My apartment flooded over the weekend, pretty much destroying my laptop charger, but if I get my new one by then, I am totally down for that.
Well if we dont get anymore votes we could have the Budget team as a team
This sounds awesome. I have lost to some budget decks in my time. I don't know if anyone is familiar, but I once lost really horribly to a self-mill Scrapyard Salvo deck. Blew me out for like 10 damage per Salvo. I was playing Delver at the time and had never seen anything like it.

I'm good with Gweivyth on my team and Ryansolid and I have had interactions before with the Naya deck so I am familiar with him as well.

Hey, im also in the competetive forums too....
I frequent the budget forum because its more fun, and i love odds stacked against me when i play budget decks.
but this is a unified contructione event, and i have alot of non-budget cards at my disposal as well if need be.....
