Calling all Type 2 players within 15 hours driving distance of MN or willing to fly in. Best tune up for National. Type 2 is a lot of fun right now. No dominant deck type, lots of options for good decks. It’s cold now in Minnesota but by March 13, it will be plenty warm.
Details for the 10th Annual Type 2 Only
Redemption Tournament March 13 - March 14, 2015
Location: North Heights Lutheran Church
Arden Hills- Upper Centrum
1700 W. Highway 96
Arden Hills, MN 55112
Lodging: Stay overnight in the church on Friday night, doors open at 6:00pm.
Money is available to help with traveling expenses for anyone traveling from outside the great state of Minnesota. The last couple years we have had a number of people fly in.
Cost: Free
Pizza, pop, etc… will be available for purchase.
Tentative schedule:
Friday: 7:00 Type 2-Multiplayer (2-3 rounds depends on numbers and how late everybody wants to play)
Other games will be available to play (bring your favorite).
After Multi is over we will play some specialty category to be determined.(Winning prize will be the only signed Buckler Promo in existence) Of course there is always a Perkins Run.
8:00-8:30 Breakfast for those staying overnight
8:30-9:00 Registration and deck check in
9:00-6:00 Type 2-2 player, 6 rounds (5 was too few, 7 was too many so 6 it will be)
We will be having an Ironman Tournament on Saturday for both those in attendance not playing Type 2 and those in attendance playing Type 2. Winner will receive prizes.
Besides normal prizes for a local tournament: 1, 2 & 3rd place winners of Type 2-2 player and Type-2 Multiplayer will get a chance for a special prize. 1st place in each category will get three chances, 2nd place two chances and 3rd place one chance. So if you won Type 2-2 player and placed 3rd in Type 2-Multiplayer, you would have a 4 in 12 chance to win the 4 Ultra-Rares in The Early Church Set.
If you are planning on staying overnight send me a PM so we can plan for you.
Any questions contact Bill Voigt (everytribe)

I'm planning to attend! As long as my time off gets approved at work (and barring any car issues again, haha) I will be there!
-
I will certainly be there. Just have to make sure I don't get scheduled to work. :P
Sourish category idea: Sealed or Booster Draft Teams.

So if you won Type 2-2 player and placed 3rd in Type 2-Multiplayer, you would have a 4 in 12 chance to win the 4 Dominants in the new set, The Early Church.
Aren't there only three unique Dominants in The Early Church?

I think he might have meant the 4 Ultra-rares.

Wild Bill has the only known copy of the ludicrous rare Buckler Dominant. Apparently he plans to give it away this year. ::)

What is "The Buckler Dominant"?????? :o
-
Buckler
Good Dominant
Increase selected Red Brigade Hero in battle 0/2 until end of battle.

Who owns it, and how do I get one? ;) About how much is it worth? How many exist today?

Luke this is a joke my friend there is no such thing as a buckler dom.
-
That would've been so cool if that card were real :( Thanks jbeers825...
-
It is real, but is misprinted to be a red enhancement with no special ability.
-
How valuable is it?

$.25 according to Ken

CountFount I traded you the original art work, Gabe is correct, I still have the only signed copy of the Buckler Promo. By the way I read your book, "How to whine at NATS", are you sure your daughter didn't write it.
-

The Guardian is correct.

Sourish Special category idea: Sealed or Booster Draft Teams.
I think it should be Sealed Teams. Winners will get the Buckler Promo ripped in half. It wouldn't be fair if anybody ever got to use it in a tournament.
-

Hm... Not totally sure what my "sourish" was supposed to mean... I got a smart phone for Christmas and since then I'm kind slacking on the whole "paying attention to auto-correct" thing. Now I don't even know what that word was supposed to be. Anyway, I'm down for some Sealed Teams.
-
Guessing you were going with "Special" :P

Sealed TEAMS:
Cost would be $10 but players can provide their own starters and packs and play for free. (Players would also need to provide their own sleeves. I will trade pack for pack if someone doesn't have the right packs they would like to use.)
Each team either gets the H and J deck or the G and I deck.
Each team member gets to pick 1 pack from the following groupings--
Apostles/Patriarchs/Angel Wars
Priests/Kings
TexP/Disciples/Early Church
Teammates can trade any cards from the starter decks or packs between themselves.
Normal TEAMS rules in effect.
Any thoughts?

And teams can choose to trade with their first opponent(s), right?
Also, there should purposely be a site limit as in typical Sealed. 1 per team, perhaps?
-
I think trading with just your teammate would be enough otherwise it will take too much time.
One Site per team might be okay but I'm fine if people would rather not use Sites at all.
-
I feel like we could just give teams 5 minutes to figure their own cards, 5 minutes to trade with the other team, and 5 to finalize their deck (including sleeving and getting it set to be checked). That only 15 minutes and we have ALL night (except, ya know, Perkins).
No sites is also fine with me, we can take a vote I guess. My vote will probably be no sites.
Also, (@Justin) teammates?

(@Jayden) duh.

Sounds exciting.
I won't be able to get off from work, I'm too busy trying to host other tourneys in FL at the moment. Thanks

Sealed TEAMS is a lot of fun. I played it once at a Redemption for Micah tournament.
We just used one sealed deck for each team. That way each team started with the same cards. I think I&J would work great for that.
Then each team got to pick 6 boosters of any foil pack (or 9 prophets, or 18 original, or 3 TxP, or 3 Disciples). They could then split up their card pool however they wanted. They could give all the offense to one player and all the defense to another. They could keep the starter decks intact and just trade in the better cards they got from packs. They could take out all the defense and replace it with offense from packs. Whatever they thought was the best strategy.
We didn't allow any trading with any other teams, and that did probably save time. It was a really interesting tournament and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. I'd be glad to try it again :)
Speaking of which I do plan on showing up to the T2-Only for the first time. I've wanted to come for many years, and I'm glad to finally be able to make it!
-
I think adding G/H will provide for more variety and strategy as opposed to every game being an I/J vs I/J matchup. We may end up seeing one pairing do much better than the other but it's just for fun after all. I would even be willing to let each team pick its pairing initially and see if it doesn't split pretty evenly.
-
Also, (@Justin) teammates?
One rule for sure is that brothers cannot be team mates.

Well, being that the majority of people there will be brothers d in Christ, it'd be rather difficult to play the category. I mean, I don't think there will be enough girls there for each guy to not be with a bro.
(@Justin(and Tim)) Anyway, if Britta and Tim are there, dibs on Britta.

That is a weird family tree.

I should just be honest and say that 2 Alstads can't be teammates. It's just not fair. (Tim is now part of the Alstad family and Britta still is even if her name changed)

I know some muscle in KC. Let me know if you need some assistance in persuading the "Boss". It just wouldn't be the same without you, Matts not as much fun to pick on by himself.

Matt told me when he sold his cards that he wouldn't be playing. Has "brother" Matt changed his mind?

It will provide more variety and strategy. I guess I'm good with either set-up.

We had one tournament where we used C/D, E/F and G/H. C/D actually held their own.

In my experiences, I/J kill all the other decks with all the Ruth banding and high numbers of the angels.

Would anyone have extra decks or extra TEC cards for borrowing? I might come but I don't have many copies of TEC cards for a deck. :P

I may have an extra deck I could lend you or you could send me a PM with the TEC cards you were hoping to get.

You might be able to still hold your own without TEC.
-
My T2 deck doesn't have a single TEC card in it. :D
Probably could add at least a couple (like Shipwreck) but I just don't use it very often so I haven't really had a chance to playtest it.

I use shipwreck a lot, it can be used as a good card sometimes too (just like you can use Grapes as an evil end the battle ability).

So, I guess if we're going to do Sealed Teams we're going to need to figure out a splittable prize... One signed Buckler promo seems like it'd be hard to split, especially if someone gets a Haman's Gallows.

Well since it is a local tournament, I will donate 2 TEC packs for the first place prize. If others would like to donate to the prize package, that would be cool. Maybe Bill would be willing to give each winning team member one entry in the Grand Prize drawing? :)

I would be willing to donate 4 signed promos. Goliath, Daniel, Faithful Servant and Buckler.

They are all signed by the Hobbit. They are rarer than the Woman Error cards. There is only 2 Goliath's, 2 Daniel's, 5 Faithful Servant's and 1Buckler in existence.

Yes, but then they are not worth anything. This is why the government does not print all the money it can make. He wouldn't do that, that would be silly.

Yes, but I would rather get a card signed by Rob than TheHobbit (no offence hobbit) ;) or maybe Doug Gray
-
But there are many more cards that are signed my Rob or Doug, the Hobbits signature is rarer, as so worth more.

I am sorry to announce that the 3 members of the Maly family will be unable to make it this year, as Tim will be in a friend's wedding in Iowa on March 14th. (Yes, they chose their wedding date based on Pi Day). I was hoping it would be scheduled earlier like it has been the last few years because we will be coming to the Cities next weekend since I will be on Spring Break.
~Britta
P.S.
In case you missed it...yes, there is a third player pending in the Maly family. ;)

Congrats Malys!

Checking them twice,
Going to find out who's wicked or nice
The Type 2 Tournament is coming to town!
Craig will bug you when your sleeping.
He'll bug you when your awake.
You’ll know if you have been paired with Craig,
When you laugh for goodness sake!
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,

Okay it looks like we have 4 coming from KC. My Son Jacob, Scottie Hoover (Resurrected from a few years departed) and a noob Bryan Reynolds. Be nice to Bryan he has only had one teacher... You guessed it. I expect you all to give him hope that he can recover from my tutoring. He also may need a partner for the Teams event. I have a partner, if he doesn't run off to a wedding. So any of you slackers who may want to play but aren't sure how to cover that extreme fee, I will pay your fee to be Brian's partner as long as you promise to water board him into a better understanding of the game than I have given him. My goal is the same as always: If your last name begins with the letter "A"....DEAD. If you look like Taliban residing in Eastern Iowa....DEAD. If you think Wild Bill is tall.....DEAD....in a very Christian way. ;)

The type 2 only is finally here! But there are so many questions that need answering. How many categories will the Alstads win? Will Gabe pass airport security? Will Emjaybee/and or Wild Bill keep his shirt on the whole time? Will Craig win a game? Who knows come and find out!!!

I regret that I wasn't able to make it to the T2-only this year. It turned out that the weekend between my son's and daughter's birthdays ended up being booked with a surprise blessing from God. Some friends of ours were given enough extra wristbands to ride all the rollercoasters at Mall of America, that they invited all 4 of my kids to join them for a couple days of super fun there. They all had a blast (as did I since I rode a few with them as well). We also were given the chance to stay for a night in the hotel there and go swimming in the pool. That plus treating us for a couple meals out, and it was an all-inclusive paid staycation. We were completely unprepared for this generosity. It really made for a wonderful birthday celebration for both of my kids who were celebrating for the first time without all their Oakdale friends. I'm just so thankful for how God has provided for our family in such amazing ways.
The only downside was that it meant that we weren't able to make it to the T2-only tournament. Maybe next year :)

I was surprised by your absence but it sounds like you had an awesome family time! :)
