Type 1, with one rule change:
Your deck can only have a maximum of three good and three evil dominants.

Now, for those of you that hate doms, and want to see the game become more strategy, rather than speed, this is great. For those of you that like speed, feel free to ignore this.

NOTE: Rob Anderson has given this idea validity. He has said that if hosts organised this as a category, Cactus would provide prizes. If want this to become official, we've got to do it.

Yes, it won't kill TGT, but one thing at a time

2 doms each side is better.

Everyone would just play New Jerusalem, Glory of the Lord, Guardian of your Souls, Doubt, Burial, and Mayhem (because it is actually FUN!). Thats just as bad as all 'dem other doms.

Exactly what I said.

I would play SoG/NJ/AOTL/CM/DoN/variety(mostly Mayhem) (just like I do now) so no big change.

I like how everyone else had different ideas.

Oh no, I cut out my grapes. Thats about it.

All that would happen to my decks is I lose AotL.

Type NW was an unofficial category that has a decent following pre-TxP. It required players to play without dominants. I still think those rounds at Nats last year were the best games I've ever played in any category.

I love type NW. It really changed the way you play and funny enough, the top two decks in it were so opposite, a heavy offense and a heavy defense deck. Proving both viable.

Artifacts are crazy good in that category though.

Type one, Type two, Multi, Teams.

That category?

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2010, 09:02:31 PM »

Now imagine playing those categories without Destruction of Nehushtan.

There's a card that came out in preists, It's called Lampstand of the Sanctuary, I get that feeling alot.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #16 on:** August 14, 2010, 09:05:35 PM »

Fair enough, but among other things, a lack of destruction means Captured Ark literally has 0 counters.

But that helps with the strategy of it. As said, I like it a lot more because I don't have to worry about losing 2 lost souls and that being game over with aotl sog nj.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #18 on:** August 14, 2010, 10:04:51 PM »

Oh, it definately has a lot of strong things going for it, I am just offering the downside as well.

There are alot of curse counters in the new (Di) set, I don't think you can consider Captured Ark as having 0 counters.
Even if it did have no counters, its a strong artifact that gets rid of other strong artifacts.

captured ark is far more balanced than don.

Thats like saying that you are more balanced than an Elephant on a tightrope.

I'm not too familiar with the newer cards, but I believe you're describing Mayhem.

I'm not too familiar with Malta!, but I believe you've described the "No, you're thinking of " thread.

BTW, Welcome back to the boards!

To all the Captured Ark folks: Thus why Doms are limited, rather than eliminated completely. Is three a good number, or less?
