So, sort of based on the way ROUT decks were generated, I thought of an interesting way to play Sealed deck online. Here's how it would work:
Whoever wants to play would post here. Each person would PM me what three style packs they would like (and because it's all virtual, any booster is available, including Warriors and Women). From there, I would randomly generate a set of 10 (or 8 ) cards from that set, one rare or ultrarare included where appropriate for each requested pack, and reply to you with your packs, as well as which deck you'll be using based on a coin flip (G or H). Then you build a deck as normal for a Sealed deck tournament, and send me your decklist. Once it's approved, you're in the tournament (which will be swiss style, or possibly round robin if there is a small enough number of people). Prizes are yet to be determined, but I do have a bunch of Redemption cash that I could spare, and quite a few extra TxP as well...
See following post for first round pairings!
Tournament Rules:
0. RTS and Hamachi ARE required. Sorry for those of you who can't use them. I just don't need the extra complication.
1. Let me know that you want to participate by this Sunday, April 18, at 11:59 pm CST. Also, send me your requests for which packs you would like.
2. You will then be randomly paired up for the first round, and one of the members of each pair will receive a G deck, the other an H deck (I'll let you know which one; it will be randomly chosen by coin flip).
3. You will have until Saturday, April 24, at 11:59 pm CST to complete any trades with your first-round partner, and send me a decklist. I will be checking to make sure that all cards that you and your partner are using are ones that either you or he received. You may trade any cards in your possession (cards from the G or H decks included). You must send me evidence of all trades that take place.If I do not receive a decklist by the deadline, you will be disqualified from the tournament, and your partner gets a bye.
4. The first round will start Monday, April 26, at 12:00 am CST, and last for one week. The tournament will be swiss style, so when you report games, be sure to include the scores. I currently plan to have four rounds (for a total of four weeks).
5. Deck building reqirements are as follows: regular T1 deck building, except that only one single-color site is allowed in the deck. You may have multiples of any cards except dominants and multicolored characters/enhancements.
6. Weapons do stick, as the rule that they don't was changed a few years ago, at least at all tournaments I've been in.
7. Name-on-name bonus DOES apply. So if you're lucky enough to get the G deck and Covenant of Moses in your Patriarchs pack, you're very fortunate.
8. That's all for now. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. If you have any questions, PM me or post here. Have fun!

Player List and Current Rankings
Player Pts. LS Diff
1.TKVPRR 6 +5
2. Redemption101 6* +4
3. Alex_Olijar 6* + 1
4. Red Dragon Thorn 6 + 1
5. Crashfach2002 3 - 4

* Fourth round pairings and rankings may not be correct. I need to find out if there was a result from round three between Alex_Olijar and Redemption101. Rankings will become official on Wednesday, June 2nd, at 11:59 PM. I will notify of any changes.
Scoring system:
3 points for a win, 2 pts for timeout win, 1.5 pts for a tie, 1 pt for timeout loss, 0 pts for a loss.
LS differential = your LS rescued - opponent's LS rescued.
A bye gives 3 pts and +0 LS differential.
If you ghost your opponent, they receive points for a bye, and you receive 0 pts and -5 LS differential.

I'm in, this sounds even awesomer than ROUT.

Sure Add me
-
you should rename it online deck sealed tournament...ODST. ;)
-
Totally In. H- Droppers ready! I dibs wash to be my voice actor.
-
i'll play.....
some how i know the proffs pack is going to include a KOT, AOC P (on account of an "error pack" and a FA
:)
-
Question: How would trading work? Also: I assume TEXP is out for packs? Since it is superior to any normal pack?
-
Also may I pick Blue Packs?
-
Hey, I'd love to participate.
Do we pick our boosters before or after we decide which deck we're using?
-
Also would it be possible for us to trade in any way? We could be paired with anouther player so we could trade with or something like that.
-
Well, that's 4+ players! So go ahead and send me an email with your three pack choices. Any sets except starters, tins, and TexP are available.

To avoid such baseless accusations, I will not be participating, just hosting. So no worries. :)

I guess trading can happen like usual. I'll pick first pairs and give you guys a few days to trade before you submit your decks. Thanks for reminding me, I haven't been played Sealed in awhile.
Also may I pick Blue Packs?
If you would like to...

You pick packs, then I tell you what deck you're using, just like normal sealed deck.
Also would it be possible for us to trade in any way? We could be paired with anouther player so we could trade with or something like that.
See above.

So no?

Look higher, like to my response to RR's question.

I'm down. PM sent.

Ha! I can read dont worry :p
-
Thanks Prof. I haven't played Sealed Deck in forever, so I couldn't remember exactly how it went.
Any suggestions on what packs to pick? ;)
-
I don't have time to play in this, but I think it sounds like a great idea. I would suggest renaming it to something more catchy though. Maybe TOAST (The Online All-packs Sealed Tournament).
-

My personal choice is usually one Patriarchs, one Apostles, and one Priests or Kings. Each of the G and H decks have an OT side and an NT side (i.e. G has OT offense and NT defense, H has NT offense and OT defense) so that way each side can be helped. Priests and Kings have better commons than the other two, so they can be helpful as well. Also, they have a lot of large-numbered characters, and battles are won BTN more often in Sealed than regular play.
But of course it's up to you. So far no one has taken me up on Warriors or Women yet, so you could be the first. Some people in the past take three Women: once Chris Bany did that and got two Falling Aways, and he ended up trading one for his opponent's Burial.
I will also post some reminders about deck building rules in the first post.
EDIT: First post has been updated with tournament rules and information!

I can't believe I forgot womens when I chose...DOH!
Is there any chance since its before the deadline I can change a pack to womens?
-
I picked a Womens..I always look forward to them in Booster, so I figured they MUST be good. ;)

What would you like to replace?

1 of my patties and the one priest into 2 womens please.

1 of my patties and the one priest into 2 womens please.
Sounds good. I have an Excel spreadsheet that allows me to generate random packs in seconds, so this is no problem at all.
If anyone wants to know my method (in order to replicate it) PM me your email and I'll send you a copy of the Excel spreadsheet. It's pretty nifty.
-
...something more catchy...TOAST (The Online All-packs Sealed Tournament).
Really? No response to this. I at most hoped for an "I love it, and changing of the thread name. I at least hoped for an "I hate it, that sounds dumb". But no response at all. That was very unexpected.
-
This is serious business. Please take your off-topic spam somewhere else.
;)
In all honesty, I thought it was clever; it's just that encouraging people to participate in TOAST just seemed a bit too strange to me. And since I am the host, I make the judgment calls. Yeah. So there.
-

No problem. If something else comes to me I'll let you know :)

If you do this again over the summer I'm definitely down. RTS won't work for me at school though... :(

There most certainly is, and in Sealed as well. I will add that to the first page rules.

-

Let me know by tonight then. One more person would bring us to eight; that would be perfect! But of course I can still take as many as possible, so sign up even if you would bring the number past eight! Also, I am working on making a Hamachi group, but right now my computer with Hamachi is down. I will let you all know when I get it together.
-
If your willing to wait a bit, I'll totally join sometime next week when I get my computer fixed, which should be by the end of the next week.

The first round will not begin until next Sunday, April 25th; this next week will be devoted to deck building and trading (which you should be able to do if you can get online at all). So would you like to be added? If so, PM me with what packs you'd like. Or you could be like Isildur and announce to the world that you're giving yourself a handicap...
-
Only 7 more hours to join and send me the packs you want!
drb and Crashfach, I still need your pack choices. If you don't choose by midnight, I will give you the three that I usually got for Sealed: one Pats, one Apostles, and one Kings.
-

-

The OSDT has begun! Pairings are updated on the first page. You will be receiving your packs and the deck you are playing with shortly. All trades must be complete by Saturday, April 24, at 11:59 PM, and evidence of any trades must be sent to me. Once your deck is built, send it to me by PM for checking. If you and your first opponent both have their decks checked and have completed all desired trading, you may play anytime (even before the first round officially begins).
If you no longer want to be a part of the tournament, please let me know ASAP so that I can adjust the rankings/pairings. Also, if there is one more person who would like to participate, please let me know here and what packs you would like, as there is currently an odd number of people, and I bet Redemption101 would like to play the first round.
I will be making a Hamachi group when I can, but for now you'll have to coordinate with each other via PM, as my computer with Hamachi is currently down. I'll let you know when that changes.
So you may begin trading as soon as you receive your virtual cards. Remember I must be made aware of all trades for them to be valid. Good luck, and PM me or post here with any questions!

Hey, anybody feel like sending me the G and H dek files for RTS :) I deleted mine a long time ago to clear up space in the folder ;) Yes, I'm an idiot who never thought he'd need them :)
-
build it i don't think you can send dec. files.
-

Actually, I'm not even sure if they came included...I just installed RTS on my work computer and only decks A-F showed up. I will build both decks and send them to you (and anyone else who needs them).
-
If you could send them to me as well, that would be great. :)

can you pm them to me in a non-zip file?(i want those decks)
-
First, I can't PM files, you'd have to send me your email. Second, it automatically puts them in .zip format (at least the ones I just sent did) so I'm not sure how I could put them in non-zip format. Sorry.
-
May I have those decks also? Thanks.
-
Pm'd for decks.

Pairings updated following a player dropping out.

First round officially began yesterday, and it ends at 11:59 PM CST, Saturday, May 1st. All decks have been checked save one, I am contacting Isildur now. Please report the results of games played on this thread. Have fun!
-
I beat RR 5-4.
-
He hurted me. Confirm. Darn not drawing CM in time.
-
r101 pwn'd me 5-2 in a very quick game.
-
early moses was the key, then stopping yours with 4 enhacements helped alot too,
-
Well, I never heard anything from D-Man or Isildur this round, but I heard from their opponents, so their opponents (Crashfach and Alex_O) get Ghost points.
So now the new pairings are up, and the second round will begin, and will last until Saturday, May 8, 11:59 PM CST. Please let me know if any problems arise. Have fun!
-
Yeah, sorry about that. He replied to my original message about playing Thursday night, and I was unexpectedly occupied Friday and Saturday evenings. Sorry about that Crash!
I should be able to play this week's game. :)

No problem. Just glad you can join us for round two! Not sure if Isildur plans on playing at all, as he still needs to send me a decklist. So, unless you hear from him, you might end up with a bye this round... :-\

Red101 beat me 5-4.

confirm its all about drawing ls
Sealed Deck usually is.

-
Win Vs Crash 5-2

-
Is OSDT still alive? :)
-
Bump. Any plans for a Week 4?
-
Bump. Any plans for a Week 4?
Assuming everyone is still interested, I can certainly host a Week 4. Before that though, I need to know if Red101 or Alex_Olijar ever played a game for week 3. Also, I'm getting married on Friday (yikes!) so I won't be able to keep track of very much. But I can set up the pairings for those who are interested.
EDIT: Pairings have been set for round four, but they are subject to change if there was a game between Alex and Red101. I am PMing them to let me know. This round will have more time, primarily because of my crazy schedule, but also because then hopefully the games will be played.
-
Oh, I hadn't realized you were getting married this week. This is the last thing you need to be dealing with right now -- no rush on getting this worked out. (Congrats, by the way!)
-
It looks like nobody completed their games, this week since no one has posted scores. I just wanted to say anyways that the game between sk & myself didn't get played because of me! He told me he would be online on Saturday, and I told him that we should be able to get the game in and never logged on Hamachi! I'm sorry that I didn't follow through!
