PROMPTNESS:
Please let us do our utmost best to be at Jake's place by 5.45pm Friday so we cud start drafting by 6pm. Even if we perfectly do everything on time it wud still be a long night if 6-8 players r drafting. Not 100% sure if T1 is viable Friday nite so we shall see.

PARKING:
Please do not park in Jake's driveway. Street parking only (no special restrictions). Allow ample parking time as street can be crowded.

FOOD:
Don't forget to eat early dinner or bring your dinner to sneak into eating between rounds. We will not break for ample time. Eat before 6pm or in between your rounds.

NOISE LEVEL:
We also must not be loud after 7.30pm as our future Redemption champion wud be asleep. We await him in about 7 yrs at his 1st Redemption Nats.

THANK YOU JAKE FOR HOSTING.

Blessings all. Love y'all. Peace.

We’re excited to share with you some changes coming for the 2026-2027 Tournament Season! These changes will not take effect until after Nationals 2026, but we want to get the information to you now so players can begin to make preparations.



**TYPE 1**

We will support two Type 1 - 2 Player categories at all levels of tournaments.



**Type 1 - 2 Player “Limited”** (formerly called “rotation"). This is similar to Type 1 as you know it today.



**Type 1 - 2 Player “Unlimited”** (formerly called “classic”). This format will support the pool of all cards released in the game. It will be available at all levels of tournaments, including State, Regional and National tournaments.

**

Teams** will undergo some adjustments, which are still being vetted by the elder team. More details to come.

All Type 1 categories will have a deck size of 50-70 cards.



**TYPE 2**

**Type 2 - 2 Player** will undergo some changes to simplify the deck building rules and make the format more accessible to players. The format will continue to use the “Limited” card pool.

This format will allow 2 copies of a card per deck, regardless of brigade and type, except for Dominants and Lost Souls which are limited to 1 copy per deck. Decks will continue to require a balance of good and evil cards.

Type 2 decks must be between 100-140 cards. The Reserve size will be increased from 15 to 20 cards.



Experience credit will no longer be used in Type 2.

All constructed categories will support a unique ban list tailored to that category.

More details will be coming between now and August 2026 when these changes begin.
