Council of Elrond

Hi all,

we are planning to bring together 2 of the most player drawing formats ever: Nations Cup & Dream Cards :=)

well as most people do not know DC, but still like the challenge of a head to head matches of the Nations Cup, we decided to play a Dream Card Challenge Deck event so it will be NC DCCD

1) Teams will be "true Nations" teams only, mixed teams will only be allowed in rare cases (where 1 player is missing to a team), but please make the effort to defend your Nation's honor.

2) Decks: each team will get 3 different DCCDs in a lottery, 1 of each alignment:
White player (hero, including Lords),
Grey players (Balrogs, Dragon-lords or non-Sauron allied War-lords),
Dark-player (Ringwraiths or Sauron alignment)
Team choose then which of their players plays which deck for the entire event.

3) Format: all games will be X-alignment pairings, if possible these will be paired 1st: so games of the same alignment will not be happening too likely (so even if white player vs white players can occur it will be Lords of a different races match-ups for these game)
So captains will not always meet each other each round. Still the captain's performance will be the tiebreaker (in these rarely needed ties)

4) Number of teams: we have 22 (25 are in the import section) decks ready so 6 teams can easily be equipped, in the rare case of 7-8 team 2 more DCCD will be finished no problem, so we do not have any byes

5) 3 Rounds will be played, lasting 10 days unless all matches finish earlier.
After that we go into Semi-final mode (for semifinals) deck can be switched (only deck not taken by others, but this will also be held in a lottery, so you might end up worse)

Please teams use the poll & sign up in here, but please no discussions in here, there will be another post for that

i will play whenever it is, not sure if i can gather an Argentinian team though, since many of my countryman have some busy schedules...

Team Flying Dutchmen is present. If you don't mind I borrow Bert from Flaneltina, Marcos.
We will find a third person, if I have to teach my grandma meccg myself!

since no preparation is needed other than exploring the deck, time consumption is limited, so 1 game a week should be doable whenever, hopefully.

1) Team Argentina
Marcos (Captain)
Angblung
Asathor

2) Team Germany 1
Vastor Peredhil aka Nicolai Willinek (Captain)
beorning aka Karsten Gerland (confirmed)
Balrog aka Mario Nau-Theissen
(these 2 still need to confirm, but we talked about it)

next please

It`s an honor to me!
A cool Job to be done!
I`m hungry
Whenever , wherever, a pleasure to me!

Hi all,

well I got several emails, 1 from Bernd the other from Wolfgang, so it seem team Austria is only 1 player short for their team

mfg Nico

P.S. come on Spain & Finland out of the hiding

Hi,

I' m in for Germany Team 2. If it's not possible to find 2 other german players then I register to Austria Team.

I'm in. When do we start?

well Kufel is also in,

so we need 2 more nations or 4 more players to compete the last 2 teams, this could take a couple more days

ASA we have our teams deck lottery will be done

mfg Nico

Looks like a 5th is forming, so we still need a spanish/italian team, come on guys bring it, do not let us hang here ?

mfg Nicolai

I am proud to announce a polish team

kufel
Gothmogg
karmi (his ancestors came from Poland, so I allow it )

so we are still hoping for a 6th and final team

maybe Spain & Italy could team up

remember the fun & prices will be huge

Yours all Nicolai

Well I am hoping

donepi & Mados to form the core of a spanish team, so stay tuned

So I believe we are having 12 players after all:

I am proposing we use these 12 decks:

6 White-players (Heros & Lords):
DCCD - Dunadan-lord - Denethor - Captains of Gondor
DCCD - Dwarf-lord - Dain - King under the Mountain
DCCD - Dwarf-lord - Thrain - Last of the Seven
DCCD - Elf-lord - Cirdan - Keeper of the Passage AV
DCCD - Elf-lord - Thranduil - Protector of Greenwood
DCCD - Man-lord - Theoden - A Grim Morn and a Golden Sunset

3 Dark-players:
DCCD - Minion - Avatarless - A Few Trusty Lads
DCCD - Minion - The Necromancer - Rings of Power
DCCD - Ringwraith - The Witch-king - Angmar Arises

3 Grey-players:
DCCD - Balrog - Felagrog - Lord and Usurper
DCCD - Dragon-lord - Smaug - The Golden
DCCD - Minion - War-lord - Ardagor - Terror of Cardolan AV

each team will be given 3 random decks from this list (but not team will get more than 2 lords or 1 of the other two types)
or would you guys rather have all 20 decks in the lottery (the same aligment giving rules apply)?

yours Nicolai

better have all decks

well obviously we be 18 players

so I will add 6 more decks out of the 22

mfg Nico
