Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:47 pm
Hi all, on popular demand I am willing to have a new sticky with all rules in on place so to say:
all generel rules will be in post & download, set rules, deck contruction and so forth will be in download attachments
new edited rules are marked in bold
mfg Nicolai
the generel rules start here:
GENERAL OPPONENT DREAM CARD TOURNEY
The Tournament Idea and a general overview
1. Build your own deck using cards from all of known/existing Dream Card expansions.
MEDF - Middle-earth: Durin’s Folk – Dwarf-lords and the events in the Hobbit.
MEFB - Middle-earth: Firstborn – Elf-lords and the lost items of Eregion.
MEGW - Middle-earth: The Great Wyrms – Dragonlords and the Struggle for Power in Wilderland
MEKN - Middle-earth: The Kingdom of the North – Elessar in Arnor and the events in the Shire after Sharkey’s death.
MENM - Middle-earth: Nine for Mortal Men Doomed to Die – The Nine Rings of Power and the search for them in Barad-dûr.
MENW - Middle-earth: The Northern Waste – The Frozen North of Middle-earth where elf and man struggle to survive
against Morgoth’s legacy to the north.
MERK - Middle-earth: The Return of the King – Gondor’s battle against Mordor and the Hobbit’s quest to Mount Doom.
METF - Middle-earth: The Fellowship – Frodo’s flight from the Shire and the forming of the Fellowship
METN - Middle-earth: The Necromancer – Sauron’s search for The One Ring under the cover identity of the Necromancer.
METT - Middle-earth: - The Two Towers – The struggle for Rohan’s survival against Saruman’s forces.
The expansion marked in bold should mainly be used for deck building. Only cards marked with a # before the name are actually available for printing, so please stick to these cards for deck construction (or even better find some decent artwork for the card and submit it to Nicolai Willinek, so that he can finish the card up for you)
1. All alignments, except for Lidless Eye or Sauron are permitted (2 deck generel opponent (30 cards resource/hazard minimum with 20 cards sideboard)), though THE NECROMANCER is permitted. Three minor starting items are permitted.
@edit
Again here is a short rules update & clarification:
Sites in Mordor & Gondor are no longer banned, all may be used, but her comes the catch
Barad-dur is still in Ruins
Mount Doom in still inactive
For hero this means, that The One Ring must still be destroyed in the Under-forges in the Northern Waste
All hero resource cards referring to Mount Doom, exclusively apply to the Under-forges.
all hero resource cards referring to Barad-dur apply either to Minas Morgul/and or Dol Guldur (last ruling lies with the judge, yeah that is me)
e.g. The Ithil-stone was kept in Minas Morgul up to the day when it was transferred to Barad-dur; on his other hand Sauron keeps his Rings for Mortal Men with other favorite possessions in Dol Guldur.
To prevent a bore all heros must use the Balrog Version for Minas Morgul & Dol Guldur.
for minions this means:
Barad-dur is a ruins&lairs and nothing is playable there (no unique items, factions, characters etc.)
minion resources referring to Barad-dur apply to either Dol Guldur or Minas Morgul or both
e.g. Helm of Fear could be played on a ringwraith either at Dol Guldur or Minas Morgul
at all other sites in Mordor only non-unique resources may be played (so most likely no factions), with the exception of Minas Morgul & Shelob's Lair
2. At least 33% (at least 30% resources & 30% hazards, 3 % free use) of the deck must consist of Dream cards. Site cards are not counted as they are just a necessity for most decks. Players trying for fun or innovative decks won’t have too much trouble to reach these numbers of cards.
Decklists are therefore only needed for the dreamcards you use (site as well please), as we would like to have some stats on what cards were used the most.
3. Overall to keep the matches interesting and to cut down on squatting. For better planning, a new territory map file will be available to all players, which still needs to be updated
4. Consequently THE ONE RING must be destroyed in THE UNDER-FORGES, (all cards playable only at Mount Doom may be play at this site) an under-deep site in the Northern Waste.
Minions must bring The One Ring to Dol Guldur, as the Necromancer is in residence there.
MEDF, MEFB, MEGW, and MENW contain most of my 500+ dream cards and it is there that you will find most useful and playtested cards. The other expansion wield only few new cards, but some can be quite powerful in the right decks.
So if you are familiar with some dream cards, try and build an Dwarf-lord or an Elf-lord deck. If you prefer minion play, give Durlach, a Balrog trapped in the Northern Waste, a try. Not stopping there, try a Dragonlord deck (quite experimental) and let it Burn, Burn, Burn.
Playaids:
Before a player starts building he should have the following files (via email or download from the FTP server from Nicolai Willinek)
The 10 expansion files discribed above
The new Territory Map
The Northern Waste Map
When it comes to the building, depending on the stock of dreamcards you already have, you probably need at least some, maybe even many dream cards to print out. So start to build your decks in advance to the tourney so that Nicolai Willinek will be able to send you the Dreamcard picture files (trust me that is what really is the best part about it, brand new cards with new art). Depending on your card stock and the deck you are trying for, that every player will need about 45 new cards. If the tourney has 10 players, these 450 cards have to be arranged to be send away the week before the event (around the 10th of Juli). So remember that, since building a deck entirely from dreamcards is not what we are aiming for here (unless you already have the cards and there is no extra work involved for me).
As many might already know an FTP-server was setup for an easy download for all participants (for the login email me)
Below are some extra rules which go even beyond some UEP’s, so read them before deck building. Most changes were introduced to speed the game up or to cut down on things we don’t like (basta)
Meccg Special Rules & Errata/UEPs

• Ghan-buri-ghan, Pon-ora-Pon and Om-buri-Om are considered to be wose characters
● add to cruel caradhras: attack type Rock Fall; weapons do not modify
● there are no restrictions for cards which are included in the sideboard
● the hazard player may decide to use half of his hazard limit, to put cards in his play deck/ discard pile, before cards are drawn

● Dwarven Travelers only permits maia, which are manifastation of wizards, to be played after them.
another one I forgot:
