| First Hearthstone tournament is here! Short intro to the game: In case you've been living under a rock for a while now, you'd know Hearthstone is a new online CCG by Blizzard, very fun to play and pretty popular. Starting the game is free and gives you the starter card set, while gold, which you can use to buy packs or enter the arena, can be gained through daily quests, regular games or arena runs, while alternatively, you can buy gold with real money. You can sign up for the game over at http://eu.battle.net/hearthstone/en/ or http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/ (Most have a spare US account, most of us who play a lot have our cards at the EU account though if you intent to play later on) For this tournament, we will be playing with the basic set cards in a constructed format, but we will not be playing with the level up rewards yet because of how early it is for some. That being said, getting the level up cards for a class takes certainly less than an hour, so all subsequent tournaments will involve them at least. For new players, the legal cards are basically all the cards you can use, except those you may get later (level up rewards, packs, etc.) For those of us that have played longer, this is the list of legal cards for this tournament: - Tournament Legal Cards:
Neutral Acidic Swamp Ooze Archmage Bluegill Warrior Booty Bay Bodyguard Chillwind Yeti Core Hound Dalaran Mage Darkscale Healer Dragonling Mechanic Elven Archer Frostwolf Grunt Frostwolf Warlord Gnomish Inventor Goldshire Footman Grimscale Oracle Gurubashi Berserker Ironforge Rifleman Ironfur Grizzly Kobold Geomancer Lord of the Arena Murloc Tidehunter Ogre Magi Razorfen Hunter Shattered Sun Cleric Silverback Patriarch Stormpike Commando Stormwind Champion Stormwind Knight War Golem Bloodfen Raptor Boulderfist Ogre Magma Rager Murloc Raider Nightblade Novice Engineer Oasis Snapjaw Raid Leader Reckless Rocketeer River Crocolisk Sen'jin Shieldmasta Stonetusk Boar Voodoo Doctor Wolfrider

| We have 8 and the tournament is starting.
Some things about the format of the tournament: Standard HS rules is that we play with different decks of different heroes in a best of X match, however since we are using just the starter cards, the decks would be very similar so it wouldn't make much sense to do that in this tournament. The matches will just be single games, but instead, since the games can only be just singles, the tournament itself will be double elimination. That means once you lose once you are not out of the tournament, instead you advance in the loser's bracket and still have a chance to win the whole tournament. You are only out once you lose twice.
Additionally, since we are only using one deck in each match, we won't be decklocked. That means, regardless of what deck you use in round 1 for example, you can use any deck in round 2, and so on, win or lose, you can change your deck and hero.
Deadline for round 1 is in 7 days. Normally it would be less since round 1 only has 4 matches, however there is the matter of people getting the account, going through the tutorial, getting the hero they want and perhaps even learning the game a bit before playing, so the time became 7 days.

P.S.: Do not forget the card legality list. Using a card that is not in the list is an automatic loss. | |
