Arrco Tahoe Reprints vs Aristocrat Banknotes

or

Steamboats vs D&D Vintage Plaid

At least for this round, I'm trying to stick to decks that are really custom and/or ordered from outside USPC.  The Tahoes are fine, but the Banknotes are straight USPC, not much different from Rider Back Bikes or Diamond Back Bees from the corner store in that sense.  Maybe on the next round.

The Vintage Plaids, as I mentioned in the previous post, have already won against the Bicycle Series 1800.  The D&D Steamboats lost to the Bee Erdnase 216.  The earlier reprints - were they done as an in-house project or did someone outside the company order them?

BTW: black Tally Ho, circle and fan backs, were ordered from outside USPC, so they're fair game!  Anyone want to pit something against them?  The Maeda Tally Ho decks also qualify, as do the pink and the orange ones.  But do bear in mind, I'm trying to target decks that have a decent likelihood of actually being in many people's collections - so that pale blue "gold edition" Maeda deck that costs a princely sum might be a poor choice.  The green "platinum edition" would be OK, because it's not as hard to obtain - even though it's not easy.  I only used S&M v1-3 because there's enough people here that may have packs of them.

Here, see what's gone on before.  When I hit thirty-two winners, I'm going to pool them and randomly set up a tournament elimination grid.

http://aethercards.com/discourse/deck-battles-%28alpha%29/score-sheet!/

EDIT - BIG IMPORTANT STUFF!
With the battles I have lined up for now, I need only TWO more to fill out this tournament's opening round!

When I have those last two battles done and dusted, simply suggest decks you want to see compete and I'll select at random which ones battle each other.  No more pairings, just a no-holds-barred free-for-all, chosen entirely at random.  I will permit ANY deck, even Bicycle Rider Backs or (shudder) Mavericks - but none of those counterfeit Bees, please!  I don't even consider them decks!

For vintage and other decks, I ask that you consider the deck's availability and distribution.  It's pointless to choose some obscure deck no one has heard of or few people own because, since they never heard of it/don't own it, it's more likely to lose.  Jerry's Nugget - fine; Joe Palomino's Casino and BBQ in Macau (and canceled, no less) - not so much.  Aristocrat 727 reprints - awesome; Broken Spell - too rare and too much of a head-scratcher; that cheaply-made souvenir deck from Billy Bob's Country Store in the Backwoods - no frackin' way.

In total, I'll need SIXTY-FOUR decks.  You can use some from the current tournament, but let's mix it up some more and get some that didn't compete yet.

I got the final round done.

I'm accepting submissions for the next tournament - individual decks only, as they will be paired at random with other decks.  Looking for a list of 64 decks in total, preferably at least some of which are not on the current tournament's roster.  I will accept nearly any deck - see my post prior to this one.

Sounds good so far.  It'll be a little while before I get to the next one - John will possibly be back before then, and it's his board, so he might have other plans.  We'll see...

Neat. I'm actually a bit sad that there won't be any more suggestions for custom match ups. I still have a few rattling around my head.  ???

Part of the issue, though, was that some of the matches were too tailor-made, while some were too obscure - like the Dr. Leon vs. Toto's Bar fight which I believe YOU suggested!  I figure the way to truly rank a deck against its peers is to set the matches up totally at random, where you can have a top-seed deck go against another top seed, a totally left-field choice or anything in-between.  While it's possible there will be a number of utter blow-outs, totally lop-sided defeats, it's also possible that a long-shot will defeat a supposed favorite because the match-up wasn't tailor made.

Once I get my 32 winners for THIS round of matches, it would end up random like that anyway - it becomes too tough to match the decks with some like characteristics because of the variety of match-ups that led to the second round of the tournament.

I figure there will be 31 matches, taking roughly 2 months to complete unless I step up the schedule for the tourney.  Or people will simply get bored, I'll kill the tourney and just go back to whatever match-ups people want to see.

I was considering actually offering a real prize for the person who predicted the most number of match outcomes IN ADVANCE.  I have a Black Widow gimmick, hardly used, that I could offer - I tried selling it but without any takers.  Blasted thing wasn't cheap, either - new I think it was $250.  Tannen's sells them and has a video up on how it looks in action.  It's well made, but I have thick forearms and it uses an elastic sleeve to fit over the arm - it tends to slide off of my arm at inconvenient times, so I never got very good at it.

If I were to do that, I'd post a "tournament tree" just like for the NCAA with all 32 choices to date, then set a deadline to pick either all the match-ups or just to do them a round at a time.

C'mon, the Toto VS Leon wasn't TOO obscure.
But the random match ups could result in some really interesting or surprising results. It'll be groovy.
I also have some decks lying around I'd be willing to donate. (Legends and Albino Dragon Cthulhu). Maybe some other retailers could sponsor it.

"Wasn't TOO obscure?"  Two decks normally only available in Japan?  And not terribly common in deck retailers' stock, either.  The contest got all of three votes - two of which were from board staff!  :))

If you want to donate them, that sounds great - but rather than sending them to me, it makes more sense to send them to whoever wins them, don't you think?  We can stipulate that they have to pay postage to claim their prizes.  If you want to commit them to the contest, just say the word and give full descriptions - new/opened, color, etc.

I was out of town, so I couldn't vote.  :( But I think they're 2 decks that more people should know about. They're phenomenal.

But yeah. I have a Limited Green Albino Dragon Cthulhu Deck and a Red Legends deck I'd be willing to donate. Both unopened. Once the winner is announced, I'll ship em out.

"Should know about" and "actually know about" are two different things!  If they don't know the deck, they can have a hard time rating it.  Worse if they don't know either deck.

Thanks for the prize - when the tournament is ready, I'll announce it.  Prize will go to the person who chooses the most contests correctly, random choice among those if there's a tie.  Submission in advance.  I'll set a deadline date for the choices once the "tree" for the tourney has been set.

For the next go-around, I'm just taking single decks/sets rather than complete match-ups, so the pairings will be random.  I could put those decks in, but if not many people actually own them, they might not stand a good chance.  Then again, I thought the same thing about the Ultimate deck - I think at least half the people that voted for it don't even own it!

I'm still awaiting submissions from the lot of you for what decks you want to see go head-to-head in the next tournament.  I'll probably go big for that one - 128 decks, no holds barred, any deck type you want.  (Just don't be surprised if your obscure art deck or uber-rare vintage pack no one's heard of loses...  :)) )

By the end of this tournament, I'm going to take your choices and combine them with whatever I have lying around in my collection that I feel like tossing in - so don't delay getting your picks on deck.  (Get it - "on deck"?  :))  Thanks, I'm here 'til Sunday, try the brisket!)

DON'T list them in "match-ups" - this one's being handled "blender-style", totally random.  Jerry's Nugget could face off against Bicycle Green Trace...  (yeesh...)  Post your choices here.

I can include both decks, but the match-ups will be random this time.  Could be Steamboats vs. Mavericks that have been left in the rain...  :))

I might take Mavericks left in the rain over new ones.. Mavericks are about as useful as toilet paper.  If they were left in the rain you can at least have moist towelettes. :)

Oops. I was thinking of Eric Duan's decks and the Black Tigers at the same time.

The Rosefinch, Warrior, Oriduru, and Kite & Puppet decks should also probably be up there.

I'm a little confused.  Oriduru was a Bicycle Transducer deck by k3 Studio, not Eric Duan.  "Warrior" refers to which "Warrior" deck?  A few decks have "Warrior" in the title.
