[...] events, we just draft the latest block. Mircea proposed we play backdrafting this time. He first came up with the idea during the EDH vs. T1 debate last winter. Let’s hear what you think about that on the forum! [...]

After much debating (inside of my head) I’ve decided we host the game with 40% proxies. Read more in the event announcement post.

Please express the proxy number in percents, so I vote for 50% of the spells.

Vintage would be really great. I’m vote for that, with 15 proxies.

I concur, Vintage would rock, but I would up the percent on those proxies a little bit. Maybe it’s me, but my card pool is really “limited” if you know what i mean :)).

also the formats Mircea listed with his link are pretty nice but we could do some deviations like this:
Every guy comes with a 40 card deck (30monocolors and 10 multicolors, no lands) and a separate 30 card deck (only lands of which 4 basic lands of each color (20) and the rest of 10 special lands or artifacts that are considered to be mana sources. the only rule that the decks will have will be “no cards that allow you to search for cards in the deck or manipulate the deck in any way”. (we’ll have to come up with an idea so that at the end we’ll manage to get each one’s cards back.. notes inside the sleeves would be a good idea, since different sleeved wouldn’t be such a great idea as you’ll be able to tell what you are drawing)
The 40 card and the 30 card decks will be shuffled separately and put in the middle of the table.
This is a mass-multiplayer format meaning each one will be able to attack anyone (we could add vendetta rules in here to make it more spicy) and i suggest 20 lifes for each on the 1st round and 30 on the vendetta round (if we use vendetta)
As players will start they will each draw 7 cards from the big deck and at each one’s turn (even the 1st to start) he will be able to choose either to draw a card from the big deck or put a card directly from the land deck into play (no lands go in hand)
the rest are normal multiplayer rules
I don’t know if my idea is all that great, but I really can’t think of any more interesting stuff at this hour
