Interesting Suggestion

Hey Magic-League. I don't know for sure if this is possible, but I thought it might be an interesting idea to try some time. The suggestion is to have an undetermined Master format - with the winner of each trial getting a vote from say....4 categories(Standard, Modern, Sealed, Legacy?). As you can see, there could be some changes to the details, but the suggestion is to let the trial winners from the preceding 2 weeks choose the master format. I think that you could really generate some interest in the daily trials with a gimmick like this.

Obligatory line: Kaesh handles Calendar scheduling so he's the one to talk to about this

Now that's out of the way, I actually think this could be interesting in an L5R-esque sort of way in that it's the players that have the control. Logistically it would require some organisation to make work of course (such as trying to get the players to actually vote), but I like the idea Smile

I like this a lot, even if ML did it only every few months or so. I don't think organization would even be that difficult if players had a deadline to send an email or their votes wouldn't be counted.

Well... when there's a Modern Master, I usually try to enter every Modern Trial. If I don't know what the Master is going to be.... well, I probably will be less inclined to play.

aka, I hate the idea. But I'll only bitch before it's implemented, not after.

How about making every Trial a swiss to a T4, and every master an invitational where the T4 of each trial gets an invite? I keep losing R1 or R2 to the winner of the Trial so conceivably I'm the 2nd best player on ML and I never get a bye.

And I'm not being arrogant cause I actually think I am the 1st best.... now I'm being arrogant.

Great idea! It gets people to play in more trials to maximize their chance to get a vote. For anyone who doesn't bother or care to vote, they are likely going to just play the Master regardless of what format it is as long as its a simple format. I think this is a great way to get more MLers invested in their trials!
