If there's one thing missing from the hearthstone tournament scene, it's silly tournaments with silly formats that people can join for the fun of it. I'm interested in running some of these via discord, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to help out with organising some. I'd be looking for admins who'd be happy to run one tournament per week. Ideally we'd get enough people that we could run tours in each region daily, so that we could build up a decent player base.
In case you're interested, these are the kinds of formats I'd be interested in running. These are just examples, and other suggestions are more than welcome.
If I get enough interest, I'll set up a discord channel asap.
Set Restriction Formats:
Block Constructed: Players build decks with cards from a set chosen by the TO.
Year Constructed: Players build decks with cards from a hearthstone year chosen by the TO.
Build-your-own-Standard: Players build decks with cards chosen from Classic, two sets of their choice, and one adventure of their choice.
Extended: Players build decks with cards legal in the standard before the last rotation, and cards legal in the current standard.
NewStuff: A standard tournament in which all Classic and Basic cards are banned.
Preconstructed: Players must use Deck Recipes.
Banlist Formats:
Underused: Cards above a certain usage limit on ViciousSyndicate are banned.
Community: Each player joining the tournament may ban one card.
Deck Restriction Formats:
Pauper: Only commons may be used.
Peasant: Only commons and rares may be used.
Budget: A deck may not cost more than 1600 dust to craft, ignoring extra cost of golden cards.
Tribal: Each deck must contain at least 15 minions that share a tribe.
Staircase: Each deck must contain exactly three cards of each mana cost from 1 to 10 if possible.
HIghlander: Decks may only include one of each card. Reno-style cards are banned.
Colossus: Decks must have a combined mana cost of at least 150.
Half-sies: Each player uses Hearthpwn's deck builder to build half a deck. At the start of each round, their opponent finishes it off.
Casino-stone: Only RNG cards may be used.
Chess-stone: RNG cards are banned.
Play-altering Formats:
Blitz: The player with the least life at the end of turn 10 loses.
Boar Control: Minions have taunt.
OTK: If a player kills another player with less than 30 damage potential in one turn, they lose.
Sudden Death: Players pass turns until their deck is empty and they have ten cards in their hand, then play a game.
Sealed Formats:
Arena: Each player does an arena draft beforehand using a simulator to generate their deck.
Sealed: As arena, but using a sealed deck generator.
I know this wasn't the best time to try something like this with KotFT around the corner, but if I can get one or two interested I'll move over to reddit and try there.

This is really sick. I love build your own standard. And the 1 ban by each player like on batstone made for a cool tournament.

I created a Pauper (should be called peasant, my bad) hs tournament for next week!
