Thank you guys for all the wonderful feedback, it is pretty obvious that the general consensus wants to play with the newest port therefore port 1.7.1 is effective for this tournament!
Big thanks to all the participants and all the viewers! The support means a lot to us especially seeing more and more people joining/viewing our events and/or simply participating in the ManaGrind community on a daily basis.
I think there can a lot of special tournaments. Like one where hero powers are banned or a tournament without spell cards (well maybe thats harsh so perhaps limited spells like max 4 per deck.). Since we are doing everything manually right now we can even try normally impossible things like hero powers are doubled in effect or 60 life or 45 cards per deck or something more crazy like all cards cost 1 less we can have lots of fun before the actual content comes. Maybe not a torunament but more casual games.
Maybe you guys can post up the results in this thread, as well as a link to the videos when they become available? Would be good to have all the info in one place and drive more interest in the tournaments.

What made you change your mind about the druids? (And that's good btw)
I have an opinion on almost everything. :)
We took a vote and druids were unbanned. Oddly enough there wasn't a single druid this tournament.
