ManaGrind is proud to present Wednesday Night Limited Swiss
With the Hearthstone going into Open Beta status, we at ManaGrind thought it would be a great idea to get more players interested in the competitive Hearthstone scene. Wednesday Night Limited Swiss, is very similar to our already popular Friday Night Swiss, with one key exception. NO EPIC or LEGENDARY CARDS. This is a fun an great way for all players to be on equal footing and give many of our new players the sense of competition, even if their collections are not strong. Much like our Friday Night Swiss this tournament will be held on our Ts3 so you get that personal community feel. So come on out and have some fun.

Specific Changes from other formats:
1. All players must be on our TS3 for this tournament. (TS3 info: ManaGrind.com) You do not need to have a microphone, just need to listen for instructions.
2. There is no sideboard, deck swapping, class swapping. What you bring is what you play!
3. Each preliminary round is BO1. Once the top 8(less then 58 players) or top 16(58 or more players) are determined, those players will play against just each other in a BO3 rounds till the finals.Finals are BO5. Please note that losing one round does not mean that is it. In Swiss you will get 5 or more rounds of play. It is possible to lose one round and still win the tournament.
4. Top 8 or top 16 are required to submit a screen shot of their decks to the Tournament Admin.
5. NO EPIC OR LEGENDARY CARDS IN YOUR DECK.
The Swiss format is the gold standard of most TCG's and we are glad to bring it back to the Hearthstone community after countless feedback from the survey. We at ManaGrind feel that Swiss tournaments will allow players to get more matches per tournament and have a greater experience overall for differing levels of competitive play. Please make sure to read all rules.
Here's my question about this tournament; If you make it to top 8 (AKA BO3), should you have prepared three separate decks, or is only one deck being used for all three matches?
We are very excited about it as well...With open beta and all these new players just seemed like a great opportunity to introduce them into a competitive CCG but in a more forgiving and fun manor.
I think, in general, aggro will rule the day; there is just so much decent low-rarity aggro in both class and neutral flavors. Mage, however, has strong cards in the allowed rarity range. Personally, I've got some secret tech in the works.
your not the first to tell me something like that...Some one was begging for this kind of tournament and So I made it then in a skype message they were happy to see it then yelled at me for not checking their raid calendar.

Can't wait, this is gonna be a blast!
Cheesus Christ.....I'm there!
Both a good idea, and, hey, you can never get enough Swiss!
I know right
Here's my question about this tournament; If you make it to top 8 (AKA BO3), should you have prepared three separate decks, or is only one deck being used for all three matches?
Assuming things are the same as Friday Night Swiss, you just use the same deck.
Excited about this! As a new player I don't have a ton of legendaries and get to see if I understand mechanics at all.

I'm excited for this!
What are you guys thinking of running for this? My thoughts:
Harvest Golem, Argus, Sunfury Protector gonna rule all.
I think, in general, aggro will rule the day; there is just so much decent low-rarity aggro in both class and neutral flavors. Mage, however, has strong cards in the allowed rarity range. Personally, I've got some secret tech in the works.
I almost not want to show up for raid and do this instead.

Definitely going to try my best to show up!

LOL dont be to sure Midrange can shut aggro down nicely.
I was reading the Prerequisites for the EU swiss and i read this
Is it possible to participate in this tourney if I'm deaf and unable to listen in on TS?
Definitely signing up for this one, seeing as I already play one of these decks normally. It'll let me test out my new variation on it too. :X
