• Hyper Extended Spring Update

    From Pork Horker@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 25 13:35:10 2018
    ****Update****

    There are no changes to the restricted list or the observe list. DCI
    Fireball is allowed but is probably worse than Kaerveck's Torch or
    Ghitu Fire in most cases.

    Also the following players are banned

    CircleOfProtectionDeezNuts - becauae
    Leviathan's Mom - Banned for confusing Mana Vault for Mana Crypt,
    neither of which are legal
    Randy Buehler’s Day Off - banned for asking for lists and thinking
    duals were legal

    **** The Netscape Cup ****
    Plans are being made for the Netscape Cup, the formats premiere event.
    Details to follow but it will be held in Atlanta, GA and no banned
    players are allowed.

    The Format:

    Hyper Extended is a constructed format which includes the following
    sets

    Fallen Empires -> Scourge. Including the Black Bordered Portal sets
    One and Second Age.

    Additionally the following promos reprints are allowed DCI
    Counterspell (Dom! Art), DCI Incinerate (JOCK art), DCI Fireball (JOCK
    art)

    No white bordered cards are allowed. No new frame or time shifted
    trash is allowed. You must use the card from the set and can't use
    reprints even going backwards. For example Ice Age contains Swords to Plowshares, you can't use a Revised one, or a crappy 4th one. You
    can't even use a gorgeous Beta one. Wrath of God is found only in
    Portal, you must use that one. If a card is in multiple legal sets you
    may use any, or mix and match to trigger your opponents.

    Ferrin cards are encouraged to further confuse opponents.

    Hyper Extended features a restricted list:

    Burning Wish
    Demonic Consultation
    Dream Halls
    Earthcraft
    Enlightened Tutor
    Frantic Search
    Goblin Recruiter
    Grim Monolith
    Gush
    Hermit Druid
    Memory Jar
    Mind’s Desire
    Mystical Tutor
    Necropotence
    Personal Tutor
    Tinker
    Tolarian Academy
    Vampiric Tutor
    Windfall
    Yawgmoth's Bargain
    Yawgmoth's Will

    OBSERVE LIST:

    Unrestrict

    With a restricted list in place, it can be argued that Tinker has few
    targets that can be considered “broken.” A powerful card for sure but
    possibly a candidate for unrestriction.

    Restrict

    Lion’s Eye Diamond has a converted mana cost of 0 and makes three mana
    of any one color. It's pretty fucked with Yawgmoth's Will.

    Oath of Druids is miserable but given the power level of the fatties
    might not be that broken.

    Hymn to Tourcock can lead to miserable starts and tends to homogenize
    black cards around its existance. Duress and Hymn together can make
    for starts that are almost un salvagable.

    Also the following cards were banned at various points during
    Extended’s existence and thus are worthy of observation in
    Hyperextended.

    Brainstorm
    Dark Ritual
    Entomb
    Goblin Lackey
    Lotus Petal
    Metalworker
    Mind Over Matter
    Replenish
    Survival of the Fittest
    Time Spiral

    I can't believe you are allowing DCI promo Fireball and not Mana
    Crypt. What a bunch of pussies.
