Part of PFG
- My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.
- Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
- With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
- I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
- A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.
In another CCG I used to play, probably the best one I've ever played, they had these Overlord challenges, what was pretty much a buffed up warlord (The dude that is the Hero in Shadow Era) with often special rules like characters they started the game with or some other stuff to make it harder. And after the tournament was over, everyone who participated in it and wished to do so had a shot to beat the Overlord challenge. If you managed to get a win you got a copy of the Overlord so you could show everyone you won and use it in further games. This was mostly done one Overlord a tourney, so whoever won the tournament went first and if he won he got to keep it and the rest was out of luck. If he lost the person who came in second got his shot at it. And so on.
Now with the Tournament System being add soon, you could give, for example, the top 3 a shot at the "Overlord Challenge", and a chance on winning a rare-ish card if they manage to defeat the challenge. It would perhaps break the metagame a bit, as in would you rather have a good deck versus the challenge or rather just swoop the victory and get stomped by the challenge?
No idea if it's a 10k idea or not. But sure as hell could be fun and attract a different crowd to the tournaments.
And you can do a lot of fun stuff with them, like make a Christmas themed one when the season is around etc.

I would like to have separated rooms where we can play in different formats.
For example the online game "Urban Rivals" offers that and I totally like it-not the game though.
There is a normal room where ppl just play with each other, a ranked room with ELO as rating system. This goes weekly and the high rated player gets a fat prize. Other prizes are given to the Top 100 player randomly.
Then they have a "Survivor Mode", where people try to get a high winning- streak in order to win daily, weekly, monthly, yearly prizes.
So if a dude wins 30 games in one day and no one tops that, he is the winner of the day. If his records stays in the same week he played, he is the winner of the week and so on...
Furthermore in the ELO part there is a banned list as well. SE might add a limited list imo. Like you can have maximal copies of Firesnake 2 times in your deck while playing in this room.
However something in that direction you guys might add.

I would suggest auto-tournament with special requirement for 90k.
-highlander (there should be only 1 card copy per deck)
-minimum card parameter (minimum 100 or 200 cards deck?)
-etc
this kind of non-standard tourney commonly organized using forum & IRC. The idea is to make them auto like the upcoming 4/8 ppl constructed/meltdown.

What would be broken about it? As in everything it needs proper balancing.
If you are referring to using the "beefed Hero" in your deck as I said before, they were used as a Normal character when included in a regular deck (well more or less anyway a normal character that you could only include one of in your deck) they were just "Hero" for the challenge. And they can be at like 9 resources or something so they are unlikely to be played.

That's kind of a good point. We have so many great features in the pipeline already that the next stretch goals should simply be "Faster! Faster!"
