Format and Rules for Limited

Playoff Rounds – “Dark Draft”

The playoff rounds are single elimination, played best two-out-of-three games, using our Dark Draft format. The playoff rounds are played best two-out-of-three with the higher-seeded player choosing to go first or second in a game three (if necessary).

Dark Draft begins with a shuffled collection of Epic cards from both the base game and Tyrants. Each player is dealt five cards from the draft stack, and they choose one of those cards to go into their decks, and pass the remaining four to their opponent. Then, each player chooses two other cards to go into their decks, and pass the final two cards to a discard pile of cards no one uses. Now each player has three cards in this deck. Repeat this process again and again until players have thirty cards in their deck. Put the leftover cards away, shuffle these decks, and play!

Format and Rules for Constructed

Preliminary Rounds – “Full Constructed”

• Each player builds a deck from their own Epic card collection.
• Decks must contain at least 60 cards, with no more than three copies of each card.
• For each 0-cost card of an alignment, the deck must contain at least two 1-cost cards of the same alignment. (For example, a deck with seven 0-cost sage cards must have at least fourteen 1-cost sage cards.)

For sanctioned tournaments, promotional cards are not allowed until they have been released in a product for sale at retail. As of now, only the cards released in the Epic set one and Epic Tyrants are allowed; the organized play cards and the Kickstarter promo cards are not allowed.

Each round, players will be paired with an opponent with the same number of wins. Matches will be two-out-of-three.

After several rounds of play, the eight players with the best record advance to the playoffs. (The number of preliminary rounds will be based on attendance.)

Playoff Rounds
