What is "The Best Build?"

Well, to answer your question, The Best Build is a weekly contest created by yours truly to which you create a build with the weekly theme (and following the rules while doing so of course), and a set of judges will decide which one is, the Best Build. The thread will be posted Sunday, and results will be up the next Sunday!

Do you win anything?

You win... bragging rights! And also, a graphic claiming your accomplishment. (maybe later on, an emblem? ideas, ideas). ALSO, the winner of last week's competition gets an honorable mention and decides next week's theme.

EDIT: Digi-kun *might* be able to get us an emblem.

• ONLY three staples allowed in a deck. Not three different kinds of staples, but three quantities of staples. Monster staples are included, but not if they are part of the weekly theme. (eg. Sangan being a Monster staple is normally not allowed, but if the theme is Fiends, you can use it)

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy this week's TBB!

[Cirrus]

What does it mean by "before 2009"? Does it mean the most current printing of the card, or the card's original release? If it is the latter, then the card pool is narrow indeed, but if it is the former I am completely fine with it.

Sign me up either way.

Well with the suggestion digi-kun has given me, I'll be deciding a pack-cutoff instead of a year.

 

[Cirrus]

Let me know when the limitation is decided.

Also, I think maybe two-week-long building periods are necessary? Both to prevent people from missing submissions and to allow more time (i. e. we get weekends!) to test out the build... And furthermore, everyone is winning just "by default", so perhaps a longer period is needed.

 

[Apple Juice]

I guess, but I need to see if that's essential.

I think I'll save the pack restriction for next week. NO RULE THIS WEEK!

 

[Apple Juice]

Ok, I'm tired of 'default' winners. This week's deadline will be NEXT Friday.
