The T3 Magic 2014 August tournament brackets are live!
The entries have been finalized, the pairings have been made, so it’s finally time for T3’s first Magic 2014 tournament. And whether you’re participating or not, you can see the oh-so-glorious pairings here.
I broke my initial promise and extended the tournament to 128 players, allowing everyone to play round 1 with no byes. This way, almost everyone who signed up gets to compete, and even yours truly has a (mainly) spectating spot in the tournament. With 2^7 players, we’re sure to see some wicked competition!
Players will have until August 6th to complete their first round matches, though they’re certainly free to get through any other rounds ahead of schedule. Full tournament rules can be found on the Challonge bracket page, but certainly feel free to reach out to me with any other questions, either on Challonge or T3.
While I’m a little disappointed in the deck breakdown, I can’t say I’m surprised. Certain piles simply don’t have much going for them when it comes to competitive play. Want some proof? Tournament entrant Ancestral Visions is maintaining a deck matchup document that shows which picks kick more ass.
Regardless of the win percentages, here’s how decks turned out by registration volume:
- Avacyn’s Glory: 29 entries
- Chant of Mul Daya: 16 entries
- Deadwalkers: 19 entries
- Enter the Dracomancer: 3 entries
- Firewave: 11 entries
- Guardians of Light: 8 entries
- Masks of the Dimir: 12 entries
- Mind Maze: 20 entries
- Sliver Hive: 6 entries
No matter what deck you picked, I certainly wish you all the best of luck. But, even moreso than that, I wish you the best of get your goddamn games played and report them without starting a friggin’ incident.
Cheers!
Yay! I’m really far away from Daisho! This looks good.
So guess im the only one playing Hunter’s Strength =D
The 12 Dimir players are people of discerning taste, extremely good looking and very much deserve to win. Godspeed to all of you!
Your comment reminded me of a dos equis commercial in tone.
I don’t always play DOTP 2014 but when I do I prefer Masks of Dimir
Stay Tir-tree (Tier 3) my friends.
People with ovaries the size of small galaxies win tournaments with Dragons. Of course, such people are also unavailable for half of August, so there’s that.
Goodluck against Avacyn WiNG, I’m rooting for you as one of the minority decks. =)
Went 1-3 as Firewave against Janns Mind Maze.
Dem lucky counter draws in game 3 D:
Yeah, I pretty much drew everything i needed right on time in games 3 and 4
Damn Mind Maze *shakes fist*
My opponent rage quit game 2 after he lost game 1 does this count as a win?
Never mind there was a power outage issue we replayed game 2
Never mind my opponent had a power outage we agreed to replay game 2.
Hey what happens if you can’t get hold of your opponent by the due date?
I’ve send a friend request on Steam a few times, and posted in the TTT Steam group…I don’t want to get DQd coz he’s AFK!
Don’t take this for 100% certain intel, but from previous experience: If you’re making an honest attempt to contact your opponent and he doesn’t respond, say something and he will be DQ’d.
This is correct.
Ok that’s cool thanks…
but it’d be a shame! I don’t want glory through Byes :D AG will fall!
Can I / you send him an email?
My challonge email was in my junk mail so he may not even realise.
I went 2-3 against Mad-Mat’s Avacyns with Firewave, great games, and had to mull to 4 last game which sealed it for me a little gutted to win 2 games and lose 3 after each other but well played and best of luck to him! God damn the power of O-ring!
TNT-Master. Nope I am playing HS too, grats on your wn btw.
I think theres 4 of us as theres only 124 players decks listed out of 128.
Just played my matches against Kralzen who was playing Hunter’s Strength against my Chant of Mul Daya. Great games! I won 3-1, but just barely. Each game was a real nail biter, except the one where I mull’d to 4.
They are great games. I pick up Hunter’s Strenght both to play with something to avoid mirror’s match and because I thought I could stomp the winnie rush and slower decks if i play it aggressively.
I haven’t played much the 2014 so maybe it was a bad judgement.
Any good luck.
Anyway* good luck
I (Avacyn) just beat Keldorabull(DW) 3-1. They were some pretty good matches though ^.^
Daisho playing MM beat me playing CH 3-1. He played great and was just too fast for me to gain control of the board.
3-2 against sebna. Grave Pact, man.
Hey guys,
I used the promo codes to unclock the cards.
Where can i check which cards are those, so i’m able to remove them and play “clean” on this tourney?
E.g. On Dead walkers, i think nightmare its one promo card but it was already available before enter the codes. How does it work for this cases?
Sorry for bad english,
Cheers
Ok, i got the promo cards list.
Now just remains my 2nd doubt about cards that were on deck without entering codes (Nightmare for eg)
You can use promo cards from the first three promo unlocks, just not cards from the unreleased promos.
For clarification, you can use any promos from any of the SIX codes currently on T3. Sorry for any confusion.
Ah, I didn’t see the newest three. Good to know.
Wingspan do you like Jeremy from Pure Pwnage on purpose :D
The official rules state
Players may NOT use promo cards that are yet to be officially released
Unless I’m misreading this you can use cards unlocked with promo codes you can’t use cards unlocked by modding the game files
Thanks for clarification ;)
promo unlock Aren’t in these official deck lists, well they weren’t for Firewave which I just checked.

How are people progressing when their opponents are still marked as ‘invitation pending’?
You can just contact the player and schedule a match, accepting the invite is only required to post the results
Invite only just means they haven’t made/linked a Challonge account. You can still play against them.
I can’t access the tourney, and I want to still participate. I’m waiting on 2 things:
1) An invitation in my gmail at leshsteven@gmail.com
2) For triffid_, who hasn’t been online in 5 days, to respond to my friend request.
My challonge invite was in my junkmail filters, so check there.
I have the same problem with my opponent (4 days not online) though :(
The reason you didn’t get an invite is because you originally registered with lesh_steven, which is where we sent your invite. If you have both accounts, check there. If you typoed it, there isn’t much we can do, sorry!
I can’t get in contact with “24specialk”
GG to Leotheras who zombied me!
Good luck to everyone competing !
I’m counting on all you Hunter’s Strength players.
Sorry to tell you this but they have all been eliminated
Cool my google doc is linked
I just went 3 – 0 against cheatThedead MD
Thx for the games man
Super heart pounding matchs against death_atreyu. I won 3-2. Very intense games man, quite well played.
Just uploaded my round 1 match. I reported the results earlier, but here it is in all it’s glory =)

HS, MD, and ED have been eliminated
I lost 3-2 with my Chant of the Mul Daya versus Rainbow Sunshine’s Mind Maze. They were ridiculously intense matches.
GGs and good luck, Rainbow.
I lost 3-0 to Daisho. I went in knowing that they would probably be fast matches either way, because I figured that he’d be going pretty aggressive to deal with an already aggressive deck. He managed quicker set-ups and with some aptly timed FoW pretty much sealed the deal.
Still, I enjoyed the match very much, and I wish Daisho the best of luck with the rest of the tournament!
