The Games Club - Pro Tour Charleston Qualifer


The Games Club M:TG Pro Tour Charleston Qualifier 01.04.2006



INTRODUCTION Team Constructed tournaments use Unified Deck Construction rules: With the exception of basic land cards, a team’s combined decks and sideboards may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title. For example, if one player has four main-deck Naturalizes in a Team Constructed event, no other player on that team may have a Naturalize in his or her deck or sideboard. We have created a set of unified Standard decks, based on three of the decks from the Top 8 of PT Honolulu. These can be used for this PTQ to give you an idea of what you need to achieve when it comes to building your team's decks. Alternatively take a look at the coverage of Grand Prix Madison over at magicthegathering.com which has the deck used during the Playoffs including that of the winning team (Faddy Josh).
