At least I think it's the first.

Here's how it's going to work: This isn't go to be a normal tournament, no sir. You'll go to the Gatherer, and click "Random Card", and you have to build a deck with four copies of whatever you got. We'll be playing Legacy I guess, here's the banlist and other info. However, if you get something that's on the banlist as your card, you get to use it. Fun.

Who's interested?

So are we using the honor system for the random card thing?

How about if I pull a basic land?

Yeah, we'll take in good faith you won't cheat.

If you get a basic land you need to put four of those lands in your deck.

Oh joy.

Yeah, I'll join.

I'll withhold what card I got though. (But I love it.)

Too bad Goblins are viable in Legacy, the poor pick notwithstanding. But a 2/2 for 2 isn't good enough.

I guess this means I'm in.

Any particular reason? Because I'd prefer if everyone told what they're using.

Fine...

Lightning Serpent. Considering how much fun I've been having with my mono-red EDH deck, adapting to this guy shouldn't be hard.

It's pretty much a Johnny deck. I can see myself using it in a mill deck and causing damage with Cerebral Vortex.

I like to combo Arcane Denial with Runeflare Trap whenever possible.

Oracle Attendants. Alright, let's get the utter amateur in here.

Say, what the recommended fraction/percentage/ratio of land-to-everything else?

24 lands out of 60 cards is a nice number. Golden ratio and such.

It's my least favourite colour combination. Just doesn't appeal to me, unfortunately, flavour- or mechanics-wise.
