Random Affiliation Constructed |
In this format each player will play an affiliation which will be given randomly at the time of the registration. That is why only pre-registerd players can participate. The only special rule is, that only the given HQ may be used. It is recommended to use Quarren Labor Shortage but that is not a must. Apart from this all the normal rules apply. |
Team Multiplayer Championship |
A team consists of two players and plays against another team in a 4-player-round. Team members sit together on one side on the table and are allowed to show each other their hand and drawn dilemmas to agree on tactics. Team members are not opponents when it comes to card effects. Unique events may not be played more than once on each player. To win a team must have 200 points and each member must have completed one planet and one space mission. Apart from this all the normal rules apply. This tournament will not be used for Decipher-ranking. |
Mercenary Sealed |
This sealed deck format will be explained in a separate article soon, it uses a starter and several boosters and won't be rated for the Decipher-ranking. |
GRAND PRIX |
The Grand Prix is the main event of the convention which is named after it.
While this event has been carried out annually since 2000, it has attracted
over 100 different players and prizes with an aggregate value of several
thousand Euros have been distributed. This year it will feature many prizes
and a special prize for the winner again as TK-Agentur Yvonne Ferstl will sponsor a box
of the brand new set What You Leave Behind! Based on categories* and additional wildcards the players will enter the final rounds after six rounds of swiss constructed.

Orbital Shift |
All you need is a normal Second Edition constructed deck and something to keep your thrill under control. Each 15 minutes you will exchange places with your neighbour and continue to play his or her deck! This format won't be used for Decipher-rating. |
1E Standard Constructed |
Take your First Edition cards out of the box and play them again in a Standard Format tournament (using the X-List)! This tournament will apply to your 1E Decipher-rating. |
Dangerous Missions Draft |
Booster Draft is a sealed deck format which follows the draft rules: each player is handed one of the three Dangerous Missions fixpacks (please bring them yourself) and 4 boosters from various sets, which are used to draft (drafted cards from the boosters will be retained by the players). In groups of 3-5 players each player opens the first booster and chooses one card. After choosing the first card, the remaining cards out of the booster are given away clockwise. Again a card will be chosen and the booster-remains will be given away clockwise. This is repeated until the last card is chosen. This procedure will be repeated with the other boosters, but the second and fourth booster will be given away counter-clockwise. This format is very amusing at the end of a day. This tournament will be used for decipher-ranking sealed deck rating. |
Farpoint Draft |
Format is Farpoint draft which means you may enjoy the history of 2nd Edition by opening new packs every round to improve your drafted deck!
Each player receives the following material for drafting (starters are not drafted):

1E Random Affiliation Constructed |
Still enjoying your 1st Edition cards? Bring them to play in an open format tournament where you

with a twist! Finally you won't see all those similar 1E decks anymore as affiliations are distributed
at random to each participant - so pre-registration is mandatory for this tournament.
