If you could create a new major competitive format, what would it be?

PentaCon (penta constructed)

The $50, 5 week, multiplayer format

Get 5 players

Each player buys an intro pack.

The first week NO trading (this is to get a feel for your decks and opposing decks) everyone keeps a log of every card opened in the intro pack as well as each booster eveey week.

Open your intro pack. Adjust your deck.

Play 5 games of free-for-all

first person to die gets 1 point, second to die gets 2 points, etc

Week 2. Each player buys 1 booster pack. opens it. Adjusts their decks. this week and all weeks after you can trade singles or full decks... but you CANT TRADE FOR CARDS OUTSIDE OF THE 5 PLAYERS. NOR CAN YOU ORDER CARDS OR TRADE WITH PLAYERS OUTSIDE OF YOUR POD. CARDS THAT WHERE NOT OPENED AS PART OF THE 5 WEEK POD ARE NOT ALLOWED.

again once trading is done and decks are adjusted you play 5 games of free for all and record each players points.

penta-con ends after 5 weeks. whoever has the most points wins. (This is a friendly cheap format so there are no prizes) (no prizes keeps sharks away or friends looking to forn power teams etc.)

the entire point of the format is to stay cheap and fun. you want to build to win but having no prizes keeps away people looking to crash the party)

Of course the players can choose to add weird prizes at their own risk.. or make some silly home made trophies or something.

Week 1: intro pack only. no trading

Week 2: booster pack + trading (no cards outside of your penta pool)

Week 3: booster pack + trading (no cards outside of your penta pool)

Week 4: booster pack + trading (no cards outside of your penta pool)

Week 5: booster pack + trading (no cards outside of your penta pool)
