Melee Tournament: To Come

Play Level: Casual

Format: 

You must build three different decks. These decks have the same structure as the Premier format: each deck consists of exactly 1 leader, exactly 1 base, and a minimum of 50 cards in the draw deck itself. However, the Trilogy format restricts you to a maximum of 3 copies of any given card across all three decks.

For building examples, see the official Trilogy article. 

Best of 3:

Before any games take place, you and your opponent begin with a “Ban Phase.” In the Ban Phase, each player presents their three leader-base pairings to their opponent, and their opponent secretly chooses one of those decks to ban from the match. The two of you then simultaneously reveal your choices, and the chosen decks are set aside and are unavailable for the rest of the match. After that, each player secretly chooses one of their two remaining decks to begin the match with. These are then also revealed simultaneously, and each player uses the chosen deck for game one.

Whenever a game in the Trilogy format is finished, the winning deck for that game is set aside and can no longer be used for that match. Since this is a best-of-three format, this means that you will need to win with both of your unbanned decks in order to claim the match. If you lose the first game, you can choose which of your two available decks to use for the second game, but once you've won a game, you'll have to use the other deck until you win again. So, not only does this format test your deckbuilding skills, but it also tests your ability to pilot each of the decks you built, adding new strategic layers to every match!
