Welcome, YCMers, to a tourney like no other. This tourney will push your creativity and strategy to the limit as you are forced to think outside of the box while creating a tournament-worthy Deck.

Participants shall be PM'ed a randomly assigned musical genre from a preselected list. Their task is simple: make a Deck that somehow corresponds to and relates to the theme of that genre. Participants may choose to build their Deck based off of a specific song from that genre or the genre as a whole, so a bit of research may be necessary in order to build the perfect Deck. When we have everyone sign up, the genres and their respective participant shall be revealed.

Now then, the rules:

• This shall be a single elimination tournament with a maximum of 16 participants.
• Each Duel is best two out of three, so Side Decks are recommended. Side Decks must also follow the theme of the Deck. Extra Decks do not.
• No meta Decks, stall, burn, or alternate win conditions are allowed. The point of this tourney is to force you to think creatively, given a specific theme.
• Genres will be PM'ed after everyone has signed up.
• Decklists must be PM'ed to me before the tourney begins so that I may approve them. If I do not think your Deck adequately embodies the genre, it will be denied. All participants MUST include a small explanation as to why their Decks relate to the genre. I'm not looking for Music Theory logic here, but at the same time, I will not accept "This Deck ROCKS!!!!1!!" for a Rock-themed Deck.
• If you decide to base your Deck off of a specific song, that song MUST be PM'ed along with your Decklist.
• After a Match, both Duelists must confirm who won in this thread.

If you have any questions about any of the rules or if you think I am missing something, feel free to PM me with your concerns.

Don't worry. I have plenty of different genres in mind, not just Rock and its subgenres. ;P

Oh, and I think it's important for me to point out that while I will make sure your Deck is relevant, I'm not going to be a complete and total b***h about it. Again, I'm not looking for some insanely deep Musical Theory. If your Deck sort of makes sense, it will most likely be approved. So for those people who think this building a Deck around a genre will be difficult, relax. It won't be too bad.

Count me in; I think a Tourney would be a good way to get back into the swing of things on this site.

Also, Rose, I love the idea here. Very original.

Oh, who cares, I'll be the music theory fanboy.

Edit: Oh, and please don't add VGM as a genre.

lol. VGM will not be a genre, s'okay. XD

Participants updated. 7 more spots, guys, then we can start rocking!

Gotcha. Updated.

Oh, and a fairly insignificant rule change that I figured I might as well point out. Instead of keeping the genres secret until the tourney starts, I'm just going to release them when we have everyone signed up and assigned to a genre. I figured it would probably leak out who has what, and it's not like it really matters anyway.

[Dwarven King]

*crosses fingers for a good one*

I have a question. Is Classical going to be used? And by Classical, I mean like Mozart.

I can't say....

Yeah it is.

Basically, I tried to stay simple in terms of genres. There are only maybe a handful which may seem new to anyone, and those probably aren't new to everyone. But yeah. I'll post the genres once everyone is signed up. If you're curious, get more people to join!! XD /shameless advertising

Please, Kamina, give me J-Pop...!

I was just making sure it wasn't just rap, rock, techno, etc.

This is probably one of the cooler ideas I've seen for a tourney in a while in all honesty.
