Saga Master's Tournament

edited January 2019 in Sagas
(Taken from the tournament ideas of Jonteman, TenebrisNemo, and kandra127. Also keeps me content until I am the officially named Saga Master and when I eventually get to run a Tournament of Champions.)

You have come here willingly but your exit will not be as easy. You have heard rumors of a distant land only accessed by a special magic. A fabled tournament is held here by one known only as the "Saga Master" and you want to win the tournament. After traveling to a location seemingly put into your mind by an unknown force, you are whisked away through the Blind Eternities to a town unknown to you. You figure out that you have arrived at the location of the tournament. This is your chance to prove your glory to the plane and bring it home with you!

Welcome to the Saga Master's Tournament and the plane of Bravaria! This is another tournament based saga where fighters will compete with the goal of achieving absolute victory over your opponents. Put forth your champion and the story with them and compete against others willing to risk their lives to win. 32 people will enter the tournament with only one coming out the winning end.

Rules (Basically the Same):
-Create a creature or legendary creature with a CMC of 0, 1, 2, or 3.
-After each winning match, your character will grow stronger (its mana cost will increase) and a new, more powerful card will be created with the stronger character for each level.
-Characters can change colors each level but must have a core color that is always there.
-Write a 1-3 comment story of your character's origins.
-Characters of a higher level must be similar to their earlier versions. Main abilities must be the same or similar, secondary abilities may be removed or added. Make it look like it's improving.
-Champions must be balanced.
- Champions may be replaced/remade but only before the first deadline.
- Old cards are allowed as long as they match the requirements.

Instructions
Pre- first stage:
The draft period will be 2 weeks at minimum, this may be increased if the desired quantity of characters is not reached.
If the number of characters is odd a knockout competition will occur where the "best" champions will be taken to the tournament.

First stage:
When the 166 fighters have been chosen, The positions will randomized.
Champions will then fight in different arenas where the winners are founf through different factors.

Mana cost for the stages are as follows:
In the First Round you will have: 3 mana 1 signature
In the Second Round you will have: 5 mana 1 signature
In the Third Round you will have: 5 mana 2 signatures
In the Fourth Round you will have: 7 mana 2 Signatures
In the Fifth Round you will have: 7 Mana 3 Signatures

You may create a signature card that goes with your fighter with the same CMC restrictions.

What special about this tournament?

This tournament will focus on a lot of story in addition to the cards made. Each match will be held in different places on the plane and as the tournament goes on, people in it will help move the story and build the world. Each fight and the stories around those fights will have different factors depending on where the characters are.

    Gizzard was once a lowly guildless elf, trying to make his way in the world. Over time, however, he fell into debt with the Orzhov. Having heard tales of those who remained debtors even after desth, he was desperate to erase his debt. He submitted himself to a Simic experiment in return for enough money to repay his bills. His debt was paid off, but he was forever transformed into a lizard. He joined the Simic, as he knew he would no longer be accepted anywhere else. He began to study the science of genetic editing, and eventually gained enough renown to be assigned to a clade, the gyre. He delved into his research even further than before, and soon found a nexus of magic, a location where many leylines converged, in the depths of the sewers. He traveled there, intent on exploring this new mana source and securing it for his guild before the other guilds could learn of it. When he arrived he was almost overwhelmed by the sheer amount of mana coursing through the tunnel. Suddenly, the mana surged, and he blacked out. When he awoke, he could hear the screaming of crowds chanting, "Contestant! Contestant! Contestant!" He soon learned that he had somehow been transported to a seeming demiplane known to its inhabitants as Bravaria. He was told that a great tournament, held only once every 100 years, was occurring, and that he had been pulled from his home to participate. He was told that if he won, he could obtain incredible power for himself and his guild, and knew he was ready.
    (Hope this is good)
