Because I know you all might be wondering when the NPC Tournament is going to start, here's some info: the first round was planned to start next wednesday, but since the current brackets are already full, I might as well show you to them:
NPC Tournament Brackets
And here's the score report thread for the NPC Tournament.
Feel free to look up your opponent and report the scores. But to avoid complications, ask one of the regular people to observe the game, so that you'll have judges/witnesses. You'll recognise the regulars by their win/loss ratio.

And now some different news: there's been some fanatical balancing going on in the Balance forum, resulting into this thread. If you care to read all of it, that's your own choice, but there's a recap starting at post #134 of said thread. If you feel like you should join in on the final discussion, be our guest! If what you're saying is pure nonsense, you'll know soon enough ;)
Anyhow, if we're lucky the list might see some bete testing, like the previous list. As it stands, the suggestion list is meant to boost some of the weaker cards around to a point where they're more viable in regular play, or even in tournament play.
Like I said, do drop by to read or participate in the balance madness.
