Hello everyone! Atmaz here. This is the first week that SeeMeScrollin and I have officially undertaken our roles as Community Managers. We’ve been very excited to get started and have a lot in the works. Without further ado, buckle your seatbelts and let the managing flow through you! (as pictured above)

The Curse Change

Today the big patch dropped which, among other things, adjusts how Curse interacts with magic damage. Hint: It won’t! This goes along with the addition of “Pure Damage,” which has been applied to scrolls including Wildling so magic armor won’t circumvent her ability. These are significant changes, and we’d love to hear your views.

Go and talk about it! “But where, Atmaz?” Try one of the websites in the recently updated Scrolls Community Page! That’s right – we’ve dusted the cobwebs, trimmed the fat, and rearranged the list as deemed appropriate by the current state of the community. See something we missed? Please, feel free to send us an email at community@scrolls.com. We would love to add you and spread the word of your community involvement.

Community Events

This coming weekend we will have the pleasure of witnessing two tournaments take place.

On Saturday, October 11th, we will see the Finals of the Braggin’ Brawl between The Badger Guild and The Think Tank. Will the Badgers finally be taken down? With players such as Donkey74, PewQ, and Rotzbengel, I think it’s certainly possible.

On Sunday, October 12th, the ESL Black Market Cup #2 will be taking place at 18:00 CEST. It’s not too late to sign up! Not only will the winner be presented with the famous purple-horned Tournament Head, but I will be awarding them one Tier 3 Scroll of their choice! Don’t worry, I’ve already made Reloras pre-emptively.

Let’s not forget, these events are often streamed live by members of the community. Keep an eye on the upper left sidebar at scrollsguide.com and the right sidebar at /r/Scrolls to catch them when they’re up!

It’s Coming – a Scrolls Tournament Website

I’d like to take a moment to highlight a project that two members of the community have been working very hard on. Kbasten, better known as the man behind the scenes at scrollsguide.com, and Orangee, the mastermind of scrolldier.com, have teamed up to put together something people have been wanting for quite some time:

A tournament website completely dedicated to Scrolls.

Doesn’t it look beautiful? This project is very much still a work-in-progress, but there’s no way you can look at that screenshot and not be excited about it.

Their goal is to create a tool for the community that will allow for the creation, management, and execution of Scrolls tournaments from beginning to end.

What does this mean?

For tournament organizers – no longer will you be forced to keep track of participants on a separate spreadsheet, use a completely different tournament generator tool, and manually record all of the decks each participant will be using. This website will do all that. The tournament creation process will be very simple and flexible. Brackets will be generated at the start of the tournament with the click of a button and – get this – there are plans to make the wins and losses automatically recorded as the tournament happens. The bracket will run itself. On top of all of that, since this tournament site will be focused on Scrolls, you will be able to click any match and get information about both players and the decks they are using.

For players – no longer will signing up for a tournament be such a hassle. Upcoming tournaments will be listed for anyone to sign up for with just the click of a button. This is all done using your already existing scrollsguide.com account. It really could not be made any easier. There are even plans to have an “event calendar” of sorts so that you can easily keep track of upcoming Scrolls events.

The hype. It is real.

And that’s not all for this week. Stay tuned for another post later today with information on a community contest we’ll be running.

Until then, stay managed!
