Card pool
Decipher's description: "This constructed deck format for Star Wars and Star Trek adds new meaning to the word 'lost'. Whenever a card is lost, placed out of play or discarded, you must physically destroy it! Tear it in half, screw it into a ball, eat it - whatever! Just know that you won't be using it again!"[1]
- Each Star Wars player brings four decks (2 Light Side, 2 Dark Side); the decks may all differ, and each is played only once.
- Standard tournament rules and current rulings apply, except that destroyed cards "may not be reused, retrieved, taken back from that pile etc."
- Four games for Star Wars, normal constructed pairing, standard game time, no final confrontation, free entry.[1]
History
An early DecipherCon 1999 schedule put a Star Wars "Iron Man" Constructed Deck tournament on Thursday 11 November, 1–5 p.m.[2] The later schedule lists Iron Man (SW.11) on Friday 12 November, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., and Sunday 14 November, 8 a.m.–1 p.m.[3][4] Results are on DecipherCon 1999 Iron Man and DecipherCon 1999 SW Iron Man.
At DecipherCon 2000 Decipher used the same destroy rule for a sealed-deck event, Easy Come, Easy Go Sealed Deck.[5]
