In-Game Sealed Deck

Sealed Deck is becoming very popular in the GW world, moreso because ArenaNet released the downloadable versions of the cards.

Therefore, it would be logical that ArenaNet add an in-game functionality to Sealed Deck. (It would be the perfect Christmas present, akin to Observer mode).

Sealed Deck would likely be on a seperate ladder than HoH and GvG. You would form a 4-man group for sealed in the same manner as a TA group. However, I'm unsure how to rank it. There are 2 ways:

1. HoH method, where winning Sealed matches nets "Teamwork" points (akin to Fame).

2. GvG method, where a "team" can register (as in the official Sealed tournment) and compete in a ladder.

The first method is PuG friendly, the second method is more competitive. Of course, ArenaNet could theoetically do both...

But there's also a dilema. A group could just quit if their Sealed pool sucks. Fortunally, the second method works better.

Any thoughts and comments?

I have no comment, No Opinion.

Explaination of sealed play...

Heh good times. Yeah I like the idea but I doubt Anet will do anything about it for a long time. Since they're too busy for Nightfall content and probably will be busy for the chapter after that and the one that. Maybe something will happen if they only make expansion per year.

Ingame sealed play would be amazing. I'd take this over the much-wanted "trade improvements" anyday.

I'd love it.

...its definatly interesting...

how would they put it in effectivly?

Observer Mode was unexpected, although Factions was 4 month away. Same exact situation here.

(Also, I refused to call it "Sealed Play." MtG forever.)

I didnt think observer mode was unexpected. They talked about it for a while before they put it in.
