Celebrating 50k battles with 50K SPS delegations

'It feels pretty incredible to be an early adopter here; to have stockpiled assets and used them to generate more.

It's easy for those with some momentum to focus on continuing to build that momentum and forget how difficult and slow it was starting out.
The early grind, the loss after loss while learning how to play, then the gradual climb through the leagues with the slow acquisition of cards.

Those days are behind me, but I remember them well and I want to encourage those who've lost to RNG one too many times and felt their patience wearing thin.

Watching the heavy hitters make more in a day than they've made in a month, and wondering how they're meant to catch up while traveling at a fraction of their pace.

So after 50,000 Wild battles I'm retiring and putting most of my cards to work on land, which leaves me with all this staked SPS just sitting there, and like anyone petty who finally gets a small taste of power, I'm going to become obnoxious and unreasonable and take out hits on players who are better than me; and I'll be rewarding those who do my dirty work.

Chairman's bounty

I'll be posting pinned Modern bounties in there, naming players and specific win conditions eg;

Beat @bjangles before the start of round 4

Beat @tarazkp with at least 20 total health left on your team

The first player (who doesn't currently have a delegation from me), to reply to a pinned bounty with a link to a battle which meets the win conditions will be awarded a 50,000 SPS delegation for 50 days.

Naturally anyone with a bounty on him will likely be aware of it and watching out for strategies aimed at claiming it, so bjangles is going to assume you're going to come at him hard and fast to get a quick win. These won't be easy, but it'll be worth it. I'll select targets myself, but if anyone has any cool win condition ideas, it'd be great to hear them in the comments.

I'll put up at least 100 bounties before the end of the year, and see how it all goes.

Good luck out there, and thanks for being part of the best community on the internet.

Congrats on reaching 50k battles. I still have a long way to go before I reach that many battles. Winning against either bjangles or taraz is already challenging in itself, so the added conditions make it more challenging.

50,000 battles is quite a milestone, impressive! Good luck on your retirement to land!

The bounties are a great idea, I love that concept. I'll share this with my guild mates to make sure they see it.

This is such an awesome way to celebrate the milestone, MC!

I will be pulling up the bounties for the details anytime I come across any of these folks in attempt to secure some loot (though I will be lookin for worthy new players to receive the delegation on my behalf, if that's alright)!

At any rate, I look forward to the day that there are game modes and a shift in the play that are too compelling for you to ignore and you un-retire once again (yea, I don't believe there's any way that this retirement is permanent ;) )

Thanks for putting this whole thing together, amigo!

I'm totally happy to make the delegation transferable.
As land gets more complex un-retirement gets less likely; but I'll stil do brawls and dabble in frontier for the time being. Can't stop all at once, I'll get the shakes.

I've heard from some newer players that my targets are playing at too high a level for a newcomer to reasonably take down, which I totally get.
Not everyone's in a position to rent cards and go deep in the paint. I've added a couple of accounts from the silver leaderboard, as targets.
