The Bracket Rules:

96 decks of cards will FIGHT to see who is the very best in esthetic and functionality (to be taken on a camping trip in two weeks.)

8 fights will be posted every 24 hours. The first round of the bracket will be 3v3 to get through more cards.

If there are specific pros or cons any of the cards have in function it will be listed, as well as any general thoughts or comments I have on specific cards.

PLEASE feel free to reblog posts or share this blog with others, the more voices I get on this the better!
