Wild Tournaments – Join Ranked Tournaments with MMR Leaderboards
Long-time TESL player, YouTuber, and streamer AbellWild is organizing the Wild Tournaments tournament series. They take place every Saturday at noon EDT. AbellWild has implemented an ELO system that calculates how many times a player has advanced so that they will be matched with someone of similar skill level at the start of the tournament (non-traditional).
AbellWild is looking for newer players to participate in the Wild Tournaments. The format is a great way to learn and earn as they progress in the beginning.
If you are a newer player, you will be matched with a newer player. If you have played twice, you will be matched accordingly. Abell has recently changed it in that way to pave the way for newer players to enter the tournament. This more likely allows them to stand a chance against more veteran players.
The Hall of Echoes Tournament
At the end of ten Wild Tournaments in a series, Abell calls forth the Hall of Echoes Tournament. In doing so, he brings back all players who did well enough to earn a spot in this tournament based on their MMR. This tournament is the big one that boasts the most cash and prizes.
The first Hall of Echoes Tournament was won by Thuldir, in a match against berf7477. Bujinnovation took third place, and jtharp1272 fourth (here is the full bracket)
Hawksfire won the second Hall of Echoes Tournament against the Hungarian player Kusia_Kusmin. Salano2 took third place from Bujinnovation, who made it to #4. You can check out the full bracket here.

Are you guys going to have more card and function or gameplay analysis articles? They are fantastic!
Yes, we are currently rounding out the tournament section on the site which was a little under-developed. But there is always some new players looking for tournaments or opportunities to play competitively. It’s fun and a great learning experience. Let us know, please what you would like to read more of. Any specifics?
Oh just to be clear I think the tournament roundups are a great idea too.
This site has become far and away my go-to (really the ONLY original content TESL site — legends-decks.com for obvious deck reasons) for any analytical or even conceptual inspiration and brainstorming. In fact, I would say I learned how to play the game or more so how to approach and maneuver within the game from the in-depth and fun to read posts here.
Suggestions? Well… 1. I wouldn’t change a thing. 2. If you’re talking about future content — I love the spotlights on new cards, which really are way more comprehensive than just that card, and the articles like your drawing within each attribute series. Absolutely vital reference and organizational tool seeing as how there are so many cards and it can be overwhelming at first and even now. More of those on different gameplay aspects would be cool. Maybe a retro spotlight like those going back to analyze past cards in the same way. But yes, more of any of these would be awesome. I think there was also a post of videos by a player that focused on unusual or unexpected interactions and I thought that was an amazing thought to explore further.
I have one other thought that I am not seeing anywhere that I was exploring how feasible it would be to create, but I’d save that for off the message board. Is it possible for me to email you to continue this and ask some questions? Sorry for the length here, I am always so wordy, but all in all I think just more of the same peeling away of the layers to provide insight and references is working extremely well, for me at least.
Btw I just updated my twitter name so this would be how to link up with me there. My email is also screamhbkhawks@gmail.com 👍
