The format for the December Grand Melee is Christmas Angel. What is that? I hear you ask. Well...
As per last year, the December melee is free to enter (no pack required) , but you can only gain points if you already have points this year.
deck construction, legality etc, is all as per normal.
At the start of the game, the Christmas Angel will appear under the control of the pivot player (the player who is top of the table in terms of the leaderboard)
The Angel is a 4/4 white creature token with flying.
When control the Angel:
At the beginning of your end step;
if you caused a player to lose 2 or more life this turn, or gain one or more poison counters, control of the Christmas Angel moves to the player to your left.
Otherwise, control of the Christmas Angel moves to the player to your right.
If the Angel is not on the table it reappears under the control of a player as above. In addition you lose 4 life. Protect the Christmas Angel!
rulesy stuff:
The angel's ability is a triggered ability that the controller of the angel is considered to control. If you have other triggered abilities you may stack them as you wish. Other players' triggered abilities are put on the stack in the usual AP/NAP order.
The angel is a creature token, all rules that apply to tokens apply to the angel.
If a player dies due to the life loss part of the Angel's triggered ability, no one gets the points for killing that player, even if they removed the angel.
