Psychodrama drafts
Having thought about competitive psychodrama in the context of the justice thread, I've decided it's a feature that I'd love to have mechanical support for as a city thing. So, here we are:
-Let orgs set up psychodrama drafts as explained below. Let them define number of games per match, ikon sets to be used (or just restrict it to the org's set if you want, but that's significantly less interesting since you don't have set matching concerns when you're building your gestalt.), sideboard size(S), pod size(P), excess ikons (E), participation fee, banned list, who can join, and prize pool.
-When a draft tournament is initiated, people can sign up for X minutes.
-After those X minutes, Lusternia assigns people to their pods and generates and ikon pack of Y ikons for each person such that Y*P=(9+S+E)*P
-Each person picks one ikon from their pack and passes it to the next person in the list. Repeat until out of ikons.
-Lusternia assigns matches and people play them to determine the winner for each pod. If S>0 people can swap ikons between their sideboard and gestalt between games within a match and between matches.
-If necessary, the winners from each pod form a new pod and repeat the process to determine an overall winner.
-Winner gets designated prize, if any.
-Everyone gets to keep the ikons they drafted as a participation prize.
-Buying this for the city works like buying an arena game, but for the stage. It costs some amount of money that the admin deem proper.
-Running a tournament costs N gold from the city per ikon generated, to avoid having this been a magical fountain of free ikons for everyone. Since buying ikons usually costs credits, N should probably be pretty hefty. Might be a decent gold sink. Since some sets are harder to generate via questing than others (Assuming I'm not missing really easy ways to generate them) N should probably vary based on the set. Probably make org sets cheaper than elemental cheaper than Vernal/Soulless cheaper than eternal. Maybe forbid eternal altogether for this to keep them exclusive to credits/rankings.

Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.
