How does the decking work?

Say its DroneOn and Killa vs Tripp and Karstien in round 1

I choose OD and he choose CL.

We play you a best of 3 and each game of that three we use a different deck or after every match we switch decks?

And you are providing us with the four decks?

And while you write this:

There is no real way to prove it's two players with one console. Hell, there is no way to prove it conclusively with two, but it's a reasonably safe bet.

There is no real way to prove you drew the cards you did so why not just let everyone pick their decks? Are we not trying to be competitve here?

Is there a scheduling of matches, or just find your opponents as you're able?  I'd be interested to participate.

Scheduling will be a nightmare, but I kept open some spots so I can try it. But if you are finding it hard to play a certain match, then skip ahead by all means and re-visit it later. There is no reason not to, just inform me when it's over, and i'll generate your new decks. 

@Aaronjonchesney

It isn't just the turns we give them, but the deck generation too. What, I just give one guy 10 decks and he chooses how he runs them by himself? Besides, as mentioned, this is about solid teamwork, so find the right partner for you, and practice. Discuss your builds in private to compliment each others. As for DP, like I already said, it was mainly a joke. I hate how easy it is, doing a 1v1's amount of work to win, when the life and creature/removal count is raised to make life harder for the other decks, but there are ways around it, and if t is generated, it's still only in one round of the match, but we will see what others think too.

I just answered your last one, i'm not fussy who draws the decks, as long as it's one person. as for how it works, each player gets their decks, and can play each once. If you both have the same two decks, congrats, you can play them both I guess. Have fun. And don't ever think i'm taking offence from the questions, I like getting things sorted out ahead of time. It's what makes me rather good at organising things, if I do say so myself. And I do.

EDIT:: Diff deck each round, sorry, missed that question. 

So I choose a deck and you randomly choose four more.

I pick one of those five decks to play all three games in round 1 with? Is this correct?

Then at the start of round two, I still have my deck but can't use it if I used it in round 1? I have to use all the decks before using any one twice?

I'll play but I need a partner with a mic. I want someone who is going to communicate during the game and who is willing to collaborate/deck build for a few minutes pre-game..... I may be able to find someone at any rate but again, timing will be the biggest fuss...

Oh and the game won't allow us to play the same color so suppose me and my partner use four decks and during round 5 we both have OD open. What happens?

Well, the way I originally planned it, is you choose a deck, I generate four more. You use one per round, 3 per match, and then you get another four. But if we are getting somebody else to generate them, then we need both a willing helper, who is impartial by the way, and could we count on them to draw new decks for every player after every match they play? I was willing to do it, but we now need a new system, because to do all that without ever playing in it is a little much, right? And you can use your chosen deck once per match, in one round only. But you can use it every match. 

The good thing about it was if you got a bad draw of decks, you only had to put up with them for one round. Same as if somebody got the perfect draw. By the way, every league and tourney so far has been ran by a person playing it drawing the random decks, except the ones where you choose, which personally, I feel narrows the playing field. But no matter, complicating things is fun, right? Any suggestions, because I still vote random. as for timing, it's a league, there is no rush. Find your partner, play your matches at your own pace as long as it is within reason. The order doesn't even matter much, just one per opponent. 

I'm tryng to meet all your needs here Killa, but I asked you for an impartial deck generator. Where is he/she? If none can be found, i'll do it myself, or there will be no league. Everybody get's a vote, that's democracy, but somebody still has to run it. If you want to change things, pull your weight or leave. I'm done bending over backwards for no reason other than you want it done your way. I think i'm being more than reasonable here.
