FANTASTIC idea!!! This sounds like so much fun; even for people that don't or haven't tried to pvp. LOL, if I were a warlord I certainly wouldn't be announcing my badge to everyone. Talk about "asking" to be attacked by everyone. I bet there would be stitching of the commander robes to level 1 robes. This is an exciting idea to me. Thanks for suggesting it. I hope KI takes a good look at it, and other people show interest.
I imagine it would be quite unbalanced, but I doubt you intended it to be played as Ranked. If something like this was implemented, I'd start playing PvP just for this.

You are correct. It would be purely for fun and tournaments, but not ranked.
I'm spreading the word. Even on the weekends lately it seems harder and harder to find good matches in the Arena. Also, I've seen so many people say "I'm not going to PvP, the people there are so rude". Seems to me, the first person that is rude and calls others noob or scrub would immediately have a huge target put on them. I can see lots of laughter in that. Sounds fun. I'm all for it.

LOL . How would that be . . . *thinking cloud*
A , , , 1rst, , , , and 2nd are locked down on a Mayhem duel.
:Buffed up Triton! Fizzle

2nd: Ha, noob.
:Should we target that 2nd?

2nd: Wait what?!

How would global talents/spells be affected in this format, such as a unicorn heal?
Unicorn targets all your teammates. You'd be your only teammate, so it would only target you. AoE spells that hit enemies would hit everyone except you.
How would global talents/spells be affected in this format, such as a unicorn heal?
That really depends on KI, and how much effort they put into the system, if they ever decide to use this suggestion. The best scenario would be to have parameters that let you choose which option you prefer before creating a match, such as global effects, levels, etc. But, barring that, the most fun option is to have heals global, so when you or pet casts a unicorn, it heals your enemies as well.
This idea is actually really brilliant. Gonna be a huge hit if it really gets implemented. Pvp is wonderfully fun but sometimes it gets repetitive. Maybe KI can implement unique games like these once every few months to spice things up a little? Other unique games to consider would be quick matches in ranked and practice, no tc matches etc.

It would also be fun if they added a whole new set of cards that are just for Mayhem matches only.
what they should do is add new cards that heals you and a random oponent, or a spell that damages 2 random opponents, but imagine a storm lord against 8 ppl, i can see this getting very annoying at lvl 100, with everyone having around 40+ pierce there would be allot of rage quitters but there's an easy solution to this KI , LOWER THE PIERCE from gear to maybe 30 for the darkmoor gear that everyone is getting 42+ pierce from and raise the resist a bit, especially for ice, ice is so weak now, my ice doesn't even last 5 minutes in an arena with a balance cause they have 52 pierce which is completely messed up, you should really cary your gear and stop being lazy trying to make everyone equal, that's not how the game started nor how it should die off, storm has always been the stronger but it fizzled, and has been more tankish but low damage attacks, and life has been the healer with decent attacks but right below average damage and are usually called on for a fairy or satyr, fire is known for DoT attacks, nothing about the system is equal except for balance, this is a strategy game, best not to make everyone the same
I have always been an avid pvp player from the games I participate in, but have long been a critic of KI's brand, since it focuses more on gear, instead of skill. Over the years here, I have resigned myself to accept that KI will never overhaul the system, but instead use what I have coined as "Band-Aid" fixes here, and there. That being said, it is still possible to enjoy pvp, it just requires more effort in "gearing", if you wish to have winning success. From what I have read on the message boards, and circles I frequent, many people are not so enthusiastic about doing this, and thus pvp has suffered a steady decline in patronage since its inception. I would like to suggest a fun new way here to pvp, and hope that everyone likes the idea, and will also critique it accordingly even if they don't.

They would reinvigorate the fan base, and pvp would start growing again. I would be happy to answer any comments,concerns, or questions anyone has on this.
Yes Please. Will Break out the old jade and crafted celestia combo, Mwah Hah Hah Hah Hah! (Which with my luck, will result in 7v1)

I like idea and have same idea like that (but have own school banner) adding rules: no battle order
- Maximum of 10 Mayhem cards (quite rare will you need 10 copies of a single spell, especially with reshuffle, but just in case).
- Maximum Side Deck of 64 cards.
And maybe this idea:
Mayhem Gear - Requires participation in at least 1 Mayhem match.
Mayhem Hat - Cost 1 Gold - Randomly increases 5 stats by 50% and decrease the other stats by 50% (changes each time you join a new match) - 1 free stitch
Mayhem Robes - Cost 1 Gold - Randomly increases 5 stats by 50% and decrease the other stats by 50% (changes each time you join a new match) - 1 free stitch
Mayhem Boots - Cost 1 Gold - Randomly increases 5 stats by 50% and decrease the other stats by 50% (changes each time you join a new match) - 1 free stitch
Mayhem Wand - Cost 1 Gold - Gives following cards:
Basically, every Jewel there is in the game, with the same effects, only thing that they reduce Mana by 100%, and you just buy them at this same vendor for 1 Gold.
Once you buy the gear piece, you are shown a list of every outfit design for that gear piece (hat, robes, boots). You can then choose which look you would want.
After you make your choice, you have to stitch it normally.
