4-Card Blind (4CB) is a very unique game.
The rules are as follows:

* Your deck is composed of 4 cards, all of which start in your hand.
* You have no library (technically, the library exists, but starts at 0 cards) and no sideboard (Wishes fetch nothing).
* Random effects always go against the owner of the card.
* You can see your opponent's hand, so you can always make the best possible play.
* You don't lose as a result of not being able to draw a card.
* You will play each opponent twice, once going first, once going second.
* For each win, you score 3.
* For each draw, you score 1.
* For each loss, you get nothing.
* A subgame played with the card Shahrazad will result in an incomplete game and both players will receive ZERO points, since the main game cannot be resumed. Neither player loses or draws, so neither player earns any points.
* Other than the aforementioned, EVERYTHING IS HANDLED EXACTLY LIKE A REAL GAME OF MAGIC!
Remember, it is important for your deck to include a way to cast your cards! (Lands, artifact mana, pitch cards, etc.)
If you want to play PM me a message in this format.
Subject should include "Vanishing 4-Card Blind" (Just click on the little PM icon above my post and it should work out that way.)
Card #1
Card #2
Card #3
Card #4
Be sure you really are happy with your deck before you submit. Once you send in a deck, there is no changing it except in the case of an illegal entry.
Please make every effort to spell your card names correctly. It makes it easier for everyone. Thanks.
The "Vanishing" part is the twist. To start off with, only Unglued, Unhinged and Ante cards are banned. After each round, the 4 cards in the winning deck plus any cards in more than 1/3 of the decks played will be banned for all future rounds. Any lands that only provide mana are exempted from the banning rules.

--------------End of Banning list--------------

I will try and post a new round every Monday, allow submissions through Wednesday, reveal deck lists first thing on Thursday and review results posted over the weekend.

NO MISE DECKS!

Any deck submitted MUST have some win condition. Any deck that can do no better than a draw against any possible deck will be rejected. A deck that can't win any game is mathematically eliminated from winning the round, and thus would just be taking a chance to win away from someone who could actually have a shot.

ALL players will assist in judging. The way this will work is that after the submission period is over, After all decks are revealed, judge your own deck against every other deck (going first and going second). Post your findings here in this thread. They will be reviewed by everyone for accuracy. Once a winner is determined the winners deck will be added to the banned list and the next round will begin. Repeated failure to do your own scoring will result in suspensions!

Heh, don't expect much, I've never done this before and I probably submitted a stupid deck. But, I wanted to try!


Thanks,

P.S. Read my blog!

The decklists have been posted.

You may use other formats as well, but this one is a must. Also PLEASE make sure you use the proper deck number for your deck. Replace the '?' on the bottom line with the number next to your name on the decklist.

Scoring:

Play your deck against each other deck twice, once with you going first, once with them going first. Always remember that each deck is to be played perfectly.

For each of the 2 games, score 3 points if your deck wins or 1 point if the game is a draw, with no points for a loss.

Some examples:
2 wins (WW) is 6 points.
A win and a draw (WD) is 4 points.
A win and a loss (WL) is 3 points.
2 draws (DD) is 2 points.
A draw and a loss (DL) is 1 point.
2 losses (LL) is 0 points.

Plug YOUR deck number into the ? below the ##, and your score against each deck into the other slots.

Do not play your deck against itself. Just enter an 'x' in the chart under your deck number.

Please copy-and-paste the following code into your Message box in order to assist you with scoring:


code:

## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 TOTAL

1. Battle_of_Twits WW. He needs all his cards to win. Mind Swords ruins that plan.

2. yakusoku

Bayou
Phyrexian Walker
Mind Swords
Skyshroud Cutter

3. MAB_Rapper LL. See below.

4. Alexisonfyre DD. He keeps Remote Farm, Island Sanctuary and we draw.

5. Jazaray WW. She can keep Hickory Woodlot and Devoted Druid, but that's not even close to being able to do anything.

6. junichi WL. Brainstorm ruins my plan on the draw.

7. Magic1264 WW. He needs two lands and a spell to even try to draw.

8. coinmagic45 DD. We both have X/2 creatures who stare. Or he can keep Phyrexian Walker + ? to forever block my creature.

9. Liq DD. He keeps Sandstone Needle and Slith Firewalker and I can't race, so I hold back to block.

10. Malroth WW. He can keep two cards, none of which can do anything useful.

11. WCFmo DD. I forgot he has the option to keep Phyrexian Walker over Nimble Mongoose.

12. Myy WW. He needs all 4 cards to win.

10. Malroth WW. He can keep two cards, none of which can do anything useful.

11. WCFmo WW. Bayou + Skyshroud Cutter > Bayou + Nimble Mongoose. He's ahead for awhile, but eventually 2 damage outraces the 1 damage + 5 life he gains.

12. Myy WW. He needs all 4 cards to win.


It's WL against me.
On my play, I play island first, and if you use mind sword, I will empty my hand by using brainstorm to put cards on top of my deck, then go off the next turn.

Your match against WCFmo is DD. All he needs to do is play Phyrexian Walker and he can block all day long against your 2/2.

edit: I think I am taking this one down.

Yaku, here is my reasoning.

On the play:
Me: Land Tapped
You: Play everything, force me lose Swamp and Blood. (25-20)
Next 4 turns: I get 4 counters and you hit for 8.
It's now 20-17 in your favor and I play a 4/4. I easily race you.
On the draw, it's the same, except I'm at 15 when I play Slime. Innoncent Blood is the right play if I didn't gain the 5 life.
