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!

Goblin Guide IS banned. 3 months of playing went by and nobody (particularly me) noticed that it's never been officially added to the banned list; it's only in the banned decks under the heading that more than 1/3 of all players in round 25 played it.

Yeah, last round was particularly close. One point separated 1st and 2nd, 4 points separated 2nd and 3rd and 2 points separated 3rd from two people tied for 4th.

Well I did notice a few weeks ago when I tried to run it and you told me it was banned :-P But I guess we both just left it at that without checking the list!

Yeah, I've got some other decks in mind, but right now if you don't win on turn 1, you're in trouble... Until those are gone (which will hopefully be soon since I'm running out of turn 1 decks), we'll see what happens :-)

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 12 13 14 15 TOTAL
?? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 00 00 00 00 00 0

Hard to score this week. Shamelessly copied from yakusoku:

code:

## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 TOTAL
05 2 2 2 0 X 6 2 6 0 06 06 02 03 06 06 49

1. Magic1264 DD. This looks familiar. Knights stare at each other.

2. yakusoku - see above. DD

3. Alexisonfyre DD. Knights stare at each other while he gets rid of Port and Contaminated Ground.

4. Battle_of_Twits LL. He can outrace me with the Slime.

5. coinmagic45 - X

6. Bannanaise84 WW. He needs all 4 cards to win.

7. Jazaray DD. She keeps Peat Bog and Edict to draw.

8. mattw WW. He needs at least 3 cards to win.

9. wayne LL. He keeps Peat Bog and Anurid and races.

10. Sarai WW. She needs all 4 cards to win.

11. Liq WW. If he plays Wheel, Mind Swords removes Raise. If he plays Raise before Wheel, he can't combo and Knight wins.

12. junichi DD. he can keep the Store + Nodes to draw.

13. WCFmo WL. On the play, he can't do anything. On the draw, I can't do anything.

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

15. MAB_Rapper WW. He can't do anything with two cards.

Actually I think we WW against Liq:

On the draw, he plays turn 1 Remote Farm (no turn 0 Leyline or Swords would be for the win). We suspend and play Walker, but don't play Swords. If he plays Wheel to set up his combo, we then play Swords for the win. Otherwise, if he plays Raise the Alarm, he can't go infinite, so a 0/3 blocker each turn is enough to win the race.

Someone check that I'm right on this - enough people playing the same deck that should care :-P

@MAB - Your total should be 42, if I'm not mistaken.

I won't post my results yet, but by my preliminary calculations I score 52 points, which is enough for the temporary lead.

Also, I'm not sure I get Bannanaise84 deck. How does he play Tetravus? Am I missing a special tech?

Thanks.

He doesn't play Tetravus; there's no special tech there. It's still a legal deck, so I didn't reject it.

That seems like sound reasoning to me.
