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!

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:

04 3 3 6 x 6 0 3 1 6 03 03 34

1. mattw - On the draw, he plays turn 1 Lackey. I play Vial. He hits me for 1 and puts Crafter into play. I go to 1 counter, he attacks me to 16. I go to 2 counters, he attacks me to 13. I go to 3 counters, he attacks me to 10. I go to 4 counters, he attacks me to 7. I go to 5 counters, he attacks me to 4. I go to 6 counters. He pings me to 1, I tap him out and put Grave Titan into play. I hit him for 10 but then die next turn. On the play, I am 1 turn faster and am able to kill him before Crafter kills me. WL

2. yakusoku - On the draw, Voidstone stops Vial. On the play, I outrace with Titan. WL

3. Jazaray - Rishadan Port stops her Silos. She can Boomerang in her upkeep, but that doesn't help. WW

5. DerFisch - Rishadan Port stops the 2nd Brother from coming in. Then, Grave Titan comes out and outraces his 2/1. WW

6. wayne - Pridemage isn't too friendly to Vial. LL

7. Myy - On the draw, Chalice stops Vial. On the play, I play turn 1 Vial. He plays Slith. I keep him tapped down for the rest of the game so it's a straight race. I get 1 counter, he attacks me to 19 (2/2), then 2-17 (3/3), 3-14 (4/4), 4-10 (5/5), 5-5 (6/6), then 6 counters, Grave Titan comes into play, and wins. WL

8. Alexisonfyre - On the draw, he plays turn 1 Island. I play Vial. He plays Scavenger and then bounces my Vial forever. On the play, I play Vial. He plays Island. I tap him down (1 counter). He bounces Vial. Then, if I tap a land to play Vial, he plays Scavenger and wins, so I just keep tapping him down for the draw. LD

9. MAB_Rapper - Port stops Trees, and Grave Titan > Innocent Blood. WW

10. junichi - On the draw, he plays turn 2 Elspeth, then I keep him tapped out of every playing Preacher, and we race: turn 2 he makes a creature and I get 1 counter. He attacks me in the air 5 times and I can't stop that. On the play, Port stops him from playing anything. WL

11. WCFmo - Same as game against Myy. WL

This is extremely presumptious but i think this is correct

coinmagic - when he does cast the titan i just flame slash and tim it then tim the tokens and be on my way

Derfisch - Flame slash one and tim the other

Wayne - Same as Derfisch

Myy - i think every combination of what he plays first turn will result in a loss on my play and on his play a first turn chalice with one counter on it should do the trick.

Alexisonfyre - He can keep the scavenger in play i suppose with the regress and his lands but i could just kill it whenever

MAB_Rapper - There is just no give up in this deck

Junichi - Flame slash the preacher before he can use it and kill elspeth then the player

WCFMo - See Myy

Edit1. Sorry Coinmagic, sorry to you and your stupid port. lol

7. Myy WL. On the play, I name Arcbound Slither. On the draw, he plays Chalice for 1.

8. Alexisonfyre WW. I name Regress. He can't pay the upkeep on his creature.

9. MAB_Rapper WL. I name Innocent Blood both games. On the play, I am one turn too fast. On the draw, I am one turn too slow.

10. junichi WW. I name Preacher, smack down Elspeth twice after she makes two soldiers, then race the soldiers.

11. WCFmo WL. On the play, I name Jhoira's Toolbox. On the draw, I lose to Chalice.

You figured it correctly but then scored it WW for you (and said it was WW above when your comment suggested WL).

in your explanation, when I attack for 2, and then your toolbox gets a counter and becomes a 2/2 as well. next turn I'll get a counter and be a 3/3, so the correct move would be to attack, my guy will be getting bigger first, or am I missing something.

Your guy will become a 2/2 first but on my play my guy is bigger and can regenerate when he becomes a 20/20 monster (which is also what your guy will be as I will blocking him preventing you from putting 2 counters on a turn) your guy is also a 20/20 monster...you have to block or I win, but since can't regen...I win

I went 4-0 and drew the final round for 23 packs. Not bad for a $20 buy in, with only 19 people.
