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!

Sorry Yaku. You wouldn't BELIEVE the week (last and this) I've had. I think I may sit out a couple of rounds, because I'm REALLY not good on this scoring stuff. I can't seem to get it..


Thanks,
Jazaray

All I can say is that if I picked the metagame right, I win. If not, I will surely lose badly.

you should just have my mindset and plan on losing badly every week. Then anything above ten points is a pleasant surprise

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 TOTAL
?? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 00 00 00 0

1.) WL. On the play, I smack for 4 turn 1, and just sit there until his Spitter kills himself. On the draw, discard owns me.

2.) WW. 4/4 Mass trades with Vengevine, and the rest goes all the way.

3.) WW. On my play, I am 2 turn faster before he can play Ajani. On the draw, I am still 1 turn faster.

4.) LL. Cant stop an 8/8.

5.) LL. Sower owns me.

7.) WW. I get to attack first both on the play and draw, which forces him to be on the defensive mode eventually, and Vengevine takes it home.

8.) WW. He dies before he can set up the cannon.

9.) WW. He dies before he can get Wurmcoil out, and port doesn't do anything to me.

10.) WW. I get to attack first both on the play and draw. Eventually, he will have to block my imp and memnite with his memnites, which brings him down to less than 3 artifact, and he can no longer tap my vengevine.

11.) WL. On the play, Tiger trades with Vengevine, and my two 1/1 > his one 1/1. On the draw, discard owns me.

12.) DL. On the play, he stabilize at 1 life with a toolbox that regens every turn, forcing a draw. On the draw, his chalice shuts me down.

13.) WW. I win before he can get out Chandra.

1. Magic1264 WW. On the play, I Spreading Seas any land he plays. On the draw, I race his Plague Spitter.

2. yakusoku XX

Saprazzan Skerry
City of Traitors
Spreading Seas
Chimeric Mass

3. DerFisch WW. I play Spreading Seas on Fungal Reaches and he can't play any non-land cards.

4. mattw WW. Spreading Seas on one Sandstone Needle means he can't play his creature. Flame Slash can't target the Mass.

5. MAB_Rapper WW. On the play, I play Spreading Seas on the land he plays first and he can't play Mindbreak Trap. My 4/4 races his 2/2. On the draw, he either plays Sower first or keeps both lands ready to Mindbreak Trap the Spreading Seas. My 4/4 races his 2/2 again.

6. junichi LL. Spreading Seas does nothing useful here and Vengevine + Putrid Imp is too much for me to handle.

7. wayne LL. Qasali Pridemage takes out the Mass and I lose to Hierarchs.

8. Battle_of_Twits DD. Dwarven Hold becomes an Island and he plays Meltdown for the draw.

9. coinmagic45 WL. On the play, he can't stop the Mass and I kill him just before he can Vial in his guy. On the draw, he plays Vial turn 1 and Ports me the rest of the game.

10. WCFmo WW. Spreading Seas turns all his creatures into 1/1's that can't race the Mass.

11. Alexisonfyre DD. I keep City + Mass and our creatures stare/trade.

12. Myy WL On the play, I Spreading Seas his City of Traitors and his 1/1 Toolbox can't stop my Mass. On the draw, he can play both Toolbox and Energy Chamber and sit back until his guy is big enough to block, then sit back more until it's big enough to kill me in one swing, forcing me to block and die the next turn.

13. Liq WW. Spreading Seas on Bazaar stops him from playing anything useful.

EDIT1: thanks for doing the math on my match with Myy. I forgot about him having to put that first counter on the chalice so i can't flame slash the toolbox making the heavyweights fast enough.

Oh yeah, I totally blew it picking the meta.

1. Magic1264 DL 1 - On the play, I can "counter" Spitter.

Swamp
Ostracize
City of Traitors
Plague Spitter

2. yakusoku LL 0 - What he said...

Saprazzan Skerry
City of Traitors
Spreading Seas
Chimeric Mass

3. DerFisch LL 0 - I can stop one, not both.

Fungal Reaches
Plains
Ajani Vengeant
Sarkhan Vol

4. mattw DL 1 - On the play, I hold back my counter. On the draw, I have no shot.

Sandstone Needle
Sandstone Needle
Flame Slash
Boldwyr Heavyweights

5. MAB_Rapper XX X

City of Traitors
Saprazzan Skerry
Mindbreak Trap
Sower of Temptation

6. junichi WW 6 - Sower steals Vengevine for the win.

Putrid Imp
Vengevine
Memnite
Urborg

7. wayne WW 6 - Sower steals a Hierarch and I can race.

Forest
Noble Hierarch
Noble Hierarch
Qasali Pridemage

8. Battle_of_Twits WW 6 - I can counter Cannon and ride Sower.

Dwarven Hold
Keldon Megaliths
Meltdown
Lux Cannon

9. coinmagic45 LL 0

Calciform Pools
Rishadan Port
Aether Vial
Wurmcoil Engine

10. WCFmo WL 3 - Now this is what I expected to face (kind of). He can't play them all on the same turn or I trap him. That 1 turn delay allows me to play Sower on the play and steal a guy, preventing him from tapping me down. On the draw, he plays 1 Nite and the Certarch, leaving me powerless.

Seat of the Synod
Vedalken Certarch
Memnite
Memnite

11. Alexisonfyre LL 0 - I have no answer.

Bayou
Memnite
Tendrils of Despair
Scythe Tiger

12. Myy LL 0 - Kinda hard to play around it.

Chalice of the Void
Jhoira's Toolbox
City of Traitors
Energy Chamber

13. Liq DD 2 - I'll save my counter for Chandra, but Sower dies easy.

Mercadian Bazaar
Burst Lightning
Magma Spray
Chandra Nalaar

1. Magic1264 WL - This one should be LL. On his play, he discard your toolbox. On his draw, you chalice for 1 to stop his discard, but your toolbox still dies to the Spitter during Magic1264's upkeep, because you won't have the mana to regen.

4. mattw WW - This one should be LL. His 8/8 trample is too fast.

7. wayne WW - This one is WD. On your draw, he plays turn 1 Hierarch, you play turn 1 Toolbox. He plays turn 2 pridemage, and you can't play any spell, else you wont have mana to regen your toolbox when he pops his pridemage.

4. mattw WW - This one should be LL. His 8/8 trample is too fast.

I actually did this, and I'm only stabilize on the play I guess. on my draw he gets in for enough to win.


7. wayne WW - This one is WD. On your draw, he plays turn 1 Hierarch, you play turn 1 Toolbox. He plays turn 2 pridemage, and you can't play any spell, else you wont have mana to regen your toolbox when he pops his pridemage.
