* 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!

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:

2. yakusoku - He can't stop Confinement lock. WW

3. mattw - On the draw, he plays turn 1 Lackey. I play Megaliths. He hits for 1 (19). I play Garrison. He hits for 7 (12). I play Megaliths. He hits for 7. I get Confinement lock for the win. WW

4. Numotflame96 - On the draw, he plays Welder. I play Megaliths. He gets Battlesphere into play. I play Garrison. He attacks for 8 and 4 more (8). I play Megaliths. He kills me. On the play, I'm 1 turn fast enough. WL

5. junichi - He can't stop Confinement. WW

7. Battle_of_Twits - On the draw, he plays land. I play land. He plays Wheel and I lose. On the play, I'm still 1 turn too slow. LL

8. MAB_Rapper - Vindicate wins. LL

you: attack for 8 take 3, M=4 Y=6

so, from what I saw, if you attack me for lethal, I can block with one, and do enough damage to you that you can't pump the kitty enough to attack without killing yourself. I tried many many combinations of this, and couldn't find one. But if I'm mistaken for some reason, LMK.

I was doing it in my head -
On my play
ME - 0/1
YOU - 2 4/4
ME - Attack 10 take 4 (M 16, Y 10)
YOU - Swing 4 (Me 12, Y 10)
ME - Attack 8 take 3 (Me 9, You block or don't)
DO BLOCK M 9, Y 10, DON'T BLOCK M 9, Y 2
Do BLock Tree
Swing 4 - ME 5, You 10 I take 4 damage and kill you.

Don't Block Tree
Your turn OPTION
Swing both me = win at 1
Swing one M ME - 5, then M

Meh...I think you may be right...my head is hurting and I gotta get back to work. I'll mark it as LL...in my head it worked though.
