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:

03 0 0 x 6 3 3 6 0 1 19

I just scored Magic1264 DD for now. Not sure if his deck is gonna DQ'd for not having a win condition.

VS numotflame96. I win on my play. On his play,
he plays land.
i play land
he plays land and foundry
i play land and trader
he plays nothing. He has to leave a mana open to sac his seat of the synod to make a token
i tap my black land to remove a counter from it and use it for nothing
he hits me for one in the air
I play the immortal coil with both lands going to the graveyard. and give him the immortal coil.
He can't hit me for one cause then i could attack with the trader for the win. Its a draw. I think.

VS Liq. I win on my play. On his play,
He plays land
I play land
He gets one counter on land
I play trader and other land
he has to untap his land with just the one counter on it so I can't cast the immortal coil and then i can just attack 20 times for the win.

My scoring may very well be wrong but what can ya do?

Edit1: I forgot numotflame can just sac my coil. well then.

Edit2: Ha, Didn't shut me out junichi! Even the smallest of victories is still a victory in my books.

Sorry everyone.

Because of Thanksgiving, I'm working on a different computer and I copied all the lists into one file with this week's decks and my future decks and suddenly Magic1264 has no win condition.

I'll rescore everything if people don't make changes. His deck should read:

Swamp
Subterranean Hangar
Innocent Blood
Chimeric Mass

City of Traitors is in one of the other decks in my VCB file of decklists.

As for my score:

code:


## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TOTAL
02 6 X 6 6 6 6 2 1 3 36


1. Magic1264 WW. Innocent Blood makes me lose Oona's Prowler, but I get plenty of other creatures and can block Mass forever, no matter how big me makes it.

2. yakusoku XX.

3. mattw WW.

Oona's Prowler means I'll have Dragon Broodmother in my graveyard, Exhume, or Peat Bog at any time I have Immortal Coil. Prowler can block Trader if he attacks me.

4. MAB_Rapper WW. By the time he can play Gaze of Justice, I have at least a 3/3 and another 1/1 and Oona's Prowler, which are enough to attack every turn into his creatures and win no matter how he blocks.

5. Numot96 WW

On the draw:

N: land
y: land
N: land, Foundry
y: Prowler, discard, dragon)
N: Sword
y: Exhume Dragon, attack for 3 (20-17)
N: (yak gets a 1/1, which devours Oona's Prowler and becomes a 3/3), make two thopters
y: get a 1/1, attack with Dragon, 3/3 (20-10). If he chump blocks, next turn I have the same situation, with an extra 3/3, and he loses if he keeps doing that.
N: (yak gets a 1/1, which devours the 1/1 to become a 3/3), make two thopters. If Numot attacks with his other two 1/1's, he loses one to my 3/3, I take 1, then he's in the same situation as last turn, but me with an extra attacker.

I don't see how he stops a stream of 3/3's every turn when he only gets two 1/1's every turn.


6. Absurd90 WW. Vandal is just a Gray Ogre and his other creatures can't kill Dragon Broodmother. Tokens overwhelm him.

7. Liq DD. Mana Tithe is too slow to stop me, but Ghostly Prison shuts me down. Meanwhile, Dragon stops him from attacking.

8. coinmagic45 DL. On the play, he has to Crack right away or else Crack makes me lose Oona's Prowler and Dragon kills him. On the draw, he can suspend Knight, then Crack whenever I play Peat Bog.

9. junichi WL. On the play, Oona's Prowler can chump block and then Dragon gives me infinite blockers. On the draw, he kills me while I only have a land.

i forgot about the devour. so its 1 3/3 instead of 2 1/1. but any way its the same out come i put before, i get two 1/1s and have 1 2/3. i block a 3/3 with an 2/3 and 1/1, and block the big dragon with a 1/1. i lose no life afte the initial 7, and gaining 2 life per turn, and not taking any, eventually i still get enough life to start letting the big dragon in and make enoguh tokens to win.

code:

## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TOTAL
08 6 4 6 0 4 6 6 X 6 38

1. Magic1264 - On the play, I play turn 1 suspend Knight. He plays Swamp (or else loses to Crack). I play turn 2 Sentry. He plays Hangar and Innocent. I go to S1 and play Crack. He gets 1 counter. Knight comes into play and starts attacking him. He can't build a big enough Mass and still have mana to activate it without the Swamp, so I outrace him. WW

2. yakusoku - On the play, I get a creature and Crack wins. On the draw, I play turn 1 Crack so he can't play anything. WD

3. mattw - Knight outraces Trader and Crack makes sure he never gets 2 lands for Coil. WW

4. MAB_Rapper - Gaze kills Knight and he outraces. LL

5. Numotflame96 - I thought this deck had already won some time!? On the play, I get creature and Crack before he can play anything. On the draw, I play turn 1 Crack to prevent him from playing anything. WD

6. Absurd90 - Crack wins. WW

7. Liq - Crack wins. WW

9. junichi - Sentry stops Asp. Knight wins. WW

3. mattw

Peat Bog
Sandstone Needle
Bazaar Trader
Immortal Coil

7. Liq

Icatian Store
Mana Tithe
Windborne Muse
Ghostly Prison

Liq: plays land
Me: Play land
Liq: 1 counter
Me: Trader and other land
Liq: either untaps so he can Tithe the Coil and takes beats from Trader or leaves it tapped to save up for something else
Me: Either just attack with trader or put the coil into play and give it to him for the win.

Thats my understanding of you going first.
