The decklists have been posted.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:

Anyway: 6. Jtrade77
Black Lotus Show and Tell Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Force of Will Leyline of Anticipation vs 1 -- yakosoku 0pts can't attack... vs 2,9,10,12 -- loss, double counter beats me vs 3,16 -- win, force his force, emrakul beats vs 4, 15, 19 -- win, Emrakul beats down with instant speed thanks to Leyline! vs 5 == draw, I force a force, he forces show and tell, stalemate vs 7 -- If he uses his leyline, he can't force and I draw by forcing his channel, so he must hold it. Emrakul is a legend, meaning if I Show and Tell, it gets legends ruled and nothing happens. The best I can get is a draw. On my play, I do nothing. On his play he uses channel and forces my force, giving him Emrakul and an extra turn. He hits for 15, I have no perms anyway. Then on my turn, I play Lotus and Show and Tell my own Emrakul, killing both with the legends rule, making it a draw at five life each. vs 8, I force of will his channel, win both times vs 11, LemonMeringue Force of Will Show and Tell Gilded Drake -- triggered ability can target Emrakul Form of the Dragon -- does not matter, Emrakul flies Black Lotus Staredown stalemate 2pts. Oracle Text of Show and Tell (sorcery): Each player may put an artifact, creature, enchantment, or land card from his or her hand onto the battlefield. Comp Rule 101.4. If multiple players would make choices and/or take actions at the same time, the active player (the player whose turn it is) makes any choices required, then the next player in turn order (usually the player seated to the active player's left) makes any choices required, followed by the remaining nonactive players in turn order. Then the actions happen simultaneously. This rule is often referred to as the "Active Player, Nonactive Player (APNAP) order" rule. Since he can only cast Show and Tell as a Sorcery, he must always reveal if he is choosing Drake or Form FIRST. This allows me to ignore the Drake (self-sac if no exchange) or put down Emrakul to beat Form. Thus he cannot cast it. If I use my Leyline to get around this rule by using it as instant, he can Force of Will my Show and Tell on his turn. Then he is back not being able to cast his Show and Tell. I cannot cast Show and Tell, because I will always be choosing Emrakul, allowing him to choose Gilded Drake. 13 -- win. both games lotus, S & T Emrakul via leyline, he can't spike it. It beats drifters and has protection from colored spells (Paralyze is black). 14 -- 6pts my win Black Lotus Show and Tell Blightsteel Colossus Force of Will Snapback (not relevant, colored spells cannot target Emrakul) I hold Leyline and cast show and tell on my turn. I Force his Force. His 12/12 infect is blocked by my 15/15 guy. My guy is 3/3, it attacks with Annihlate, the opponent sacs his 12/12 indestructible. I win. If he casts show and Tell, I let it resolve, then attack first and make him sac. If he Snaps his own guy, it doesn't hit the table again. 17 coinmagic45 Dryad Arbor Chalice of the Void Leyline of Anticipation Force of Will Moonlace His play will always be to Leyline, Chalice for zero. If I lay my own Leyline too, he can Force my Lotus. If I don't, I can't cast my lotus. My loss 18. alphastorm Gate to the Reikai Eater of Days Mishra's Workshop Trinisphere Smokestack I use the Leyline to S&T down Emrakul during his first upkeep, after the beginning. It is larger than the Eater, and his Smokestack never gets a counter, plus it kills all his perms on the attack. Win.

JTrade, a correction.13 -- win. both games lotus, S & T Emrakul via leyline, he can't spike it. It beats drifters and has protection from colored spells (Paralyze is black). He can put paralyze into play as part of show and tell. If an aura just comes into play, it does not target, and is not a spell anymore once it hits the table. Paralyze stops emrakul. Also, if you use leyline to cast show and tell on my turn, I could just use lotus to cast gilded drake. Doesn't matter though, we clearly have a big fat draw

LL 12 vs Myy Same as 9. LL 13 vs Ago black lotus, show and tell, Colossus vs Il dal. If he inkoz, i snap his guy and kill him, if he paralyzes i fow it. On the draw, he plays Island, inkoz. If i force it, i lose to paralyze, so i let it resolve. he takes Show, then i fow his drifter. Win/draw. 15 vs Zak If he ever tries to pump his guy, i just bounce it. WW 16 vs Liq Only 1 fow.

Hey thror, you made the same mistake as I pointed out above, against ago if you show and tell a creature, he puts paralyze into play and taps it down forever, so you can't play show and tell.

5 wins, at 6 points each, is only 30 points. Check again?

1. yakusoku XX Mishra's Workshop Trinisphere Ensnaring Bridge Scalding Tongs Scalding Tongs 2. Magic1264 WW I play Trinisphere which he must counter or else all his non-land spells can't be played. After that, I can resolve any two of the other three spells and win either by racing with two Tongs or by stopping the Arbor with Ensnaring Bridge. 3. mattw WW He was to Force Trinisphere, then I can resolve Ensnaring Bridge and Scalding Tongs to win. 4. SageShadows WW. On the play, I have first turn Trinisphere, second turn Scalding Tongs, third turn Scalding Tongs, fourth turn Bridge and he can't give me 10 poison counters before then. On the play: SS: Pendelhaven, Manabond, put three other lands onto the battlefield yak: Shop, Tongs SS: attack for 3 yak: Tongs SS: attack for 3 yak: Bridge SS: attack for 3 yak: Trinisphere I survive at 9 poison counters! 5. Alexisonfyre WW If he plays a creature, I lead off with Trinisphere, which he must counter, then I play Bridge and two Tongs and win. If he doesn't play a creature, I lead off with Trinisphere, which he counters, Tongs which he counters, then second Tongs, at which point, he's left with just Lotus, so I win. 6. Jtrade77 WW. If he plays Show and Tell, I put Bridge into play, then I can lead with Trinisphere and play two Tongs. If he doesn't play Show and Tell, I still lead with Trinisphere, which he has to Force, then I play two Tongs to win. 7. WCFmo LL. On the play, he holds back Force for either Trinisphere or Bridge, then on his turn, he plays Black Lotus, Channel, and casts Emrakul, which lets him win. 8. TimeBeing LL. I don't have Force of Will,so I lose to this deck. He kills me before I can play anything both games. 9. Carbon WW. This plays out like #2. Trinisphere eats a counter and he allows either two Tongs or a Tongs and a Bridge to resolve and loses. 10. s14sh3r WW. This is slightly different, but still plays out the same. I lead off with Trinisphere, which he has to Force. If he Commandeers, I can still play everything in my hand just fine. From there, two Tongs or a Tong and a Bridge is enough to win. 11. LemonMeringue LL. I can't stop Form, which deals non-combat damage to me to kill me. 12. Myy WW. Trinisphere gets countered, then I win with two Tongs or a Tongs and a Bridge. 13. AGO WD. On the play, I play first turn Trinisphere and he can't do anything but play a land. On the draw, we both stare and do nothing. If he plays Inquisition first (taking Trinisphere), I resolve Bridge and one of two Tongs to win. If he plays Drifter first, I resolve Trinisphere, then Bridge, then both Tongs to win. If he plays nothing, I also play nothing, waiting for him. If I play Trinisphere or Bridge, he can Force Spike it, Inquisition the other and race Drifter and survive at 1, so neither of us do anything. 14. thror WW. If he plays Show and Tell, I have Bridge, then I can lead off with Trinisphere, which he Forces, then resolve Tongs. If he doesn't play Show and Tell, I still lead off with Trinisphere, which he forces, then resovle Bridge and Tongs. 15. Zakman86 WW. I play Trinisphere, which stops Invigorate, then I play two Tongs, getting poisoned, but not lethal before I play Bridge with 0 cards in hand to stop the attacks. 16. Liq LL. Strip Mine + Force of Will is bad news for me. Whatever I play first, he Forces, then plays Strip Mine on my land. Dryad Arbor comes out and wins after that. 17. coinmagic45 WW. Chalice does nothing, Moon lace does nothing, Leyline does nothing. Force of Will stops Trinisphere, then I play out the rest of my hand and win. 18. alphastorm LL. Trinispheres on both sides do nothing but act as fodder for Smokestack, which eventually kills me. Eater of Days means it really doesn't matter if I'm going first or second, except that I get a few more points in before Smokestack makes me lose. He'll keep Smokestack back until I play Bridge to stop his Eater of Days. He can let Smokestack sit 1 counter and win: alphastorm: Workshop, Trinisphere yak: Workshop, Trinisphere alphastorm: Gate, Eater of Days yak: Bridge alphastorm: Smokestack yak: Tongs alphastorm: 1 counter yak: lose Trinisphere, Tongs alphastorm: lose Trinisphere yak: lose Shop alphastorm: lose Shop yak: lose Tongs alphastorm: lose Eater yak: lose Bridge alphastorm: lose Gate yak: lose Tongs alphastorm: lose Stack, attack for 1; he wins. 19. ScottyStyles WW. On the play, I play Trinisphere and he can't play ANYTHING. On the draw, I play Bridge and he can't attack. Fortunately, Iona is just a big flyer - I'm not playing white, blue, black, red, or green spells.

That's not a legal play. Both enter the battlefield simultaneously, but you need to choose a creature for an Aura as it comes into play, at which time the creature chosen for Show and Tell is NOT something the Aura can enchant. As for my deck, I figured there would be a bajillion Force of Will and Black Lotus decks out there, so I wanted something that was better than a coin flip or a DD against such decks. I figured this was the best deck to do that with. I almost played the same thing, but with a Chalice of the Void instead of a second Scalding Tongs, but figured I wanted to be sure to be able to beat double Force of Will decks, by having Trinisphere, Tongs, and second Tongs to force at least one spell through. coinmagic45 brought it up, but no one has mentioned it since - is there any other support for only banning cards in the winning decks or should we stick with banning cards that are present in over 1/3rd of all decks, regardless of whether it wins or not. It's possible this round that a deck with neither Black Lotus nor Force of Will will win, yet both of those cards are played in such quantities that they would be banned on the 1/3rd rule. I am not in favor of changing the current rule, but I will certainly listen to what the majority say and give great weight to the general consensus. In the past, I've changed how things work with Mishra's Workshop because of what most people thought. So, let me know if you would like to see things happen one way or the other.

Mine is easy. If you have FoW I lose if you don't I win. (from what I can tell) </font><HR></BLOCKQUOTE> 5 wins, at 6 points each, is only 30 points. Check again? Missed a win vs 19 so it right at 36. And i fixed it. Thanks for the catch. What i get for doing it on my ipad

Hmm, my apologies for being a giant tool and correcting people with false information. Even though it's in my deck, for some reason I thought Show and Tell worked like eurekaI am down with the current ban suggestions, FoW and black lotus can go as far as I'm concerned. Edit: Am I correct in remembering that the rules for banning don't allow workshop to ever be banned? Since it said something like except for lands that only produce mana.

+1 . You only get 1 chance to break something. next round we should see a new variety of decks.

On the ban issue, just ban the winning deck this week. It's fun to metagame with Will and Lotus, and I'm sure they won't last long. You can even leave workshop in.

I'm fine with that. I don't like FoW, but I think having Black Lotus legal could lead to some really interesting decks! That's okay, though - I'll come up with some other way to abuse Moonlace :-) yaku, nice meta call! I tried the same with Leyline + Chalice. I figured most decks would Lotus into something huge. I didn't expect so many FoW + Memnite/Arbor decks that I DD against. I was hoping to beat all big Lotus decks and lose to Workshop, but then the big Lotus decks would WL against the Workshop decks, and I'd still come out on top! Oh well, at least I played Moonlace ;-) __________________ 3rd most references in Kentucky; 3rd most posts in KentuckyBlackborder.com Grading Guide
