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!

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:

1. yakusoku - I can't stop Emrakul. LL

2. Numotflame96 - On the draw, he plays turn 1 stuff and attacks me to 12. I play my Mine + Ring + Isochron. He attacks me to 2. I play Maze and shoot 1 Vengevine, going to 5. Maze stops the other Vengevine and I drop to 3. I Helix the other Vengevine and take over. WW

3. LemonMeringue - Helix takes care of Nexus's. WW

4. LegendaryFerret - On the draw, he plays turn 1 double Wurm. I play Mine + Ring + Helix. He attacks me to 12. I play Maze and Helix him (17-15). Maze handles 1 Wurm and we race. His life/my life=
17-11
14-14
14-10
11-13
11-9
8-12
8-8
5-11
5-7
2-10
He's dead
WW

5. Magic1264 - On the draw, if he plays turn 1 Roar using his Nexus/Mine, then he empties his hand. I can strip his land and use my Maze to handle his Roar, and I win. So, he must wait to empty his hand. He plays Nexus. I play Mine+Ring+Isochron. If he puts Strip Mine on the table, then I strip it and drop my Maze to win. If he doesn't, then he loses it if he ever uses LED. WW

7. WCFmo - On the draw, he plays turn 1 Nexus. I play Mine+Ring+Scepter. He plays Forest and attacks me to 1 poison. My Maze can handle 1 Nexus and I can Helix the other. WW

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter, as yakusoku is bringing home another one with a nice undefeated deck...

Odd that there is NO discard or countermagic this week :-P

Not quite undefeated - NumotFlame96 gets one game when he goes first.

Channel
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
Pithing Needle

2. Numotflame96 WL. On the play, I cast Emrakul and Pithing Needle naming Bazaar of Baghdad. He can play Memnite, but has to sacrifice it. On the draw, he attacks for 8, bringing me to 12 and I can't cast Emrakul.

3. LemonMeringue WW. I cast Emrakul and Pithing Needle naming Maze and use Mox Emerald to pay for Tabernacle.

4. LegendaryFerret WW. I cast Emrakul and he can't stop me.

5. Magic1264 WW. I cast Emrakul and Pithing Needle naming Maze of Ith. Emrakul makes him sacrifice anything he plays.

6. coinmagic45 WW. I can Pithing Needle, naming Isochron Scepter or Maze, but either way, Emrakul makes him lose everything.
