1. yakusoku - WL On my play, he needs 3 cards to do anything. On his play, he can play scepter helix, and just race the wurm. - 3

Plains
Mox Sapphire
Meddling Mage
Lightning Helix
Isochron Scepter

2. LemonMeringue - WD On the play, he also needs 3 cards to do anything of value, so he loses as well. On the draw, he can cast thorn, and I am stuck, but then he cant cast anything else, so he is stuck as well. - 4

City of Traitors
Thorn of Amethyst
Taiga
Misguided Rage
Anurid Scavenger

3. Myy - WL On the play, he needs 3 cards to do anything of value, so his memnite cant race my wurm. On the draw, I cant race 11 1/1s. - 3

Rite of Flame
Rite of Flame
Mox Ruby
Empty the Warrens
Memnite

4. Numotflame96 - WL - On the play, after inquiry, the best he can save is crypt ravager, which makes ravager a 2/2 which cant race my 4/4 wurm. On the draw, all he has to do is play golem and beat face while I watch hopelessly. 3

Mana Crypt
Mana Crypt
Arcbound Ravager
Lodestone Golem
Phyrexian Revoker

5. SageShadows WW - My wurm and my basic land are enough to race kataki. - 6

Kataki, War's wage
Leyline of the Void
Leyline of Sanctity
The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
Serra's Sanctum

6. Magic1264 - WD I think. On the play, I play out my hand, and since random effects go against me, he gets to keep city and ratchet bomb. Bomb goes to (1), then it's my turn. I swing 4 (16). ratchet (2). (W12).(R3).(W8).(R4).(W4).(R5).(W0). On the draw, he gets bomb out a turn faster, so it kills the wurm when he is at 4.

To clarify:
D - Play out Hand.
M - play city, cast ratchet, t: put a counter on, (1).
D - Wurm swings to 16.
M - 2 counters on bomb
D - Wurm swings to 12
M - 3 counters on bomb
D - Wurm swings to 8
M - 4 counters on bomb
D - Wurm swings to 4
M - 5 counters on bomb, but cant sac because tapping is part of the cost, and he tapped on each of his turns to put the counter on, so ratchet bomb is tapped with 5 counters on it.
D - Wurm swings in for the win.

On his play (my draw), there's no reason for him to play out form of the dragon, because of my white leyline, and it would actually kill him since the 5 damage is not a you may ability, and it needs to find a target, so he becomes the target. So he plays ratchet bomb and puts a counter on it.
Same thing as before, except his bomb is a turn faster and he activates it to kill the wurm while he is at 4 life. 4

City of Traitors
Mox Sapphire
Show and Tell
Form of the Dragon
Ratchet Bomb

7. Legendary Ferret - WL On the play, inquiry stops him from doing anything. On the draw, his combo beats me in the face. 3

Tolarian Academy
Mana Crypt
Mana Vault
Hive Mind
Pact of the Titan

8. coinmagic45 /EDIT DD . He is correct, on the draw, helix does nothing to me, so he has to play epoc, which results in me playing out a wurm. eventually we just stare because if I attack, I lose wurm and then lose, but he cant race. On the play, he still keeps city and epoc, and we're in the same situation. EDIT/ 2

City of Traitors
Sol Ring
Isochron Scepter
Lightning Helix
Epochrasite

9. WCFmo - lol

Illegal decklist.

10. s14sh3r DL - On the play, inquiry lets him keep city and path, which allows us to draw. On the draw, his inquiry is just as annoying as mine, except I am left with only 1 card, and can do nothing. 1

City of Brass
Durkwood Baloth
Burning Inquiry
Lotus Petal
Path to Exile

LemonMeringue's is almost mise...

If he casts thorn... then he can on his next turn tap city to add 2, then play taiga to add green, sacing city obv, to play the scavenger. Then he puts city on bottom of his library, draws and plays city, but cant cast rage, so he swings with scavenger for 3 putting you at 17, you still cant cast crypts. On his turn he has to sac scavenger, because he has nothing in his yard, so the two of you stare.

Basically LemonMeringue tries to draw with thorn, or win with a 3/3 for 2, but I think he realized his mistake after submitting anyway.

Bottom line- you WD against LemonMeringue

Here, you're correct but your reasoning is incorrect. If you just cast golem, he can play crypt and vault on his turn, then the next turn he has 7 for hive mind. You could however, just cast revoker naming either mana crypt or mana vault. To stop it, so you still get the win on the play, just not the way you said it.

have some sick tech for next week. Gather is sweet like that.

Wait... damn ferret for probably winning this week. My tech involved mana crpyt....

edit 2: also forgot this line: * Random effects always go against the owner of the card.*

So my sick tech wouldn't have been so sick. Tolarian academy is also gonna be banned which was another part of the combo... ho hum... I guess I'll wait and hope he doesn't win, else I'll reveal my somewhat not so sick tech on monday.

Odd question:

* 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.

We now have 5 cards, and the 5th card could possibly make shahrazad playable (though I am not currently sure how). Does this make it usable?

Epoc can stop the Wurm. When it comes back, it's a 4/4. Unfortunately, you have Leyline so Helix doesn't do much against you... On the play even, if I cast Scepter + Helix, then Inquiry wins for you, so I have to play Epoc for the draw. It's DD

True... I should probably read my own cards more often.

was confused about epoc, thought it came back as a 3/3.

I'll edit the rule next round to say that "A subgame played with the card Shahrazad where neither player has any means to win the subgame will result in an incomplete game and both players will receive ZERO points for that game, since the main game cannot be resumed. Neither player loses or draws, so neither player earns any points."

If you find a way to play Shahrazad and win with it, then I will allow it, but you are not allowed to submit a deck with Shahrazad that cannot beat Island x5 and you can expect a lengthy discussion with me via PM if you do decide to play such a deck before I accept it as a legal entry.

Here's how you can use a VERY BAD deck to use Shahrazad and complete a legal subgame that can beat the deck Island x5:

Ashnod's Altar
Soldevi Digger
Memnite
Shahrazad
Fountain of Cho

You play Fountain of Cho, play Ashnod's Altar and Soldevi Digger, then play Memnite, sacrifice it to Ashnod's Altar, use the mana to return it to your library with Soldevi Digger, then you play Shahrazad.

In the subgame, you play Memnite, attack 20 times and win. This puts your opponent at 10 life in the main game. You use Soldevi Digger to return Shahrazad to your library and play Memnite, sacrifice it to Ashnod's Altar, use the mana to return it to your libary with Soldevi Digger, then play Shahrazad.

You repeat this again, putting your opponent at 5, then 2, then 1, then 0 life.

Of course, this deck folds to the awesomeness that is Plains, Plains, Squire, Squire, Squire. But, if you really have a burning desire to play with Shahrazad, I won't outright ban it. I'm just going to make you jump through lots of hoops to play it.
