Author	Topic: Vanishing 5-Card Blind Tournament, Round 10
yakusoku Member	posted May 09, 2011 11:21 AM 5-Card Blind (5CB) is a very unique game. The rules are as follows: * Your deck is composed of 5 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 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. * 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 5-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 Card #5 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 5 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. 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! --------------Current banned list-------------- All Unglued cards All Unhinged cards All Ante cards All cards not appearing in Gatherer (World Champion, Shichifukujin Dragon, cards from a new set not yet released, etc.) Multicolored: Progenitus Colorless non-artifacts: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Lands: Dark Depths Ghost Quarter Inkmoth Nexus Karakas Maze of Ith Mishra's Factory Mishra's Workshop Mutavault Strip Mine Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale Tolarian Academy Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Wasteland Artifacts: Black Lotus Ensnaring Bridge Mana Crypt Mana Vault Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Sapphire Pithing Needle The Rack Scalding Tongs Trinisphere Black: Cabal Therapy Nether Spirit Thoughtseize Vampire Hexmage Blue: Chain of Vapor Foil Force of Will Hive Mind Leyline of Anticipation Leyline of Singularity Show and Tell Green: Channel Red: Burning Inquiry Pact of the Titan Simian Spirit Guide White: Balance Banned Decks (History) Round 1, eschewing Black Lotus and Force of Will - yakusoku: Mishra's Workshop Ensnaring Bridge Trinisphere Scalding Tongs Scalding Tongs Round 1, played by over 1/3 of players: Black Lotus Force of Will Round 2, from s14sh3r: Mox Pearl City of Traitors Balance The Rack The Rack Round 2, played by over 1/3 of all players: Leyline of Anticipation Round 3, uncounterable - yakusoku: Leyline of Singularity Karakas Karakas Mishra's Factory Mishra's Factory Round 3, played by over 1/3rd of all players: Foil Round 4, almost perfect - yakusoku: Mox Emerald Mox Emerald Channel Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Pithing Needle Round 4, played by over 1/3rd of the field (3/7): Strip Mine Inkmoth Nexus Maze of Ith Round 5, he's in your mind, making you cast spells - LegendaryFerret: Tolarian Academy Mana Crypt Mana Vault Hive Mind Pact of the Titan Round 6, winning with A Rib of Cysts, A Parch of Vino, A Bleach Party, and some other stuff that's all mixed up - coinmagic45: City of Brass Chain of Vapor Cabal Therapy Burning Inquiry Nether Spirit Round 6, played by over 1/3rd of all players: Mox Sapphire Round 7, winning with lands and only lands - Magic1264: Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale Wasteland Ghost Quarter Mutavault Mutavault Round 7, played by over 1/3rd of all players: Mesmeric Fiend Round 8, out of the Depths, I cry to you, oh Marit Lage - SageShadows: Dark Depths Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Thoughtseize Vampire Hexmage Vampire Hexmage Round 9, look at what he brought to Show and Tell - joz: Island Simian Spirit Guide Simian Spirit Guide Show and Tell Progenitus Round 9, played by over 1/3 of all players: Mox Jet Winners List: 3 yakusoku 1 coinmagic45 joz LegendaryFerret Magic1264 SageShadows s14sh3r Decklists: 1. yakusoku Mox Ruby Scrubland Inquisition of Kozilek Bitterblossom Island Sanctuary 2.

yakusoku Member	posted May 12, 2011 07:50 AM 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: code: ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 TOTAL ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??

SageShadows Member	posted May 12, 2011 05:21 PM 1. yakusoku LL Inquisition is game. 2. Magic1264 WW On the play, I get Aluren off before he can swing and I win. On the draw, he makes 16 goblins (Petal, Ritual, LED, Yawg Will, Lotus, Ritual, LED, EtW). I play a land. He swings for 16. On my turn, I can have Aluren go off. 3. joz LL Blackmail for Strix wins the game. 4. Numotflame96 LL Leyline of Sanctity is horrible and makes me lose. 5. Myy LL The deck is too fast for me to cope. 6. LemonMeringue LL Magus of the Moon is an evil evil thing. 7. SageShadows XX 8.

Magic1264 WW. I play Island Sanctuary, then fly over his Goblin horde with Faerie tokens. 3. joz WL. On the play, I resolve Bitterblossom and that's enough to kill him. On the draw, I lose Bitterblossom or the means to play it and lose. 4. Numotflame96 WW. I play Island Sanctuary and fly over his guys with Faeries. 5. Myy WL. On the play, Island Sanctuary stops his Attack. On the draw, I can do nothing. 6. LemonMeringue WL. On the play, Bitterblossom wins it. On the draw, Magus of the Moon stops me from playing anything useful. 7. SageShadows WW. I Inquisition Parasitic Strix and he has nothing left. 8. Liq WL. On the play, Inquisition takes RSZ. On the draw, he plays out his entire hand and RSZ is in his library, safe from Inquisition and he just burns me out.
Myy Member	posted May 13, 2011 07:17 AM @SageShadows why don't you use hickory woodlot if you want 2 GREEN on the second turn? I think it's better no? [Edited 2 times, lastly by Myy on May 13, 2011]

Hehe, cuz I didn't know that card existed. XD Besides, the games that I lost wouldn't have been won with Hickory Woodlot. I'll keep that in mind though; thanks!
