Author	Topic: Vanishing 5-Card Blind Tournament, Round 15
yakusoku Member	posted June 13, 2011 05:30 PM 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: Lightning Helix 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 Blightsteel Colossus Ensnaring Bridge Isochron Scepter Mana Crypt Mana Vault Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Pithing Needle The Rack Scalding Tongs Trinisphere Black: Cabal Therapy Contagion Dark Ritual Nether Spirit Oona's Prowler Reanimate Thoughtseize Unmask Vampire Hexmage Blue: Chain of Vapor Daze Disrupting Shoal Foil Force of Will Force Spike Hive Mind Leyline of Anticipation Leyline of Singularity Mental Misstep Show and Tell Sphinx of Jwar Isle Tidal Warrior Web of Inertia Green: Channel Red: Burning Inquiry Pact of the Titan Seething Song Simian Spirit Guide Sneak Attack White: Balance Chancellor of the Annex Winning decks that caused cards to be banned (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 Round 10, from a sneaky, sneaky guy - Myy: Blightsteel Colossus Sneak Attack Mox Ruby City of Traitors Seething Song Round 11, doing bad, evil things with black mana (like winning) - yakusoku Chancellor of the Annex Swamp Dark Ritual Oona's Prowler Reanimate Round 12, making Lightning strike the same place every turn - Myy: Isochron Scepter Lightning Helix City of Traitors Unmask Contagion Round 13, Dazing and Confusing - yakusoku: Island Tidal Warrior Tidal Warrior Mental Misstep Daze Round 14 - Blue spells for the win, Magic1264: Disrupting Shoal Force Spike Saprazzan Cove Web of Inertia Sphinx of Jwar Isle Winners List: 5 yakusoku 2 Magic1264 Myy 1 coinmagic45 joz LegendaryFerret SageShadows s14sh3r Decklists: 1. yakusoku Chrome Mox Scrubland Seal of Cleansing Bitterblossom Island Sanctuary 2.

mattw Member	posted June 14, 2011 06:38 AM sorry i didn't get a chance to score myself. Have been out on a canadian camping trip all weekend and couldn't function when i got back.
Myy Member	posted June 14, 2011 06:56 AM I didn't get a chance to submit a deck last week, but I will try my best this one. just gotta come up with something awesome
yakusoku Member	posted June 15, 2011 07:36 AM Today is the LAST day to submit.
yakusoku Member	posted June 16, 2011 05:52 PM 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 TOTAL ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??
Numotflame96 Member	posted June 16, 2011 07:19 PM 1. yakusoku WW Chrome Mox Scrubland Seal of Cleansing Bitterblossom Island Sanctuary T1: serra T1: blosom rfg sanctuary/seal(both useless) t2: elixir pop, 25, atk 26 t2: get token, 18 t3:, draw elixir, go to 31, ascendant becomes a 6/6. he can only kill ascendant if he doesn't block for 5 more turns. even if he somehow did that without dying, i just have a crap load of life and can recycle ascendant. eventually he loses to his own blossom. 2. Magic1264 WW City of Traitors Chrome Mox Magus of the Moon Words of War Phyrexian Revoker t1: revoker, naming elixir t1 path t2 words t2 elixir, recylce t3 shoot with words 18 t3 draw path t4 shoot 16 t4 elixir, go to 21 t5 shoot 19 t5 elixir 24 t6 shoot 22 t6 elixir 26 .... elixir 32 shoot, 30 cast ascendant as a 6/6, win 3. Numotflame96 XX Path to exile Serra Ascendant Plains exlixir of imortality city of traitors 4. junichi LL Chancellor of the Tangle Chancellor of the Tangle Chancellor of the Tangle Chancellor of the Tangle Eureka great deck here. 5. Myy WW City of Traitors Grim Monolith Torpor Orb Phyrexian Dreadnaught Phyrexian Dreadnaught t1: orb t1: elxiir t2: 2 dreadnaughts t2: path 1, pop elixir go to 25 t3: atk, i go to 13 t4 i draw elixir, cast it and serra t4, atk, i let it through, draw path and kill dread naught then atk him to death 6. SageShadows City of Traitors Sol Ring Sol Ring Lodestone Golem Wurmcoil Engine he has T1 golem. i play nothing. he casts WCE and attacks for 5. i pte his engine then play elixir. he hits for 5 putting me on 10. i gain 5 from elixir and shuffle pte and elixir. he attacks me to 10 again. i draw elixir and cast ascendant. he attacks, igo to 5. i draw pte, kills his golem and attack to death with ascendant. ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 TOTAL 03 6 6 X 0 6 6 24 i think i tie with junichi for the win this time just by looking and seeing that i think both of us have 1 loss. thanks Yak XD

SageShadows Member	posted June 18, 2011 09:29 AM 1. yakusoku WD On the play, a Lodestone Golem was all she said. On the draw, he can land an Island Sanctuary, which totally invalidates my gameplan, but I cut off his ability to play Bitterblossom. 2. Magic1264 WL On the play, I can get out a Lodestone Golem. He can revoker away my sol ring, but I still will win. On the draw, Magus kills me. 3. Numotflame96 LL Covered this before. 4. junichi WL On the play, I stop Eureka. On the draw, I don’t. 5. Myy DL On the play, I get lodestone out. He drops a dreadnaught. I play my Wurmcoil. He plays his second dreadnaught. Wurmcoil offers enough defenses so that he can’t swing without losing both his Dreadnaughts one at a time to the deathtouch, so we stare. I lose on the draw. 6. SageShadows XX ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 TOTAL 06 4 3 0 3 1 X 11 New decklist soon, I suppose [Edited 1 times, lastly by SageShadows on June 18, 2011]
yakusoku Member	posted June 18, 2011 10:59 AM code: ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 TOTAL 01 X 3 0 6 6 1 16 1. yakusoku Chrome Mox Scrubland Seal of Cleansing Bitterblossom Island Sanctuary 2. Magic1264 WL. On the draw, he plays Revoker naming Chrome Mox and I can't do anything. On the play, I play Bitterblossom (removing Sanctuary) and if he plays Magus, I still win. If he plays Words, I play Seal and destroy his words. If he plays Revoker naming Chrome Mox, I win. 3. Numotflame96 LL. See above. 4. junichi WW. Island Sanctuary saves me from a gruesome death, then I ride tokens for the win. 5. Myy WW. Island Sanctuary stops his creatures, then I win with Bitterblossom. 6. SageShadows DL. Island Sanctuary forces a draw on the play, but I can't play Bitterblossom after he plays Lodestone Golem.
