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 or send me an e-mail 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!

Apology for missing the score sheet. I thought I submitted it last week, but guess I didn't.

ANYONE can just submit a decklist to me, either through PM or through e-mail.

The winner this week will win either a FOIL Staggershock, a FOIL Arc Trail, a FOIL Kird Ape, or a FOIL Lightning Bolt (M10) - winner's choice.

The decklists have been posted.

You may use other formats as well, but this one is a must. Also 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 9 TOTAL
?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??

1. yakusoku WL
On the play, I get Aluren out fast enough to beat him with my 2/1 and 2/2 On the draw, he can Meddling Mage Aluren for a GG.

2. Magic1264 WW
I’m pretty sure my T2 combo is faster.

3. mattw LL
Inquisition is GG.

4. dfitzg88 LL
Duress is GG.

5. junichi LL
Can’t beat shroud.

6. Numotflame96 DD
Sonic Seizure can kill something and I am sad.


7. Myy LL
Orb stops the combo- I'm stupid.

8. SageShadows XX

9. Liq WW
His clock’s just too slow.

1. yakusoku XX

Leyline of Sanctity
Meddling Mage
Plains
Island
Echoing Truth

2. Magic1264 WW. I name Umbral Mantle and win both games.

3. mattw WW. Inquisition and Diabolic Edict can't target me and I name Obstinate Baloth.

4. dfitzg88 WW. I name Phyrexian Obliterator and bounce it if he casts it.

5. junichi WW. I name Solitary Confinement and bounce it if he casts it.

6. Numotflame96 WW.

On the draw:

{start the game with Leyline on the battlefield}
Numot: Mountain
yak: Plains
Numot: Forbidden Orchard
yak: Island, Meddling Mage naming Sonic Seizure

From here, he loses to my creatures. Numot can't play Sonic Seizure before Oath or he loses Oath. He can never use Sonic Seizure to kill Meddling Mage. So, he either has SS stuck in his hand when I name it with MM, or he loses Oath if he casts it in response.

7. Myy WL. On the play, I name Phyrexian Dreadnaught, take 12 and bounce his Dreadnaught. On the draw, I'm too slow.

8. SageShadows WL. On the play, I name Aluren. On the draw, I lose to two 2-power creatures.

9. Liq WW. I name Myr Servitor and bounce all his Myrs back to his hand.

I see it differently. You never get a chance to Sonic Seizure my Meddling Mage. It's either on the stack so it's not a legal target for Sonic Seizure, or it's on the battlefield and it's stopping you from playing Sonic Seizure. There's no time at which you can burn it if I always name Sonic Seizure. I agree that if you play Oath, I'll name Sonic Seizure and you'll lose, but if you don't play Oath, I'll also play Meddling Mage naming Sonic Seizure and you'll lose. You can't target Meddling Mage with Sonic Seizure and you can't target me. So, your only choice left is to Sonic Seizure yourself, which will make you discard Oath of Druids. I get a 2/2, and you can't kill it. Even if you managed to play Oath and get it active, I could play Meddling Mage naming Sonic Seizure and Echoing Truth your Kozilek, so you still lose.

on a side note. I suggest Yaku MUST use moonlace in his next deck. it's only fair

Edit: I used the pronoun *he* in all of my descriptions. i don't know anyone's genders, so i apologize if there are any women in this as i don't know any of you very well.

Edit 2: fixed against opponent 2. for some reason i thought mantle was a 2 cost.

code:

## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TOTAL
04 0 6 0 X 3 6 4 6 6 31

1. yakusoku

Leyline of Sanctity
Meddling Mage
Plains
Island
Echoing Truth

LL - pretty awful. duress is dead and obliterator just gets bounced never to return again.

2. Magic1264

Forest
City of Traitors
Viridian Joiner
Umbral Mantle
Helix Pinnacle

WW - on the play - duress away his mantle and drop obliterator. on the draw - i do the same thing. obliterator kills him long before he can get to 100 counters.

3. mattw (he has 3 points listed against me. he should put 6)

Bayou
Inqusition of Kozilek
Obstinate Baloth
Rushwood Grove
Diabolic Edict

LL - on the play - i either drop edict with duress and play memnite, he inquisitions away my culling the weak and eventually plays baloth OR I drop obliterator and he makes me sac it by inquisitioning away my duress and then dropping edict. on the draw - he just inquisitions me and all i have is memnite, who is not good against baloth.

4. dfitzg88

Swamp
Duress
Memnite
Culling the Weak
Phyrexian Obliterator

xx

5. junichi

Solitary Confinement
Squee, Goblin Nabob
Copper Tablet
Lotus Petal
City of Traitors

WL - on the play, i duress away confinement and kill him with obliterator before tablet can do its job. on the draw, he drops confinement and i can't hit him for any damage so i die one turn before he would. jerk lol

6. Numotflame96 (he has 6 listed against me. he should have 0)

Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
Forbidden Orchard
Oath of Druids
Mountain
Sonic Seizure

WW - on the play i duress away oath before he can play it. on the draw i duress away oath before he can play it. obliterator turn 2 and his seizure just doesn't do anything but makes him sac all his permanents.

7. Myy (he has 3 listed against me. he should have 1)

City of Traitors
Torpor Orb
Lotus Petal
Phyrexian Dreadnaught
Phyrexian Dreadnaught

WD - on the play i duress away the orb and he can't do anything. i kill him with obliterator. on the draw he gets out a dreadnaught turn 1, I drop obliterator, and he attacks and i block; obliterator dies and he has to sac all his permanents doing only 19 damage (12 + 12-5) no one wins. either that or neither of us attacks and its a draw when it goes to time :P

8. SageShadows

Hickory Woodlot
City of Traitors
Aluren
Parasitic Strix
Cavern Harpy

WW - on the play, i duress away aluren before he has enough mana. on the draw, i duress away aluren before he has enough mana.

9. Liq

Darksteel Citadel
Myr Servitor
Myr Servitor
Myr Servitor
Myr Servitor

WW - he never has enough attack to kill obliterator and eventually runs out of myrs and has to sac permanents or lose to damage. either way obliterator kills him without being threatened.

Hate to kick you when you're down, but...

Liq: Land, Myr Servitor
Magic1264: Forest, Helix Pinnacle
Liq: Myr Servitor, attack for 1
Magic1264: City of Traitors, Viridian Joiner
Liq: Myr Servitor, attack for 1 (one is blocked)
Magic1264: Umbral Mantle, equip Viridian Joiner.
Liq: Return Myr Servitor, cast Myr Servitor, attack for 1.
Magic1264: Tap Viridian Joiner for G. Tap Forest and City of Traitors for 2G, use 2G to untap Viridian Joiner, which is now a 3/4. Tap Virdian Joiner for GGG (GGGG in mana pool). Use GGG to untap Viridian Joiner, which is now a 5/6. Tap Viridian Joiner for GGGGG, use GGG to untap, etc.

... add 100 counters to Helix Pinnacle

You attack, he takes more damage, then wins the next turn.
