Author	Topic: Vanishing 5-Card Blind Tournament, Round 23
yakusoku Member	posted August 29, 2011 02:12 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 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. Exceptions may be made for lands which are deemed too powerful for the environment such as Mishra's Workshop and Tolarian Academy. 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 Meddling Mage Progenitus Colorless non-artifacts: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre Lands: Dark Depths Gemstone Caverns Ghost Quarter Inkmoth Nexus Karakas Maze of Ith Mishra's Factory Mishra's Workshop Mutavault Shelldock Isle Strip Mine Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale Tolarian Academy Undiscovered Paradise Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Wasteland Artifacts: Amulet of Vigor Black Lotus Blightsteel Colossus Chalice of the Void Elixir of Immortality Ensnaring Bridge Isochron Scepter Lion's Eye Diamond Lodestone Golem Mana Crypt Mana Vault Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Phyrexian Processor Pithing Needle The Rack Scalding Tongs Sol Ring Sphere of Resistance Trinisphere Black: Bloodghast Cabal Therapy Contagion Dark Ritual Exanguinate Funeral Charm Inquisition of Kozilek Nether Spirit Oona's Prowler Reanimate Smallpox Thoughtseize Unmask Vampire Hexmage Blue: Chain of Vapor Daze Disrupting Shoal Echoing Truth Foil Force of Will Force Spike Hive Mind Leyline of Anticipation Leyline of Singularity Mental Misstep Show and Tell Spell Snare Sphinx of Jwar Isle Tidal Warrior Web of Inertia Green: Chancellor of the Tangle Channel Elvish Spirit Guide Eureka Fastbond Red: Burning Inquiry Pact of the Titan Red Sun's Zenith Seething Song Simian Spirit Guide Sneak Attack White: Balance Chancellor of the Annex Decree of Justice Leonin Relic-Warder Leyline of Sanctity Path to Exile Serra Ascendant Swords to Plowshares Winning decks that caused cards to be banned (History): Round 1, eschewing Black Lotus and Force of Will -

yakusoku Member	posted September 01, 2011 02:19 PM 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 10 11 12 TOTAL ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ?? ?? ??

Magic1264 WW Duress Phyrexian Revoker Noxious Revival Swamp Blinkmoth Nexus all i have to say is: duress got owned duress takes nothing, revoker can't name bazaar and vengevine and 2 lizards race. 3. Bugger WW City of traitors Voltaic Key Time vault Noxious Revival Telim'tor's Darts I don't think this works as intended. you can't activate both voltaic key to take a turn and darts in one turn since that would take 3 mana and you only have 2. not mise though since it could theoretically just activate darts 20 times. 4. Myy WL Bayou Duress Lotus Petal Tidehollow Sculler Nature's Claim he scullers me turn 1 and takes a rootwalla. on the play i get bazaar and have vengevine out turn 1 which races sculler. 5. dfitzg88 LL Energy Field Bitterblossom Underground Sea Underground Sea Duress can't do squat vs. feild. 6.

LemonMeringue WW Greater Gargadon Magus of the Moon City of Traitors Grove of the Burnwillows Punishing Fire both times i get turn 1 vengevine. he can block turn 2 with magus but i still kill him before gargadon comes down. 10. stab107 WW Savannah Bayou Duress Abolish Durkwood Baloth duress and abolish does nothing and vengevine is a faster clock than the baloth's suspend 11. edsillars LL City of Traitors Time Vault Voltaic Key Brass Gnat Noxious Revival embarasing losing to a brass gnat.... 12. SageShadows WL Chancellor of the Forge Forest Invigorate Blazing Shoal Berserk on the draw i have stuff to block 5 of 24 damage leaving me at 1. then i can discard kozilek to recycle everything and win. ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 TOTAL 08 0 6 6 3 0 X 6 X 6 06 00 03 36 if i screwed up blame novacane and laughing gas....

Bugger Member	posted September 01, 2011 04:19 PM I feel like if I could ever learn to read my cards better, I'd actually be doing well in this game. Seriously. Ugh. Oh well at least I can force draws. Scoring to come later, probably tomorrow after my classes are over. __________________ It is a known fact that more Americans watch the television than any other appliance.

I can't beat Leyline + Duress. 2. Magic1264 Duress Phyrexian Revoker Noxious Revival Swamp Blinkmoth Nexus WL. On the play I play a combo piece turn 1, then revival the other piece if it gets Duressed. On the draw there are a couple different scenarios in which I lose. 3. Bugger City of traitors Voltaic Key Time vault Noxious Revival Telim'tor's Darts WD. On the play I combo off. On the draw he has to combo for the draw but can't deal any damage. 4. Myy Bayou Duress Lotus Petal Tidehollow Sculler Nature's Claim LL. Pretty sure I scoop to Sculler both games. 5. dfitzg88 Energy Field Bitterblossom Underground Sea Underground Sea Duress WD. On the play I combo off and win, on the draw I combo off for the draw. 6. WeedIan leyline of the void leyline of singularity serra's sanctum city of traitor's Opalescence XX. Banned card. 7. mattw Bazaar Trader Immortal Coil Sandstone Needle Peat Bog Noxious Revival WW. I combo off easily both games. 8.

LemonMeringue Greater Gargadon Magus of the Moon City of Traitors Grove of the Burnwillows Punishing Fire WD. On the play I combo off for the win. On the draw he can play Magus turn 2, then my City can only make 1 mana for Key, and I combo off for the draw with no way to deal damage. 10. stab107 Savannah Bayou Duress Abolish Durkwood Baloth LL. Abolish + Duress beats me hard both games. 11. edsillars City of Traitors Time Vault Voltaic Key Brass Gnat Noxious Revival XX 12. SageShadows Chancellor of the Forge Forest Invigorate Blazing Shoal Berserk LL. I lose turn 1 both games.
stab107 Member	posted September 01, 2011 09:50 PM Pretty fun this week . If there are any discrepencies, feel free to let me know. 1. Yakusoku DD - Duress vs Duress, Baloth vs Baloth = STARE... 2. Magic1264 LL - Duress can take my Abolish before it can kill either of his guys thanks to Noxious Revival. Without a way to kill Blinkmoth there is no way to put enough pressure on with Baloth. 3. Bugger WW - Duress and Abolish handle the trio of Key/Vault/Nox and Baloth cleans up the rest. 4. Myy WW - On the play, suspend Baloth FTW. On the draw, he can't duress and Sculler on the same turn so he either hides Baloth with Sculler and I abolish it or he Duresses away the Abolish and I suspend Baloth FTW. 5. dfitzg88 DD - Duress battle results in stalemate as each game results in a state where Energy Field keeps Baloth at bay but doesn't allow him to play Blossom thanks to Abolish being at the ready. 6. WeedIan XX - Duress better get banned this round. Abolish is good tech though . 7. mattw WW - On the draw/play I can Duress away the Noxious Revival, leaving the board clear for Abolish to take out his Coil. 8. Numotflame96 LL - That's one heck of a beating! 9. LemonMeringue LL - Lose to Gargadon, the bigger, scarier Suspend card. 10. stab107 XX 11. edsillars WW - Duress and Abolish were built to handle this combo. 12. SageShadows DL - On the draw, can't do anything. On the play, Duress takes Shoal but when Baloth shows up as long as he holds it back as a blocker I can't attack without it dying so we stare. code: ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 TOTAL 10 2 0 6 X 2 6 6 0 0 XX 06 01 29 [Edited 1 times, lastly by stab107 on September 01, 2011]
dfitzg88 Member	posted September 02, 2011 12:09 AM Energy Field Bitterblossom Underground Sea Underground Sea Duress 1. yakusoku Nature's Claim Leyline of the Void Duress Bayou Durkwood Baloth DD On the play, I Duress away Duress, play Bitterblossom. He uses Nature's Claim before i get any faeries or Energy Field would mean victory. I cast Energy Field and it's a draw. On the draw, it's the same except he would Duress my Duress. 2. Magic1264 Duress Phyrexian Revoker Noxious Revival Swamp Blinkmoth Nexus DL On the play, I duress away Noxious Revival. He uses Duress to hit Bitterblossom (or it would kill him). Energy Field for the draw. On the draw, he hits Bitterblossom with Duress, gets it back with Noxious Revival (making my Duress useless) and discards my Energy Field before I can cast it. Revoker just kills me. 3. Bugger City of traitors Voltaic Key Time vault Noxious Revival Telim'tor's Darts DD I can get off energy field before he can combo off, which is my only option. He just takes infinite turns and draws. 4. Myy Bayou Duress Lotus Petal Tidehollow Sculler Nature's Claim DL If I go first, I duress away Lotus Petal and he has no win condition, but I don't either. If he goes first, he can play Sculler to take Duress, and then he can duress bitterblossom and nature's claim energy field before I can say much about it. 5. dfitzg88 Energy Field Bitterblossom Underground Sea Underground Sea Duress XX 6. WeedIan leyline of the void leyline of singularity serra's sanctum city of traitor's Opalescence XX Against any other leyline but Leyline of Singularity, I win this with bitterblossom, duressing away opalescence. 7. mattw Bazaar Trader Immortal Coil Sandstone Needle Peat Bog Noxious Revival DD I think energy field just makes this a draw but I'm not sure. 8. Numotflame96 Kozilek the butcher of truth bazaar of bahgdad basking rootwalla basking rootwalla Vengevine WW Energy Field and Bitterblossom just win this. 9. LemonMeringue Greater Gargadon Magus of the Moon City of Traitors Grove of the Burnwillows Punishing Fire WL On the play, I can get out bitterblossom before he can cast Magus, and if he does, he can't reuse punishing fire anymore. On the draw, he can get out Magus before I can say much about it. 10. stab107 Savannah Bayou Duress Abolish Durkwood Baloth DD On the play, I duress his Abolish. If he takes Bitterblossom, I just energy field for draw. On the draw, he duress's duress and then I play bitterblossom. When he abolish's it, I just energy field for draw. 11. edsillars City of Traitors Time Vault Voltaic Key Brass Gnat Noxious Revival DL I get out Energy Field before he can combo. On the draw, he combos 12. SageShadows Chancellor of the Forge Forest Invigorate Blazing Shoal Berserk WL on the draw I just die. on the play it looks like this: Duress away Blazing Shoal He swings for 10 I play bitterblossom He has no more plays as his guy is dead I go to 9 and make a faerie I go to 8 and make a faerie, swing for 1 (19) 7 - 17 6 - 14 5 - 10 4 - 5 3 - 0 code: ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 TOTAL 05 2 1 2 1 X - 2 6 3 02 01 03 23 I'm assuming we shouldn't score against WeedIan. I will adjust if we are supposed to score with a different leyline.
yakusoku Member	posted September 02, 2011 01:54 PM False alarm here, people. Nothing to see. I'll be back on Tuesday. code: ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 TOTAL 01 X 3 6 6 2 X 6 6 0 02 06 01 38 1. yakusoku XX Nature's Claim Leyline of the Void Duress Bayou Durkwood Baloth 2. Magic1264 WL. On the play, I grab Duress with Duress, then Nature's Claim Revoker away and race the Nexus. On the draw, I lose the race and die to either Nexus if I hold back to block, or both creatures if I don't. 3. Bugger WW. I destroy/Duress a piece of his combo away and win with Baloth. 4. Myy WW. On the play, I Duress away Lotus Petal and win with Baloth. On the draw, he has several options: If he leads off with Tidehollow, he can take Duress (pointless), Nature's Claim (I race the Sculler with Baloth and win), or Baloth (I Nature's Claim his Sculler and win with Baloth). If he leads off with Duress, taking my Duress, I can still either race the Sculler with Baloth or destroy it with Nature's Claim. 5. dfitzg88 DD See above. I can play to a draw, but can't win. I can take the wrong cards and lose. 6. WeedIan XX 7. mattw WW. I Duress Immortal Coil and race the Trader. 8. Numotflame96 WW Heh. Leyline was supposed to stop Noxious Revival, but it does wonders against Vengevine, too. 9. LemonMeringue LL. Duress is pretty bad here and I lose to his creatures. 10. stab107 DD Baloths stare. 11. edsillars WW I Duress/Nature's Claim a combo piece away and race the Gnat. 12. SageShadows DL. On the play, I Duress Blazing Shoal, and take a bunch from Invigorate + Berserk that forces me to hold back to block. On the draw, he kills me first turn.
