Author	Topic: Vanishing 5-Card Blind Tournament, Round 27
yakusoku Member	posted September 26, 2011 06:46 PM Innistrad is LEGAL to use this week 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 Tidehollow Sculler 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 Sheltered Valley 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 Lotus Petal Mana Crypt Mana Vault Memnite Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Ornithopter Phyrexian Processor Pithing Needle The Rack Scalding Tongs Sol Ring Sphere of Resistance Trinisphere Black: Bitterblossom Blackmail Bloodghast Cabal Therapy Contagion Cry of Contrition Culling the Weak Dark Ritual Duress Exanguinate Funeral Charm Inquisition of Kozilek Leyline of the Void Mesmeric Fiend Nether Spirit Oona's Prowler Phyrexian Obliterator 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: Berserk Chancellor of the Tangle Channel Elvish Spirit Guide Eureka Fastbond Invigorate Nature's Claim Noxious Revival Red: Blazing Shoal Burning Inquiry Chancellor of the Forge Pact of the Titan Red Sun's Zenith Seething Song Simian Spirit Guide Sneak Attack White: Balance Balancing Act 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 -

stab107 Member	posted September 28, 2011 09:25 PM Well, let's see how fast we can get Innistrad cards banned, eh boys .
yakusoku Member	posted September 29, 2011 04:46 AM 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 TOTAL ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ?? ??
