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!

Now, now, children. I love you all EQUALLY.

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

1. yakusoku (win-loss)

Squirrel Nest
Earthcraft
Forest
Forest
Forest

on the play i'm too fast for him to get an infinite army untapped. on the draw, i'm too slow.

2. Magic1264 (win-win)

Mox Diamond
Volcanic Island
City of Traitors
Back to Basics
Words of War

This deck doesn't do much to me. Basic lands and dreadnought wins it.

3. WeedIan (win-win)

Invisible Stalker
Orim's Chant
Tundra
Azorius Chancery
Soldevi Digger

I can encroach a land always. if he ever goes for his chancery, i'll encroach the tundra on my turn. he won't be able to recur the chant so i'll get him.

4. MAB_Rapper (win-draw)

Badlands
Grove of the Burnwillows
Despise
Punishing Fire
Punishing Fire

On the play, I encroach badlands, and get him with dreadnought. on the draw, he despises my dreadnought, i encroach his grove. no one can win.

5. LemonMeringue (loss-loss)

Mountain
Rite of Flame
Rite of Flame
Rite of Flame
Form of the Dragon

Form of the dragon gets me here. If only dreadnought could fly... that wouldn't be too much to ask for, right?

6. Numotflame96 (win-loss)

Icatian Store
Eternal Dragon
Dismember
Swamp
Vindicate

On the play, I encroach his Store, and get him with the Dreadnought. On the draw, he vindicates the dreadnought and gets me with eternal dragon.

7. Pringlesman (loss-loss)

Lotus Bloom
Lotus Bloom
Second Sunrise
Pyrite Spellbomb
Conjurer's Babuble

his combo gets me too quick.

8. Myy (win-draw)

Tarnished Citadel
Encroach
Dismember
Dismember
Death's Shadow

On the play I encroach his citadel and kill him. on the draw, he can manipulate his life total to make the game unwinnable for me, but his death's shadow can only be a 12/12 at most; he can't attack with it or ill swing back to win.

9. stab107 (win-win)

Grove of the Burnwillows
Punishing Fire
Forest
Mayor of Avarbuck
Blinkmoth Nexus

he can't really put enough toughness in my way to survive long enough for the mayor to cause me trouble.

10. Alexisonfyre (win-loss)

City of Traitors
Mox Diamond
Island
Wistful Thinking
Sea Drake

on the play i encroach the city of traitors and kill him. on the draw, he drops my hand

2. Magic1264 WW. B2B doesn't affect me and I make infinite squirrels.

3. WeedIan WL.

4. MAB_Rapper WW. He can't stop my combo.

5. LemonMeringue LL. 1 Form > infinite squirrels.

6. Numotflame96 WL. On the play, I win before he Vindicates. On the draw, he Vindicates before I win.

7. Pringlesman LL. He's faster than me.

8. Myy WW. Encroach and Dismember don't do enough against me.

9. stab107 WW. I combo out and overwhelm him.

10. Alexisonfyre LL. I lose my hand before I can do anything.

11. dfitzg88 WL. I combo off before he can attack twice on the play, lose on the draw.

on the play i'm too fast for him to get an infinite army untapped. on the draw, i'm too slow.


I think I'm also too fast on the draw:

dfitz: Swamp
yaku: Forest
dfitz: Swamp, Torpor Orb
yaku: Forest, Earthcraft
dfitz: Phyrexian Dreadnaught
yaku: Forest, Squirrel Nest
dfitz: attack for 12
yaku: make a million squirrels. You can't attack into my army, and next turn I attack and you can't survive.

Why not? Your army consists of 999,999 tapped squirrels and 1 untapped squirrel. Your at 8 and he has a 12/12 trampler.

I was thinking it worked like Kiki-Jiki/Splinter Twin + Pestermite/Deceiver Exarch for some reason.

I've edited my score.

When i am on the play i can stall the game forever by putting chant on my deck and casting it in your upkeep to stop you from getting the 3 casting cost spell ever so it will be a draw.
