  1. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Submitted a deck (that is likely to score poorly)
  2. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Just submitted
  3. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    +1 to beating both decks, I think that narrows things down significantly
  4. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    I definitely thought the banlist was cumulative, so Pinnacle would still be banned - that's how other season bannathons worked in the past.
  5. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Agreed, updated spreadsheet

  7. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Clearly the optimal anti-backbuild deck is just Chancellor of the Annex, Cavern of Souls, Black Lotus, Thassa's Oracle

    But of course that loses to City of Traitors, Urza's Saga, Chancellor of the...
  8. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Backbuild is weird and I'm not really surprised a large number of entries can't beat a literal goldfish. Not sure that's truly solvable or just the reality of backbuild.

    Lets see how many draws...
  9. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    I think we need to resolve the ban rules clearly before we move on to the next round
  10. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    I did forget to invert my points in my post but will update in the spreadsheet if that's how we're doing the math.

    Edit - it looks like someone already updated me there
  11. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Aha, I was thinking I needed to use my other land to take counters off of Mage-Ring Network but I don't, will remove 2 turns from every calculation:

    Make 7 mana with Mage-Ring Network + Land Cap...
  12. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Thanks for clarifying
  13. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Results for round 1 (I've recalculated my GT over and over again and I keep getting 189, can somebody help me see what I might have missed?):

  14. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Are we really all that likely to run totally out of storage lands? There's at least 16 of them off the top of my head plus things like the Mana Batteries
  15. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    I definitely thought that was part of the idea where it changes the meta continually, although the changing target decks will do that as well.
  16. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    I also was expecting any nonbasic to get banned, feels hard to determine what counts as "only makes mana"
  17. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    Fair enough!
  18. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    As a senior software developer, this hurt to read :laugh:
  19. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    There's a lot to unpack there, the part I added and fully understand is the
    IFERROR(<existing expression>; 0) piece which says "if the lookup failed inside <existing expression>, meaning the...
  20. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    My vote would be that illegal entries just don't count - we don't score them at all. That's the cleanest answer that works for the whole season no matter what.
  21. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    The simplest answer if your deck is either banned or fails to beat the target deck is to eliminate your entry for that round. Its no fun for the person making the mistake but all the other answers...
  22. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    I believe it's to beat a literal goldfish, so in general for GT but you also need to describe how you beat the target deck.
  23. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    I suspect fairly important as it may be the primary way to determine matchup winners
  24. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    I suspect having to create a deck and stick with it from the beginning is a sizable disadvantage - I often came up with my best decks late in the week after iterating through several other ideas.
  25. Re: 4CBS13: a 4-cards blind backbuild bannathon season

    That makes total sense, I just blindly clicked assuming it would work
