4 Card Blind

[Tylert]

Do we miss a lot of results to start the next round?

[Asthereal]

Sooo... That's a weird time. The Dutch govenment just imposed an evening curfew, and there's tons of protest and rioting.
Today, idiots decided to destroy the train station I needed to travel through, stranding me in the middle of the country.
I am now a guest at a friend's place and posting from there.

Anyway, let's have a look how well my own deck did. Too well, I'm guessing.

1. Asthereal (TO): Grove of the Burnwillows, Mountain, Punishing Fire, Volcanic Dragon
That's me. I had no inspiration whatsoever, so I just made this 3CB deck that should be good against X/3 guys.
2. Wrath of Pie: Timberline Ridge, Helix Pinnacle, Mugging, Mugging
I'm too good and win this easily. 0-6
3. Reeplcheep: Pine Barrens, Deathmark, Deathmark, Helix Pinnacle
Still I'm too good and win this easily. 0-6
4. FTW: Veldt, Helix Pinnacle, Traproot Kami, Green Scarab
More terribleness for me to destroy. 0-6
5. dte: Wirewood Symbiote, Ketria Triome, Saprazzan Legate, Saprazzan Legate
Oh no! I have a mountain. Now you can cast 1/3 flyers and murder me! 6-0
6. jhhdk: Secluded Steppe, Secluded Steppe, Circle of protection: Green, Mesa Pegasus
CoP: Green, nice tech! Pegasus dies and Fire burns you. 0-6
7. H: Swamp, Reaver Drone, Deathmark, Deathmark
That creature is actually quite good. Still my deck is much better. 0-6
8. alphastryk: Subterranean Hangar, Glistening Oil, Diamond Kaleidoscope, Helix Pinnacle
Bad rares are bad and die to my Fire! 0-6
9. Tylert: Forest, Sulfur vent, Budoka gardener, Jade mage
Fire eats your guys and then you. 0-6
10. GoblinSmashmaster: Snow-Covered Forest, Snow-Covered Mountain, Bear Cub, Ayula, Queen Among Bears
Edit: luckily, your bear never lives long enough to get the trigger and make the 4/4 bear, so phew, Fire still burns your team and then you. 0-6
11. Serguei: Subterranean Hangar, Perish, Mental agony, Acolyte of Xathrid
Fire eats your wincon, discard makes me lose the Dragon but I couldn't cast that anyway. Fire burns you. 0-6
12. maxx!: Karplusan Forest, Molten Slagheap, Elvish Archers, Dead Ringers
Fire eats your guy and then you. 0-6

Total: 6 points. That's crap. Oh well.

Nope. It's been a bit of a mess on my end. Build your deck, and I'll open the round soon enough.
All I need to do is build my own deck in order to open the round. I hope to do that tonight.

Thankfully, we don't need to finish this round in order to start the next one.
There are no bannings from last round to influence the next, and the plan for next round is public already.

I haven't had time to build the new spreadsheet and collect results for round 1 yet, but I'll do that before the deadline for round 2.


EDIT: Except for the fact that we need to do an emergency banning.
I completely overlooked the card Approach of the Second Sun, which is of course stupid.
Apologies for the oversight. I'll add it to the bannings for next round, because that card is obviously not fun.
We can beat it many ways, but it's just not a fun things to have in the meta. I'm sure you guys can live with this.


EDIT2: I would like to suggest we also ban Barren Glory, which I thought we had already banned, but apparently not.
I'll give you guys a bit of time to protest against these bannings. Let me know if you can't live with them, and why.

Sooo... That's a weird time. The Dutch govenment just imposed an evening curfew, and there's tons of protest and rioting.

The weirdest to me is that Danes and Dutch are rioting, and French or Spanish are not.

You've beaten everyone but me, and I've been beaten by everyone but you.
Funny result, I was on the lucky end of this paper/scissors/rocks.


Otherwise, perfectly fine with the bannings.

1) Indeed. The Danes! They never ever riot!

2) Indeed. I failed to post a deck with a worse land than Mountain, which actually saved me against you. Sooo weird.

3) Cool, thanks. I was looking at possible cards to play for my deck for next round and found Barren Glory and that weird 7 mana thing and thougfht: OH CRAP, I did not prepare this well at all.

[Wrath of Pie]

I'm not convinced Approach of the Second Sun is actually even good, because of how I expect the format to end up. Not really a big loss though.

[FTW]

We may not want to allow
Chancellor of the Annex, Chancellor of the Annex, Approach of the Second Sun, Approach of the Second Sun

But that is already banned for other reasons.

Either way, I have no opposition to its banning.

Ahem!? As the supreme leader of Antifa in Denmark. I am offended by this.
