Asthereal results for round anti-artifact:
1. Asthereal (TO): that's me, sporting a variant of what everybody's sporting: Forest, Blinkmoth Nexus, Blinkmoth Nexus, Viridian Shaman
2. Unlif3: Shaman and Chosen will trade, Nexuses don't attack for two draws? 2-2
3. Wrath of Pie: Shaman and Chosen will trade, Nexuses don't attack for two draws? 2-2
4. Tylert: You too can keep the creatures back for defense for two draws. 2-2
5. H: We can both attack for 3 max. but you get damage in earlier, so I have to keep my guys back for defense. You don't attack (or you lose) so again two draws? 2-2
6. FTW: If I keep Shaman back, you can only attack once every two turns. I attack every turn with Nexus (flying), so I win both? 6-0
Total: 14 points - almost a full set of draws... Not the awesomest round.

Oh no I'm too slow!
I was going to send this: Cloudpost, Cloudpost, Eater of Days, Eater of Days.
All that artifact hate really hurts but maybe I still would have won the race?
1. Asthereal (TO): Forest, Blinkmoth Nexus, Blinkmoth Nexus, Viridian Shaman
2. Unlif3: Forest, Blinkmoth Nexus, Oxidize, Tel-Jilad Chosen
3. Wrath of Pie: Blinkmoth Nexus, Forest, Tel-Jilad Chosen, Oxidize
4. Tylert: Swamp, Blinkmoth nexus, Blind creeper, Shattered dreams
5. H: Mirrodin's Core, Swamp, Oxidize, Blind Creeper
6. FTW: Forest, Oxidize, Myr Servitor, Myr Servitor
1. Asthereal: I don't see a way to get out of this. 2-2.
2. Unlif3: Same problem here. You can't attack with both creatures and keep oxidize up, so if you attack I win the damage race and you have to double block + oxydize a turn later for the draw. 2-2
3. Wrath of Pie: Draw 2-2
4. Me
5. Another draw. You can Oxidize my nexus and block my blind creeper. 2-2
6. FTW: To damage me you have to attack with both, but my blind creeper makes more damage. So draw. 2-2
Full set of draws...
Total = 10.
I had many more decks but I did not want to play decks that would take a hit from artifact hate...
I did not play this deck : Swamp, Blinkmoth nexus, blind creeper, blind creeper because it was dead to big mana artifacts decks like cloudpost, cloudpost, (soul foundry, grid monitor) or (silent arbiter, eater of days). But i should have known that no one would play artifacts :)
No one even tried An Arcbound ravager deck :)
Another deck that wasn't too bad in my testing was triple myr servitor deck. I think it would have been decent in this meta.
Funny to see how in 4CB, artifacts deck are crappy compared to their dominance in the block format at that time :)
3. Wrath of Pie: Blinkmoth Nexus, Forest, Tel-Jilad Chosen, Oxidize
1. Asthereal (TO): Forest, Blinkmoth Nexus, Blinkmoth Nexus, Viridian Shaman DD
2. Unlif3: Forest, Blinkmoth Nexus, Oxidize, Tel-Jilad Chosen DD - This was an excellent submission.
4. Tylert: Swamp, Blinkmoth nexus, Blind creeper, Shattered dreams DD
5. H: Mirrodin's Core, Swamp, Oxidize, Blind Creeper DD?
6. FTW: Forest, Oxidize, Myr Servitor, Myr Servitor WW
2w6d = 12 points
I better double check to make sure we aren't playing Backbuild, that is a lot of draws.
Less than an hour, that's too bad!
But I fear I can't add your decks anymore now.
And yup, looks like it would race a number of decks here.
Yup, looks very much like top level chess with all these draws.
Sad round, I'm afraid. Not all blocks make for cool 4CB.

Same deck, same results as Wrath of Pie. Very drawish.
1. Asthereal (TO): Forest, Blinkmoth Nexus, Blinkmoth Nexus, Viridian Shaman DD
2. Unlif3: Forest, Blinkmoth Nexus, Oxidize, Tel-Jilad Chosen (It's me !)
3. Wrath of Pie: Blinkmoth Nexus, Forest, Tel-Jilad Chosen, Oxidize DD - This was an excellent submission.
4. Tylert: Swamp, Blinkmoth Nexus, Blind Creeper, Shattered Dreams DD
5. H: Mirrodin's Core, Swamp, Oxidize, Blind Creeper LL
6. FTW: Forest, Oxidize, Myr Servitor, Myr Servitor WW
2w6d = 12 points
6. FTW: Forest, Oxidize, Myr Servitor, Myr Servitor
1. Asthereal (TO): I kill one Blinkmoth but the other kills me while I can't get damage through fast enough. LL 0-6
2. Unlif3: I kill Blinkmoth and I thought I could race on the play, but you can stall me with Oxidize on my turn 1 guy allowing you to get the first attack for 2. LL 0-6
3. Wrath of Pie: Same deck. LL 0-6
4. Tylert: I kill Blinkmoth and chump Blind Creeper forever. DD 2-2
5. H: Oxidize stops my recursion. LL 0-6
Total: 2 points FTL
Edit: H match

Ugh, conditional trigger or conditional resolving of the trigger. I never know how this works. So let's look it up.
Rulings, according to the Gatherer:
"The Myr Servitor that’s the source of the triggered ability must still be on the battlefield when the ability resolves. If it is, all other Myr Servitor cards are returned from all graveyards to the battlefield under their owner’s control. If it’s not, no Myr Servitors are returned to the battlefield."
So indeed, the Myrs fail to return if you kill the last one in response to the trigger.

Thanks guys, so it looks like draws vs. everyone, except FTW, for me, so 14?

If that's correct, I can do the standings off the top of my head.
1. Asthereal (14p, 2.8sp)
1. Unlif3 (14p, 2.8sp)
1. Wrath of Pie (14p, 2.8sp)
1. H (14p, 2.8sp)
5. Tylert (10p, 2.0sp)
6. FTW (2p, 0.4sp)
Note: Wrath (and so Unlif3 also) had noted the games against H as two losses at first, but two draws now.
I think the draws are correct:
Wrath (and Unlif3) can wait for H to attack with Creeper and go:
Tap Nexus to activate Nexus. Tap Forest, cast Oxidize on Nexus (Creeper gets -1/-1 and is now 2/2). Then block with Chosen. Both die, and it's a draw.
I don't see better lines for either. Does everyone agree this is optimal play for both parties?

It's not the most obvious line ever, so I can imagine overlooking it at first.
Cool, so the above is correct, giving us the boringest standings we've had so far. Better luck next round!
I'll try to conjure up a deck today. I'll let you guys know as soon as I have sent myself my deck.
EDIT: Season standings do change. Wrath takes third place by just 0.1 season point.
