1. Asthereal (TO): Swamp, Blinkmoth Nexus, Inquisition of Kozilek, Bitterblossom
I actually forgot the Blinkmoth was in these sets, so I only narrowly win one, math was already posted, should be 3-3.
2. Tylert: Blinkmoth nexus, Izzet Boilerworks, Jhoira of the Ghitu, Emrakul, the aeons torn
Not seeing how I can win this one. 0-6
3. square_two: Academy Ruins, Izzet Boilerworks, Engineered Explosives, Pyrite Spellbomb
As posted by S2, EE not good here. 6-0
4. Wrath of Pie: Blinkmoth Nexus, Swamp, Inquisition of Kozilek, Bitterblossom
Same 3-3 as before.
5. H: Bye, myself.
6. Unlif3: Cavern of Souls, Blinkmoth Nexus, Death's Shadow, Spellskite
Spellkite walls me out. 0-6
7. GoblinSmashmaster: City of Brass, Durkwood Baloth, Inquisition of Kozilek, Path to Exile
I took the risk on someone playing both IoK and Path. 0-6
8. FTW: Academy Ruins, Dimir Aqueduct, Arcbound Ravager, Engineered Explosives
Again, EE not great here. 6-0
18? Since I was near last, I didn't want to do BB math, I just went for something silly. I considered Vial, but that was so bad with IoK around. And double Vial builds would get blown out by Path.

Somebody put you down as 6-0 in the spreadsheet, so I got curious if you could race the Suspend.
H - Reckoner
T - Jhoira
H - Reckoner #2. Attack [T=17]
T - Suspend Emrakul with 4 counters
H - Attack with both [T=11]
T - 3 counters
H - Attack with both. [T=5]
T - 2 counters
H - Attack with both. Chump with 1/1 Blinkmoth and Jhoira. Reckoners trigger, 3 to face. [T=2]
T - 1 counter
H - Attack [T=dead]
You race him before it resolves!
OTD Emrakul resolves a turn earlier and annihilates your board.
WL 3-3?

No time to do the calculation, but you guys are not fun, why playing IoK over raven's crime which is the clear best card here???!!!
I tried something funny, instead of playing something like IoK + Bitterblossom :) But you guys went for IoK or PoE!!
Yeah, obviously competitive player saw obviously good cards and obviously played them. Had to try to vacate that last place. Sorry!
Anyway, at last I'm better now, after a very badly timed sickness. Time to take a look a what the heck happened in this final round.

Gobbo finishes a very consistent season in style with a clear win. Well done and congratz on clinching this season!
Everybody else finishes within 6 points of eachother, but I have to say last season's champ disappointed a bit here.
I'll be updating things in the next few days. Keep an eye in the thread for the launch of season 5.

My apologies for the slow launch. My sickness during the holidays messed up my schedule quite a bit.
So I'll launch now, but actually give you guys a little over a week to come up with your first deck.
SEASON FIVE OF 4CB: MODERN MADNESS
For season 5, we'll be playing 12 rounds of Modern, with a starting banned list plus banning the winning deck after each round.
I have decided to start with a modest banned list, since cards that break the meta will get banned soon anyway.
This way, we'll have maximum card pool for the first few rounds, including stuff like Mental Misstep and friends.
You will find the banned list in the second post of the thread, and in the second tab of the Google Spreadsheet.
Please note: all cards that are noted in the Gatherer as "legal in Modern" are legal, AND all cards that are noted "banned in Modern" but don't appear in our banned list are also legal.
You know, we work with our own banned list, but I had to define it clearly so nobody gets confuzzled.
Oh, and you can find the Google Spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Anyway, let's get this going. I have PM'ed myself my deck for round 1, so you can start sending me your decks.
DEADLINE: Wednesday the 15th of January, at 11:00AM Central European Time.
(That's my time zone. Pacific Time it'll probably be something like Tuesday night a bit past midnight, so keep that in mind.)
PLEASE NOTE:
The way you send your deck to me matters. Please send it in the way described below, so it doesn't cost me an hour of editing before I can post all the decks.
Please send your deck as follows: Swamp, Mountain, Blightspeaker, Combust (so with card tags around each card, and not above eachother), with your Username and 4CB S05R01 in the topic.
Many of you already do this. Thanks a lot, this really saves me a lot of time and hassle of copying and pasting text and tags!
After the deadline has passed, I will post all decks on the forum here, and you can start puzzling out your scores.
If you have any questions, please read the first two posts of this thread first. If you can't find the answer there, drop a message here. We'll answer a.s.a.p.
Also, if you've been lurking on this thread and looking to join, you can step in anytime, any round. That's no problem at all. Just send me your deck before the deadline, and I'll add you to the competition.
Happy deck designing everybody!

Indeed this is a one time thing.
The alternative was either change the schedule entirely, or a deadline within 48 hours.
So I chose this. After this round, we'll return to the regular schedule of one round per week.
Also, no one seems opposed to banning the "UU: you win" card, so I'll add it to the banned list.

A little under a day until the deadline, and we're at just 3 entries. Tough start?

The deadline has passed, and I'm still at just 4 entries.
Do you guys need a bit more time? Or is everybody getting a bit tired of 4CB?
