Join the 4 Card Blind competition!
The deadline for round 4 has passed, but I'm waiting for response on an illegal deck that was sent in.
So if anyone still wants to send something in, you can do so until I've posted the decks for the round.
I expect to post decks in 4-ish hours tops.
EDIT: Illegal deck has been legalized, but I'll be doing some work stuff for a bit, so there's still time if people want to join.

Asthereal results for round 4:
1. Asthereal (TO): that's me, thinking I was clever. Not so much, as it turns out... Snow-Covered Island, Mana Crypt, Show and Tell, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
2. Wrath of Pie: Blackmail wrecks me OTD, OTP Emrakul should do it. 3-3
3. apple713: I should have read the cards of the new set. Jace wins it. 0-6
4. GoblinSmashmaster: Emrakul trigger retrieves my cards, so I get to go off again. Emry > Memnite (duh!). 6-0
5. Whoshim: I should have read the cards of the new set. Jace wins it. 0-6
6. FTW: Blackmail wrecks me OTD, OTP Emrakul should do it. 3-3
7. H: Arcanist can't recast a CMC2 card, right? Making me sac Emry shuffles back S&T and Emry, so two turns later Emry returns and kills you, unless I miss something. 6-0
8. Tylert: You keep Deputy in hand to use when I S&T Emry into play. The other dudes will kill me at some point. 0-6
Total: 18 points.

Ah of course, they just printed another Lab Man. Should have looked at the new set.
FTW: Scrubland, Cenn's Tactician, Blackmail, Ghost Quarter
1. Asthereal (TO): OTP Blackmail takes Show and Tell or Island. OTD Emrakul kills me. WL 3-3
2. Wrath of Pie: OTP you hide Badlands, I discard your threat and you discard mine. OTD you suspend the Dragon and I can't beat it. DL 1-4
3. apple713: OTP Blackmail takes Jace or Academy. OTD you turn 1 me. WL 3-3
4. GoblinSmashmaster: OTP Blackmail takes Ruby or Academy and Cenn beats Memnite. OTD I have no hand. WL 3-3
5. Whoshim: OTP Blackmail takes Jace or Academy. OTD you turn 1 me. WL 3-3
7. H: OTP Blackmail takes Swamp or Ruby and you can't cast spells. OTD you can play Arcanist, but then Ghost Quarter kills your Swamp and you can never cast Rampage. Cenn's Tactician eventually outgrows Arcanist and wins. WW 6-0
8. Tylert: You hide Vial from Blackmail, so I take Deputy. Cenn's Tactician can grow big enough to stop Myr Superior or Chancellor on their own, and it can block two creatures, but it won't get big enough to win the double block in time. LL 0-6
19 points
5. Whoshim: Mox Sapphire, Mox Sapphire, Tolarian Academy, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
1. Asthereal (TO): Snow-Covered Island, Mana Crypt, Show and Tell, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn 6-0
2. Wrath of Pie: Badlands, Mox Ruby, Pardic Dragon, Blackmail 3-3
3. apple713: Mox Sapphire, Mox Sapphire, Tolarian Academy, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries 3-3
4. GoblinSmashmaster: Tolarian Academy, Mox Ruby, Memnite, Wheel of Fortune 3-3
6. FTW: Scrubland, Cenn's Tactician, Blackmail, Ghost Quarter 3-3
7. H: Angrath's Rampage, Dreadhorde Arcanist, Swamp, Mox Ruby 6-0
8. Tylert: Chancellor of the tangle, aether vial, myr superion, deputy of detention 6-0
30 points.
The discard decks all remove my win when going first, but I win when going first.
Three of the decks don't have a way to win turn 1 or stop my turn 1 win when they are on the play.
I am glad to see only one mirror match. It was generous of you to point out that the new set was coming out, apple713. I was worried you were going to alert people to the new Lab Man.
GoblinSmashmaster results for round "ban Lab Man V2":
1. Asthereal (TO): Snow-Covered Island, Mana Crypt, Show and Tell, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
Emrakul's clause owns my 4th iteration of "discard your hand". 0-6
2. Wrath of Pie: Badlands, Mox Ruby, Pardic Dragon, Blackmail
We trade games. 3-3
3. apple713: Mox Sapphire, Mox Sapphire, Tolarian Academy, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
T1 combo trades games with Memnite! 3-3
4. GoblinSmashmaster: Tolarian Academy, Mox Ruby, Memnite, Wheel of Fortune
That's me!
5. Whoshim: Mox Sapphire, Mox Sapphire, Tolarian Academy, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
T1 combo trades games with Memnite! 3-3
6. FTW: Scrubland, Cenn's Tactician, Blackmail, Ghost Quarter
Your 1/1 is better than mine. 3-3
7. H: Angrath's Rampage, Dreadhorde Arcanist, Swamp, Mox Ruby
Your 1/3 outraces my 1/1. 3-3
8. Tylert: Chancellor of the tangle, aether vial, myr superion, deputy of detention
Memnite goes the distance! 6-0

Easily the best CB card from the set.

Are you sure you beat him OTP? Blackmail can't stop his Aether Vial.
I think he wins anyway. Blackmail can take Detention dude, so it is a race between a suspended Dragon and the Myr. The Dragon will have a third counter added to it because Vial gets cast.
T1 - Suspend Dragon // Cast Vial
T2 - Remove counter (2) and cast Blackmail, taking Deputy of Detention // Add counter to Vial (1)
T3 - Remove counter (1) // Add counter (2) play Myr
T4 - Remove counter, cast, swing with +2 firebreathing (6 damage dealt) // Myr swings for 5
So the dragon gets the first hit in. Due to firebreathing, it takes only 4 swings. Also, there is not enough time for the Chancellor to come down with the Vial.
H: (Angrath's Rampage, Dreadhorde Arcanist, Swamp, Mox Ruby)
1. Asthereal (TO): (Snow-Covered Island, Mana Crypt, Show and Tell, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn)
Yeah, I just loose, I'm dumb and made a bad dead. 0-6
2. Wrath of Pie: (Badlands, Mox Ruby, Pardic Dragon, Blackmail)
I can't beat Blackmail. 0-6
3. apple713: (Mox Sapphire, Mox Sapphire, Tolarian Academy, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries)
Nothing for me to do here since Rampage is a Sorcery. 0-6
4. GoblinSmashmaster: (Tolarian Academy, Mox Ruby, Memnite, Wheel of Fortune)
Can't win with no hand and since I am stupid an thought Arcanist had 2 power. 0-6
5. Whoshim: (Mox Sapphire, Mox Sapphire, Tolarian Academy, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries)
Same, again. 0-6
6. FTW: (Scrubland, Cenn's Tactician, Blackmail, Ghost Quarter)
Well, again, since I am stupid an thought Arcanist had 2 power. 0-6
7. H: Bye, myself.
8. Tylert: (Chancellor of the tangle, aether vial, myr superion, deputy of detention)
This one I can actually win, because he can't wait to cast the Vial. On the play I can run out the Arcanist, which is useless, but if Vial isn't played on his trun 1, he can't play it. So in any case, I can Rampage it. 6-0
Indeed, I am dumb and even though I knew that Arcanist had a power of 1, I still thought it was 2...

I expected to see 1 mirror match but from Wrath because I thought he that said he was looking forward to playing with some of the new War of the Spark cards. Also, I was kinda surprise that tolarian academy was unbanned so late in the season.
