    Re: 4 Card Blind

    Could we get the updated banlist on the OP?

    I think this one is pretty strong too:

    Mox Sapphire
    Chancellor of the Annex
    Lodestone Golem
    Mishra's Workshop

    Well, welcome to the game; let's go!
    This is also an argument to keep wasteland though (and thoughtseize, and similar)

    For example, my Factory decks survive Thoughtseize just fine and my blossom deck survives wasteland just fine.

    Re: 4 Card Blind

    Is this a Vintage format or a Legacy one? I see people saying Mental fuckup is not on the list, but no shit, it's banned in Legacy. So it need not be on the list if your already limited to the format.

    If your able to play to the Vintage list, well, why not just play on TMD?

    Why does it have to be either?

    Gives you the base list and tone.

    The most broken thing you can do with a Legacy pile likely includes Lotus Petal. Vintage is a very different beast. Totally shifts the tone.

    Re: 4 Card Blind

    For now, most here have assumed we're on Legacy, and I'm expecting to stick to that for season one.
    We could move to Vintage for season 2 if people want (with updated banning list - Lotus and Workshop are too much for sure).
    Or season 2 will be the banathon I hinted at earlier. We can discuss that during the first season.

    I will update the first posts with a new banning list with a few fewer cards, and some more explanation.
    When I'm ready, I will PM myself my first deck, and then post here with the start of the first season.

    PS. I am at work right now, so this may take a while. I have to do everything during breaks.

    You don't post your deck. You PM it to the organizer (me) after he has PM'ed himself his own deck and announced the next round.
    (This because otherwise people can complain that I cheated by meta'ing based on the decks I received).
    After the deadline has passed (and when I find the time), I will post all participating decks in this thread, and we can start figuring out scores.

    And no, we will update the banning list as we go. Might unban more after we start, might ban a few obnoxious things along the way.
    The consensus seems to be that people want less banned cards, and interventions only when proven necessary.

    But the organizer has veto.

    Last note: This thing is open for all, and if you haven't made it for round one, you can enter in a later round. You may need to do some catching up, but it's all for fun anyway.

    Should we be PM-ing you our list now?

    Re: 4 Card Blind

    Hey yo, let's go!

    SEASON 1, ROUND 1 of Legacy FOUR CARD BLIND has started!

    I have PM'ed myself my deck for the round (quickly, it's probably crap, but that's okay).
    So... you can all start PM'ing me your submission for the first round.

    DEADLINE: Wednesday the 20th of February, at 6:00AM Central European Time. (That's my time. Just send me the deck Tuesday evening latest, you'll be fine).

    PLEASE NOTE:
    I have extensively updated the first posts. Be mindful of:
    - The way you send your deck to me, so it doesn't cost me an hour of editing before I can post all the decks I receive.
    - The updated banning list. I dropped a few cards, but there's still quite the pile of banned stuff!
    (Yes, the list is open for discussion. No, not for round 1, and probably also not for round 2. We'll see how it goes first.)

    After the deadline has passed, I will post all decks on the forum here, and you can start puzzling out your scores.
    I took a week per round. I hope I can keep it up, otherwise we may need to go to one round per two weeks, or I may need help from others here.
    I will try to start round 2 quickly after decks for round 1 are posted, but I can't promise anything, because I also need time to design my own deck.
    And I have a job and stuff.

    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.

    Happy deck designing everybody!


    EDIT: First decks are coming in.

    Re: 4 Card Blind

    This is going well! So far, we have 11 participants.

    Two more have tried, but sent in illegal decks.
    Check the banned list, please. It's in the 2nd post.

    I wasn't going to name any names, but...

    And we're at 12 people. I've added the user names to the ranking in the first post.
    When the first round decks are up, we'll figure out who wins what, and I'll adjust the ranking when all scores are cross-checked.

    Maybe in a few rounds. Let's see what round one does first.

    The main reason: what do you do when your opponent decides not to play anything?
    Also, it loses to Mishra's Factory + other land, and Taiga, 3x Kird Ape.
    So when you sport this deck, all you can expect is draws and losses.

    Man, it can't suck more than mine :)
    But look at it this way: with the examples posted in this thread, people have seen that some decks are going to be strong. So they will metagame it. And it's probable that your crappy deck will be good vs their deck.

    Mine is stupid and will loose to non sense like small pox. but it will probably win vs any deck that try to beat smallpox decks :)

    Wow, this is going much better than I had hoped for!
    We're at 17 participants already, and the submissions aren't even open for 24 hours yet.

    Thanks for joining, everybody.

    If you fear your deck is bad, don't worry. After a few rounds you'll get the hang of it.
    And even the better 4CB players will sometimes just get wrecked by clever meta anticipation.
