4 Card Blind

[Reeplcheep]

What match-up or math did i get wrong? You said 37 points instead of 35.

Got really stoked about the deck I came up with for this week, double checked the spreadsheet last second and somehow I missed that Peat Bog was banned in season 7. Totally killed the idea. Time to submit some other piece of jank before the manabase gets banned out from under me :D

Yah I lost multiple matches last round because great furnace was banned in season7 :(

That was a pity, it was such a beautiful deck, managing to use well delirium in 4CB...

Losing lands is tough. I had to shelve some ideas in both Pauper and Peasant because of the early loss of Peat Bog. Use the good lands while you can!

This exact thing has happened to me several times. And I don't just mean about cards in general being banned. I mean specifically Peat Bog. Oh, and I see this happened to FTW too. It seems that Black just has so many more goodies than the other colours, as confirmed by its prevalence on the ban list.

You have two draws more than you counted for yourself. The results are correct, and they add up to 37 points.

Question: Are we going by MTGO pauper or paper pauper? Basically do online-only commons count as commons? I didn't see it mentioned in the first post or at the start of seasons 7 or 8.
Related, but entirely irrelevant: Renaissance printings? Not that anyone is likely to include Cosmic Horror in their deck even if there is an uncommon printing in Italian

If a card is common in an official set, it counts as a common.
I usually check Gatherer, and if there's a set mentioned in which the card is common, it counts as common.

I'm not sure which sets are online only. Do you have more examples?
If I check Cosmic Horror, Gatherer says rare in Legends, Fourth and Masters Edition III.

That's interesting that Gatherer doesn't show the Renaissance printing. Here's the scryfall entry: https://scryfall.com/card/ren/52/fr/horreur-cosmique

I think the paper and online versions of Pauper merged together with the larger card pool of the online version, so stuff like Anaba Ancestor that only have paper copies at rare are still playable because of the online common version, here: https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/C...verseid=201315

So, yes to online cards, especially because they're listed as commons on Gatherer. (Shield Sphere was played as a common in round 2.)

It's interesting that Renaissance seems to have uncommons that were never otherwise printed as uncommons, but it has no such commons, so this question didn't have to be answered by any Pauper community. The good thing for us is that Cosmic Horror and its friends are hilariously bad, and I don't think foreign language printings of any other sets changed rarities, so I don't think it matters. But I'm not an expert on this.

There's triskelion that is not bad, but that's it.

Right. Well, I'll stick to the rule that the Gatherer has to show a set where the card is common for it to count as a common.
I think that's the easiest way, as everybody has access to Gatherer, and it's the main source of information from WotC.

Can you confirm you got my resent submission?

Confirmed. I got it just fine.

PS. The PM system isn't great when considering useability and features, but when used correctly it is very reliable.

[Asthereal]

Deadline has passed, but I'm missing two regulars. I'll give you a few more hours.

There is a confirmation feature that you can use to do that yourself.

One down, one to go.

My mistake. Got sidetracked watching election coverage and forgot what day it was. Sending one in the next few minutes.

Why would you hurt yourself by voluntarily watching the U.S. elections?
