If you type in ROUND, it will give you the syntax for the function. It takes two values, the first being a value (in our case, a reference to the cell on Round 1 with the corresponding average), and the second value tells it to round to however many decimal places are desired (in our case, 1).Quote:

Asthereal's results for round 2:
1. Asthereal (TO): Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Viscerid Deepwalker, Daze
That's me, stealing tech. :wink:
2. GoblinSmashmaster: Mountain, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Empty the Warrens
OTP I Daze your stuff. OTD I don't and lose to the goblins that smash. 3-3
3. FTW: Island, Desert, Daze, Errant Ephemeron
Dazes don't help. So we'll need to calc the race. See below. 2-2
4. maxx!: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Daze, Sea's Claim
Claim and Daze both don't stop my guys. I have one more guy than you. 6-0
5. alphastryk: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Sea's Claim, Unsummon
Claim doesn't stop my guys. Unsummon only slows me down. I have one more guy than you. 6-0
6. Moosedog: Swamp, Skittering Heartstopper, Skittering Heartstopper, Evil Presence
I Daze the Presence and we trade guys because yours have potential deathtouch. 2-2
7. Wrath of Pie: Snow-Covered Swamp, Corpulent Corpse, Disfigure, Duress
I don't think either of us can attack very well. Two draws for now, but might find different lines here. 2-2
8. H: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Duress, Skittering Skirge
OTP You can Duress first, and cast Ritual into Skirge the turn after. Skirge loses the race though. OTD you are just faster. 3-3
9. silkster: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Sea's Claim, Daze
Claim and Daze both don't stop my guys. I have one more guy than you. 6-0
10. Tylert: Swamp, Skittering Heartstopper, Skittering Heartstopper, Call to the Netherworld
You have 3 potential guys. I have 2, and can stop one of yours. We tarde guys for two draws? 2-2

3. FTW: Island, Desert, Daze, Errant Ephemeron
1. Asthereal (TO): I can't race double Deepwalker so I hold back Ephemeron to draw. DD 2-2
2. GoblinSmashmaster: OTP I Daze your 1st Rite. OTD you get 6 Goblins. Desert kills a few but I still lose. WL 3-3
4. maxx!: OTP and OTD Ephemeron races Deepwalker. We can both pay for Daze, though it reduces you by 1 damage. WW 6-0
5. alphastryk: OTP and OTD Ephemeron races Deepwalker, and I can Daze your Unsummon. WW 6-0
6. Moosedog: OTP and OTD Ephemeron races double Heartstopper. I lead with Desert first to dodge Presence. WW 6-0
7. Wrath of Pie: OTP and OTD Ephemeron races Corpse. You can Duress Daze and Disfigure to slow me down a turn. WW 6-0
8. H: OTP and OTD you can Duress Daze to protect Ritual into Skirge. You could race me, so I hold Ephemeron on defense. DD 2-2
9. silkster: OTP and OTD Ephemeron races Deepwalker. We can both pay for Daze, though it reduces you by 1 damage. WW 6-0
10. Tylert: OTP and OTD Ephemeron races double Heartstopper. WW 6-0
43 points (13 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss)
Looks like I didn't even need my Desert tech for the 2 matchups I feared most.

Can't you draw these by going Swamp -> suspend Corpse? Forget about Duress. You'll end up with an Island, but you can pay for Daze when Corpse resolves. You can't race Deepwalker due to longer suspend, but you can block and trade.Quote:

Wrath vs FTW

F - Attack. You Disfigure me to 2/2 [W=2]
W - Attack for 3 [F=2]
F - Attack for 4 [W=-2]
With suspend 4 you would have had me by 1 turn.
Yeah, there's a pile of stuff banned in constructed Pauper, but we're 4CB and a Bannathon, so I intentionally didn't ban anything from the start. Stuff that's too strong will be out soon anyway.Quote:

2 threats! I can't beat that. LL 0-6
2. GoblinSmashmaster: Mountain, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Empty the Warrens
I don't think I can win here, but lets see. If I'm on the play and suspend my threat turn 1, I get a blocker on my turn 5. I also get to Unsummon 1 of 6 goblins. 5 remaining goblins will still kill me. LL 0-6
3. FTW: Island, Desert, Daze, Errant Ephemeron
Your threat is bigger and you can Daze my Unsummon. LL 0-6
4. maxx!: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Daze, Sea's Claim
Even with my Unsummon, I can't do much before you get your threat back, then we stare at each other. DD 2-2
5. alphastryk: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Sea's Claim, Unsummon
This is me
6. Moosedog: Swamp, Skittering Heartstopper, Skittering Heartstopper, Evil Presence
If either of us ever plays out our land, we lose it. If instead we both play threats we end up in a staring contest anyways. DD 2-2
7. Wrath of Pie: Snow-Covered Swamp, Corpulent Corpse, Disfigure, Duress
It turns out I'm able to race with Unsummon, as FTW calculated below. WW 6-0
8. H: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Duress, Skittering Skirge
Duress take Unsummon, and your threat is better than mine. LL 0-6

So if you attack, I'd take 5, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1. That is only 15. I can't race the last Goblin, so I'd stay back. I can't win, but I don't think you can either.
Corrected both of those, thanks.Quote:

Nice idea! I should have just stuck with what wasn’t broke, ha. 0-6.
That's originally how I thought the match would go, one of the reasons I played Desert. Then I RTFC and saw Desert only kills at the end of combat step. So I take 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 - dead. Desert would have helped in 2 other matchups that never appeared, but turned out to be irrelevant. Unfortunately now it will get banned before anyone gets to use it for something.Quote:

maxx!: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Daze, Sea's Claim
1. Asthereal (TO): Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Viscerid Deepwalker, Daze
sea's claim is a blank and two deepwalkers beats one. nice read. 0-6
2. GoblinSmashmaster: Mountain, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Empty the Warrens
OTP i can daze your rite and you can't ever do anything. OTD you make 6 goblins and i can't race that. 3-3
3. FTW: Island, Desert, Daze, Errant Ephemeron
you can always pay for daze, and i can't race ephemeron. excellent deck. 0-6
4. maxx!: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Daze, Sea's Claim
that's me : ]
5. alphastryk: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Sea's Claim, Unsummon
deepwalker vs deepwalker staring contest. 2-2
6. Moosedog: Swamp, Skittering Heartstopper, Skittering Heartstopper, Evil Presence
OTP i suspend deepwalker. if you ever play your swamp, i daze your play and then claim your land, so you can't ever do anything. OTD you can make a heartstopper, but then i can claim your swamp and suspend deepwalker on my next turn. without the swamp you can't give deathtouch, so deepwalker should win that race. 6-0
7. Wrath of Pie: Snow-Covered Swamp, Corpulent Corpse, Disfigure, Duress
this one is a little bit complicated. OTP i can always daze duress and claim your land, so your only play is suspend. OTD we both suspend, then you can try to duress but it'll get dazed and the swamp claimed. if you lead with duress, you have to take claim or get shut out, so i can daze disfigure. disfigure never works, so that simplifies the matchup to just deepwalker vs corpse. i can't block corpse, but since both threats attack for 3 and mine should come down first every time, it forces you to block and trade. 2-2
8. H: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Duress, Skittering Skirge
OTP i can daze anything you try to do and then claim your swamp. OTD you make a skirge that i absolutely can't race. very cool deck. 3-3
9. silkster: Island, Viscerid Deepwalker, Sea's Claim, Daze
this deck looks familiar. sea's claim is a blank and we can both pay for daze. no matter who can start attacking first, whichever player is losing the race can hold back to block and turn it into a draw. 2-2
10. Tylert: Swamp, Skittering Heartstopper, Skittering Heartstopper, Call to the Netherworld
same as moosedog. OTP i can daze your first heartstopper and shut off your swamp, and OTD i can shut off your swamp before suspending to eliminate deathtouch. 6-0
0+3+0+2+6+2+3+2+6 = 24
well this is embarrassing. i can't read. you're absolutely rightQuote:

Wrath must Duress Sea's Claim first. Then you both suspend your threats. Corpse is a turn slower (suspend 5) but evasive. Is Unsummon on Corpse enough tempo for you to win? It's enough to stop Wrath from racing, but Disfigure prevents 2 damage to slow you down a turn, and when Corpse returns on defense it can force a draw. This needs some math.
Alpha vs Wrath OTP
A - Suspend Deepwalker, 4 counters
W - Duress Sea's Claim
A - 3 counters
W - Suspend Corpse, 5 counters
A - 2 counters
W - 4 counters
A - 1 counter
W - 3 counters
A - Deepwalker attacks for 3. [W=17]
W - 2 counters
A - Attack [W=14]
W - 1 counter
A - Attack [W=11]
W - Corpse stays back to block.
A - Unsummon. Attack for 2 (blue is tapped). [W=9]
W - Suspend Corpse, 5 counters
Deepwalker wins in less than 5 attacks even with Disfigure preventing 2.
Between going first, forcing Wrath to cast Duress before suspending his threat, having shorter suspend, and Unsummon, you buy enough tempo to get enough unblocked attacks.
Alpha vs Wrath OTD
W - Duress Sea's Claim
A - Suspend Deepwalker, 4 counters
W - Suspend Corpse, 5 counters
A - 3 counters
W - 4 counters
A - 2 counters
W - 3 counters
A - 1 counter
W - 2 counters
A - Deepwalker attacks for 3. [W=17]
W - 1 counter
A - Attack [W=14]
W - Corpse stays back to block.
A - Unsummon. Attack for 2 (blue is tapped). [W=12]
W - Suspend Corpse, 5 counters
A - Attack for 3 [W=9]
W - 4 counters
A - Attack for 3 [W=6]
W - 3 counters
A - Attack for 3 [W=3]
W - 2 counters
A - Get Disfigured and attack for 1 [W=2]
W - 1 counter
A - Attack for 3 [W=-1]
You're still just barely fast enough to kill before Corpse comes back.
Wrath should draw the other matches, but Unsummon seals this one for you.
Thanks for running through that, I'll update my results.Quote:

36? Wow, a lot better than I thought I'd do. Skittering Skirge was an old "joke" card I used to run way back when we were cracking packs of Urza's.
