Asthereal results for round 8:
1. Asthereal: that's me, #bansoldevisentry: Mishra's Factory, Wasteland, Soldevi Sentry, Ratchet Bomb
2. Wrath of Pie: Analysis below, but I think this'll be a 4-1.
3. Whoshim: Waste the Needle, Sentry attacks for 20 turns. 6-0
4. H: Either Bomb kills Ashling or Sentry blocks it forever. If you let me Bomb Ashling, I have two guys left against one Rampage, so you Rampage bomb for two draws? 2-2
5. GoblinSmashmaster: I can't cast Bomb and you can't get past Sentry. 2-2
6. Tylert: OTP Bomb is in time to kill Vial FTW. OTD you get Superion down, I still kill Vial but have to eternally block Superion with Sentry FTD. 4-1
7. FTW: You can't let me have Bomb or I kill your only threat. I play around Push to make sure I have double regen for Sentry for the eternal block. Two draws. 2-2
8. apple713: Bomb kills wurms just in time. I meta'd against my own combo deck from last round. 6-0
Total: 26 points ...Will it be enough to #bansoldevisentry? :cool:
Analysis
vs. Wrath:
OTP I go Factory>Sentry. If you Inquisition, I Waste your land and Sentry wins. If you play a creature, I get Bomb down, and Bomb deals with Halbedier. I think I win both ways.
OTD you can Inquisition Bomb, but I get to Waste your land and we draw. If you open with suspending Halbedier, I play Sentry, which can eternally block.
You can't allow me to have the Bomb, because it kills Halbedier and my guys are better than your Noble, so I think you have to go for the draw here.
So: a win for me and a draw.
vs. FTW:
OTP I go Factory>Sentry. If you Push Sentry, I get Bomb down and win. So you Inquisition Bomb away, and I have to keep mana open for regenerating Sentry for the eternal block.
OTD you go Inquisition Bomb, I play land and do nothing. You play Sadist. I play 2nd land, cast Sentry, keep mana open for regen. I still reach the eternal blockade.
So: two draws here.
That's cool. I was busy this morning anyway, so I had the time to give you a chance to still send something in. :smile:
Also, get well soon!
7. FTW: Snow-Covered Swamp, Inquisition of Kozilek, Fatal Push, Cruel Sadist
1. Asthereal: At worst I can force this into 2 draws by discarding Ratchet Bomb and using the threat of Fatal Push to make you keep up regeneration mana and never activate Factory. DD 2-2.
2. Wrath of Pie: OTP T1 Sadist. If you Inquisition Fatal Push, I Inquisition Noble; if you play Noble, I Fatal Push it. Either way I can answer Noble. You suspend Keldon with 4 counters. I make Sadist 2/2. 3 counters. Sadist is 3/3. 2 counters. Sadist is 4/4. 1 counter. I hold. Keldon resolves. You can't attack because I can block and grow to 5/5. I grow him to 7/7 (me at 14). Then I can attack you 3 times FTW and you can't attack back fast enough. OTD you Inquisition Sadist and my other cards can't touch Keldon. WL 3-3.
3. Whoshim: OTP or OTD I Inquisition Genesis Chamber. 1/1 Sadist gets there while Norin flickers a lot. WW 6-0.
4. H: OTP or OTD I Inquisition Rampage, Fatal Push the Pilgrim if you ever tap out for it, and win with Cruel Sadist. WW. 6-0
5. GoblinSmashmaster: OTP I Inquisition Thalia. I can pay the upkeep for Sadist and win as a 1/1. OTD you can play turn 1 Thalia to shut off my spells, but then you lose Tabernacle so I can grow Sadist to a point where I outrace you. WW 6-0
6. Tylert: OTP I Inquisition Aether Vial and win easily. OTD Vial comes out first. I play Sadist, Inquisition Deputy, Fatal Push the Myr if you play it, and can grow Sadist to 7/7 before Chancellor kills me leading to a draw. WD. 4-1
8. apple713: OTP I Inquisition SSG instead of Flash, for the lulz. OTD I Fatal Push a wurm and die to the other 2. WL. 3-3.
30 points (9 wins, 3 draws)

8. apple713: Flash is not banned??? 0-6 --> 12
Total = 12 :)
Nope. Both Flash decks failed to accumulate enough points to get banned last round. :tongue:
But I think Flash will be gone after this round.
EDIT: Someone entered Whoshim's score in the Google sheet as two wins against H, but unfortunately, I don't see that happening.
However awesome the Genesis Chamber + Norin the Wary deck is, Angrath kind of destroys the chamber, and I think Ashling will grow bigger than Norin.
I'm really sorry about the Norin deck getting stomped on like this, because it's by far the most interesting thing I've seen so far. :frown:
OTP or OTD Angrath can only kill a Myr token, which is both an artifact and creature.
H - Mountain
Who - Needle
H - Swamp, Ashling
Who - Norin
H - Casting Angrath now would be futile (Norin disappears). Ashling +1 counter, attack for 2.
Who - Cast Chamber. Norin flickers. EOT returns. 1 Myr token.
H - Angrath. Whether he chooses creature or artifact, Who can sac a Myr token. Norin flickers. EOT Norin returns. 1 Myr token.
Who - Attack with Norin. He flickers before blockers. EOT returns. 2nd Myr token.
From here on, Whoshim gets +1 Myr each of his turns by attacking with Norin. Ashling also grows by 1 each turn. If Ashling attacks, Norin flickers and Whoshim also gets a Myr on H's turn (+2 Myrs per turn cycle), so he can eternally chump Ashling and still grow by +1 Myrs per cycle. If Ashling doesn't attack, Whoshim still grows by +1 Myrs per cycle (from attacking with Norin). Either way his army grows. Eventually he turns 21 Myrs sideways and wins.
The Norin deck is really interesting and should have won more matches in a different field. It's Bitterblossom on steroids, making a token army while also infinite chumpblocking and never hurting your life total. It just gets wrecked by LD, discard and fast combo.
1. Asthereal: LL - confirmed
2. Wrath: WL - inquisition:( - confirmed
3. Whoshin: WW - wurms trample
4. H: WW - too fast for you and I’ll have 2 wurms after sacrifice
5. Goblin: DL - confirmed
6. Tylert: WW - confirmed
7. FTW: WL - inquisition:( - confirmed
25 points (8 wins 1 draw)
Last minute submission did alright today
Or vialed in deputy of detention :)
@WHoshim: By the way, why playing a second Norin the wary? anyway, he can't win alone so you have to play norin and chamber to get the combo going on and any discard will take chamber and you loose anyway. Something like gutshot would have been better no?
Right, I missed this line. I'll adjust.
Yeah, his land only has two counters on it, so recasting Norin2 after Norin1 dies isn't an option, unfortunately.
So I guess you're right, Gut Shot would have been a better choice. Or Wasteland. Or something else that costs no mana.
Sorry guys, I'm traveling at the moment, but it looks like my deck predictably sucked. I too thought Flash was banned already.
I'm also traveling, but I will try to get to it later. For right now, it looks like I lose most stuff anyway. However, I thought that Norin would work a little differently than people here have seen it, so maybe I was wrong. I thought the following:
T1 - Land
T2 - Cast Genesis Chamber
T3 - Cast Norin1, Genesis Chamber makes Norin1 exiled with a Myr token, Cast Norin2, Genesis Chamber makes Norin2 exiled with a Myr Token. End step: Norin1 and Norin2 triggers go on the stack. Norin1 trigger causes Norin1 to enter, GC triggers, making a Myr, triggering Norin1 to be exiled again. Then Norin2's trigger will resolve, making a Myr, exiling Norin2.
So I get 4 1/1 Myr the first turn I cast Norins. Then I get 2 Myr each turn after that.
Norin exiles upon "cast spell" and "attack", not token ETBs.
T3 - Cast Norin1. Norin ETB. Genesis trigger: create Myr token. Cast Norin2. Norin1 triggers and exiles. Norin2 resolves and ETB. Genesis trigger: create Myr #2. Norin2 stays on the board (no more spells and nothing can attack). Go to End Step. Norin1 ETB. State-based effect: Legend rule kills one of the Norins. Then Genesis trigger: create Myr #3. End turn.
The surviving Norin stays on the field when opponent untaps, until he attacks or casts a spell. On your turn you can just attack with Norin to exile himself and get +1 Myr token. On opponent's turn if he does nothing then Norin does not exile and you get no tokens. If opponent attacks, then Norin exiles and on the end step you get +1 Myr token.That means each enemy attack nets you a free token, so you can either chump block for eternity or amass enough tokens to gangblock and kill it.
Unfortunately you can't keep both Norins beyond that first turn, so Norin2 only gets you +1 token and would be better as a different card.
If Norin triggered off ETB instead of "cast" then you would beat TylerT: Norin would duck out Detention Dude and survive, and you would generate extra Myrs when he Vials things in. Unfortunately Vial gets around Norin's trigger and makes things awkward for your deck.
And anyway, you can't cast Norin 1 + Norin 2 + Genesis chamber... you only can cast two of these with Sandstone needle.

Four more rounds! Time for the next one. :smile:
Round 9 of 4CB Season 2, the Vintage Bannathon, has started!
I have PM'ed myself my deck for round 9, so you can start sending me your decks.
You will find standings for round 8 and new bannings based on results from round 8 in the Google Spreadsheet, or in the post above, or in the first two posts of the thread.
(If scores change still, I will adjust everything accordingly. NOTE: If scores do change, this might affect bannings. Again.)
DEADLINE FOR ROUND 9: WEDNESDAY the 12th of June, at 6:00AM Central European Time.
(That's my time. Just send me the deck Tuesday evening latest, you'll be fine.)
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: Goblin Guide, Mogg Fanatic, Pithing Needle, Cavern of Souls (so with card tags around each card, and not above eachother), with your Username and 4CB S02R09 in the topic. Most of you already do this. Thanks a lot, this really saves me the time and hassle of copying and pasting text and tags!
- The banned list (you'll find it in the second post and in the Google Spreadsheet). So keep an eye on what you send in.
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, the Google Spreadsheet has been updated: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Happy deck designing everybody! :cool:
Fun facts:
- FTW continues to close the gap to first place, and is now only 1,3 season point behind apple713.
- (Okay, this is actually a sad fact.) Whoshim's creative awesomeness cost him two places in the season ranking, dropping to 6th. :frown:
- My #banthalakoslowlands may have failed last round, but apple713 came to the rescue, completing it for this round.
- Also, #bansoldevisentry #overpowered #whosnext
Deadline has passed, but I'm missing a deck from one of the regulars.
I can give him/her 4 more hours, as I'm at work and need to do some things. :cool:
One of the regulars hasn't been able to send in a deck (sad, as it concerns our tournament leader), even after 12 extra hours, so it's time to post what we have:
DECKS FOR ROUND 9 OF THE VINTAGE BANNATHON
1. Asthereal (TO): Hammerheim, Inkmoth Nexus, Blazing Shoal, Greater Gargadon
2. GoblinSmashmaster: The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Field of Ruin, Scalding Tongs

4. Whoshim: Sandstone Needle, Genesis Chamber, Norin the Wary, Leyline of Vitality
5. FTW: Swamp, Divest, Dismember, Hired Poisoner
6. H: Mountain, Swamp, Ashling the Pilgrim, Angrath's Rampage

Please post your scores and cross-check with the opponents.
I'll update the Google Spreadsheet for the season, so you can enter your scores there as well: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Note for the Bannathon:
With 7 participants, the top 3 scoring decks for this round will be banned.
So if you want to start brewing for round 10 already, keep that in mind.
Asthereal scores for round 9 (#banhammerheim #overpowered):
1. Asthereal (TO): that's me, sporting more combo because I can: Hammerheim, Inkmoth Nexus, Blazing Shoal, Greater Gargadon
2. GoblinSmashmaster: Nacle doesn't hurt me, Field is a turn too late, so I get to combo. 6-0
3. Wrath of Pie: My choice for Gargamel as pitch card pays off here. Raze is dangerour, so OTP I suspend Gargamel for a win. OTD you Divest Gargamel, suspend Giant and then Raze Inkmoth. 3-3
4. Whoshim: Your land is a bit too slow. Mountain and Quicksand over Leyline and Needle would have given you points here (T1 Norin, T2 Chamber + make 1/1 flyer). 6-0
5. FTW: Dismember foils my Inkmoth plan, so I have to go Gargamel again. OTP suspend Gargamel, staredown with Poisoner. OTD Divest gets Gargamel, Dismember gets Nexus and I lose. 1-4
6. H: Rampage is still a sorcery, which is unfortunate. I get to combo out. 6-0
7. Tylert: This deck is still somewhat slow against combo. 6-0
Total: 28 points
3. Wrath of Pie: Undiscovered Paradise, Ivory Giant, Raze, Divest
1. Asthereal (TO): Hammerheim, Inkmoth Nexus, Blazing Shoal, Greater Gargadon WL
2. GoblinSmashmaster: The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Field of Ruin, Scalding Tongs DD - Oddly enough, I can actually beat Tabernacle thanks to your Urborg, but it also means Field of Ruin can force the draw.
4. Whoshim: Sandstone Needle, Genesis Chamber, Norin the Wary, Leyline of Vitality WW
5. FTW: Swamp, Divest, Dismember, Hired Poisoner DD
6. H: Mountain, Swamp, Ashling the Pilgrim, Angrath's Rampage WW
7. Tylert: Chancellor of the tangle, Aether vial, Myr superion, Deputy of detention WL
6w4d = 22
Ivory Giant should have been Crashing Footfalls from Modern Horizons, cost myself a few points because of it.
FTW: Swamp, Divest, Dismember, Hired Poisoner
1. Asthereal (TO): OTP T1 Divest Gargadon, T2 Poisoner, then Dismember beats Inkmoth. OTD you suspend Gargadon, I play Poisoner, and I can beat your threats but can't kill you. WD 4-1
2. GoblinSmashmaster: OTP and OTD I Divest Scalding Tongs. You turn my Swamp into a Swamp, Field of Ruin still can't kill it, and Poisoner gets there. WW 6-0
3. Wrath of Pie: OTP I Divest Giant and you Raze me. OTD if you suspend Giant I play Poisoner (to eventually trade), and if you Divest me I Divest you. DD 2-2
4. Whoshim: OTP and OTD I Divest Norin before you can cast him. Poisoner slowly picks away at you. WW 6-0
6. H: OTP and OTD I Divest your Pilgrim, but you can kill my Poisoner. DD 2-2
7. Tylert: OTP I Divest Aether Vial, then kill you with Poisoner. OTD you get Vial out first. I Divest Deputy, Dismember Myr Superion, and then trade Poisoner with Chancellor. WD 4-1
24 points (6 wins, 6 draws, 0 losses)
You might be surprised to find out that Myr Superion is a 5/6, so Dismember does nothing against it except make it a 0/1 for a turn. That does mean that it can't attack into Hired Poisoner, but the solution to that is simple enough: Vial in Changle, attack with that and force the trade with Poisoner, and then start the Myr Superion beatdown.
GoblinSmashmaster scores for Round Ban Shoal
