Same. I noticed the rule on automated deadlines, but I did keep checking here for some sort of initial announcement confirming:
-the final set of rules used (as there was much rules discussion...

Congrats dte on a strong season win!
Also congrats to silkster for not punting any rounds, making it hard to close the gap!

Thanks Asthereal for smoothly organizing such a fun game for 12...

Agree. In this format too many defensive cards don't work at all if you don't allow infinite loops sustained by 1 player. Or what about when you draw by "do nothing"? You should not be forced to...

I get the opposite result.

J: Cast Seal of Fire
A: Attack with 1/1 (can't use Pendelhaven on attack). J does nothing.

J: Untap all lands and do nothing.
A: Attack with 1/1
After combat,...

11. FTW: Ruins of Trokair, Swamp, Castigate, Curse of Leeches

I've had this deck for a while with T2 Vindicate, but both Peat Bog and Remote Farm were banned before I was ready to play it. This...

T1 land
T1 land, 1/1 [s=19]

T2 Port
T2 upkeep Port City [S=18], 1/1 attacks [R=19]

The 1/1 loses this race.

I should have explained this better before.

Rishadan Port on City of Brass races the 1/1 Spirit.

Silkster will die to Port unless proactively casting Alpine Moon on Port. Also, it must happen...

Rooster can use Port to tap you out of City of Brass every turn (1 damage!), which can threaten to race your 1/1.

To prevent that, you need to proactively cast Alpine Moon.

Rooster OTP
T1...

I'm surprised no one else thought to use Raze with more than a 1-drop before. This would have scored 48 points last week.
Still did pretty well this week despite 3 AngelPacts.

Strip Mine would have been better than Rishadan Port.

Still, OTD Port stops you from casting Paradox Zone for the draw. Should WD 4-1.

I thought about playing Culling the Weak this week but I...

11. FTW: Khalni Garden, Colossus Hammer, Plains, Sigarda's Aid

Shamelessly stole this T2 deck that plays around some hate.

1. Asthereal (TO): My clock is a turn faster. WW 6-0
2. dte: OTP I...

dte's score should be lower and closer to RoosterCocoa's, I think. dte's post was never edited to fix the disagreement with GoblinSmashmaster. Meanwhile GoblinSmashmaster's post above has 38 points,...

9. FTW: Oboro, Palace in the Clouds, Darksteel Citadel, Convincing Mirage, The Blackstaff of Waterdeep

I had this with Rise and Shine a few rounds ago, the same round Rise got banned. Mirage would...

I agree with silkster. The sacrifice is not optional. Cruel Reality appears to be the best in the mirrors. Should be
DD 2-2 vs dte
WW 6-0 vs Rooster

11. FTW: Breeding Pool, Piracy Charm, Dismember, Sprout

With little time I just submitted a variation of my last deck. Again, I metagamed against the deck I wanted to play instead of playing it. I...

Sorry, forgot the day, submitting something now.
I kept checking the thread earlier but the round was never posted. Forgot to check yesterday.

I'm late to reply, but yes, it should be DD 2-2 vs alphastryk.

I never have to tap lands before opponent's end step, so I can always hold up Offer for sorcery speed cards.

My threat had to be...

Double counter seemed really bad OTD. Even OTP Offer gives them more mana to play a 2nd thing while you're tapped out, so the 2nd Offer fails terribly. One of the cards needs to answer a resolved...

You're correct. I forgot that the tapped artifact land doesn't actually slow down this deck by 1 turn, and that you can main phase Pact before I play a land. Edited above.
Ironically I selected my...

Welcome to our group. Nice showing!
Was the deck you saw my Engineered Explosives + Arcbound Ravager deck from a past season?

I've been afraid to play a similar Academy Ruins deck due to...

9. FTW: Tundra, An Offer You Can't Refuse, Path to Exile, Recruit the Worthy

1. Asthereal (TO): I can counter 1 Pact, Path the 2nd token, and make a 1/1.
Edit: I needed more sleep before...

It's funny because I played Crack over Raze for that reason, but Raze instead of Crack would be an extra WW vs Asthereal and you. I expected Raze to be worse this round.

With CtE I picked Gideon...

Interesting. Editing above result.



This one's different from the others because I only need 2 cards. I play out Mountain, don't Crack, then build towards Gideon. You can safely Smallpox and...

Interesting. Since Energy Field is an old card, I thought it had errata. Token death normally triggers a "when ~ goes to the graveyard". They first go to the graveyard then get exiled. But I can't...

If you make 2 2/2s, Crack kills 1 and Gideon beats the other 2/2.

Gideon +1s 1000 times to get very high loyalty while the 2/2 deals no damage.
Then Gideon makes an emblem.
Then Gideon starts...
