I didn't want to generate a "get-off-the-boat" movement so I kept my mouth shut until now, but albeit I had great fun last time, I won't be part of this season.

The reason is quite simple: I could...

No:
I curve T2 Skite into T3 cast Shadow, hold priority, activating N times Spellskite's ability on the Death's Shadow spell itself, losing 2N life.

You need any spell, activated or triggered ability for this to work. The beauty of the trick is the activated or triggered ability itself does not need to even have a target.

1. Asthereal (TO): Swamp, Blinkmoth Nexus, Inquisition of Kozilek, Bitterblossom
Heh, I was afraid of exactly this deck. I really thought about submitting this, but it kinda seemed loose in the IoK...

A way less convincing round than the previous one. I overlooked how much Vicious Rumors would see play and for some reason thought that Assassin's Trophy couldn't destroy basic lands (actually the...

1. Asthereal (TO): Blooming Marsh, Greenbelt Rampager, Greenbelt Rampager, Fatal Push
OTD T1 Land, E=1 / Cradle + Pyramid (brick=0)
T2 E=2 / Cradle#2, brick=1
T3 Greenbelt / brick=2
T4 swing, E=1...

Heeeere we go for another "Deathtouch vs fatties" round. Yet again, I'm on the fat side: any resemblance with me is purely coincidental.

1. Asthereal (TO): Forest, Gnarlwood Dryad, Loam Dryad,...

A bit late for the submission, a bit late for the analysis, real life has been keeping me busy lately. I owe you all an apology, especially to Asthereal who's doing an awesome job at entertaining us...

I have overlooked the fact that Overseer does also grow tokens.
I'm 0-6 in both matches, correcting.

Asthereal (TO): Jungle Hollow, Swamp, Druid of the Cowl, Rotting Regisaur
Unfortunately, my Raptor is a point of damage shy of killing Cowl. 2-2

Wrath of Pie: Foundry of the Consuls, Mage-Ring...

I'm playing Cackler and not Drainpipe. The extra P/T doesn't matter a whole lot for me there, but the discard from Drainpipe offers you extra opportunities to trigger Affliction, which I can't...

Unlif3's results for round "Afflictions & trading wins galore":

1. Asthereal (TO): Godless Shrine, Dryad Militant, Dutiful Thrull, Shrieking Affliction
Whoever is OTP wins. 3-3
2. Wrath of Pie:...

Ah, that's interesting, didn't think about that line.
It does change our outcome but unfortunately for me... not the other Mayor matches for they have a dork in Pilgrim.

@H: I have overlooked the...

1. Asthereal (TO): Forest, Ghost Quarter, Young Wolf, Mayor of Avabruck
See Asthereal's post for correction. 2-2
2. square_two: Ghost Quarter, Forest, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Mayor of Avabruck

Hah, I was one goddamn Hawk away from the clean sweep anyhow. :(
Thanks a lot for the calculations, I can't ever wrap my head around that kind of shit.

This is unfortunately untrue. Melira is asymmetrical and that's why it was so good in this round.



Therefore, the earlier I block the Hawk, the sooner it gets a -1/-1, diminishing significantly...

1. Asthereal (TO): Inkmoth Nexus, Forest, Ezuri's Archers, Mutagenic Growth
Melira shuts Nexus down and has a nice Grizzly Bear body which is a bit too much for your Archers to handle : WW 6-0.
2....

1. Asthereal (TO): Swamp, Quicksand, Inquisition of Kozilek, Guul Draz Assassin
I overlooked this. 0-6.

2. Tylert: Swamp, Quicksand, Inquisition of Kozilek, Guul Draz Assassin
I also overlooked...

1. Asthereal (TO): Bone Saw, Bone Saw, Bone Saw, Salvage Titan
Double block for a double draw. 2-2.
2. Unlif3: Plains, Island, Meddling Mage, Deft Duelist
That's me :)
3. Wrath of Pie: Plains,...

Woop woop. :cool:

Be careful lads, I have more or less understood how to play Magic and I'll be there from round 1 this time. Watch out.

Props to FTW for their calculations :'D

Same, had no time to craft a deck yet, will submit one soon(tm).

As far as the votes are concerned... B2 for me. Blocks keep this thing fresh to me.

Playing the exact same deck as Asthereal, my total points should amount to 24 as well.

GG Gobbo for a solution I found quite elegant.

I've been unfortunately busy lately and can't take the time yet to compute my own scores. I'll do this as soon as possible. :frown:

I'm in for GQ to stay - it's there for a round, not for three months.
Yes, the card is Strip Mine. You could also decide to bite the bullet, lose to it and prey on decks that play around it.
