After relinquishing hosting duties (except for a wrap-up post that I should write) and starting March break, I'd completely forgotten about time passing on this. Are we starting this week, like in...

I like that you're innovating the structure of the season. I think median scoring is really nice for forgiving missed weeks, illegal entries, or a misunderstood rule. It'll make grand victories a...

I believe we ruled that you couldn't create the infinite drawing loop yourself. So Time Warp that has Epic will not draw the game, but Capture of Jingzhou with Epic does draw the game. The reason was...

You're right about Piracy Charm, but I don't have to be shields down to beat Raze. I can cast Spiritual Visit before casting Moon.

Rishadan Port on City is a good point though. I actually...

Oh, there were tons of better options. I just that that it wouldn't matter and that Sheltered Valley was too boring, so I went with the funny card. I couldn't decide whether to make my land play off...

Weird. I saw the discussion and I'm glad no one is calling for the illegality of a card that Scryfall says is legacy/vintage/commander playable. When I saw BMC a few weeks ago, I actually wondered...

Rooster doesn't have enough mana to play Words of Wilding, then play EE for 2 (cause it has to be 2 different colours) and then crack EE. So you just don't play Energy Field until Rooster has cast...

As far as I can tell, three disagreements remain:

Reeplcheep vs RoosterCocoa: I think this is WD for RoosterCocoa. Keeping Peat Bog to play turn 2 EE on 1, then blow up one or both enchantments...

When I saw that I was losing to your deck, I wondered if I had just chosen the worse version of discard. After Gut Shot + Drill Bit did well enough, I hoped this would too, though I know that a...

Ah, I saw scores of DD and DL, and I could see that alphastryk didn't lose, but forgot to check whether alphastryk actually wins instead. This look right to me. WD for alphastryk.

FTW has DD, and I think that's right. Raze forces out the counter, and then the two 1/1s trade with Path and Recruit. If FTW doesn't expose the land to Raze, you just make the two 1/1s instead.

One disagreement, which is me arguing I do worse than my opponent thought. :(

Yeah, I thought it looked good at a glanceI was actually just looking at an Offer You Can't Refuse + Sprout based deck and noticing that it would have gotten about 4 round points a few rounds ago,...

That was me. The other disagreement was something that I got wrong the first time too. I think once dte sees either RoosterCocoa's post or mine, it will be settled.

In any case, it looks like a...

In my mind, Reality Acid combo and Barren Glory were similar in power and resilience but Reality Acid crushes Barren Glory, so I figured that if anyone played either it would be Reality Acid.

I'm good to organize a season or two. For a moment I was going to say that I'd only do a specific type of season, but then I realized that I'd have the power to choose at that point anyway! Now that...

This was actually my original proposal (or decks scoring strictly greater than 3), but I'm actually really happy with the evolution from round to round. While planning my R8 deck, I did a quick check...

I had this many lists that I was looking at, the only overlap with the banlist is that Lush Growth/Mental Misstep slot. I guess I don't need to brew now, only decide about what I have, which is...
