A 3.0 threshold concerns me with mana sources. If we'd had such a threshold for this tournament, we'd likely be very low on, if not completely without any FE/INV saclands, probably very color limited...

Is bad Maze of Ith still reasonably good?

Field of Ruin is on the base ban list too, adding a green mana requirement to make it also a Naturalize isn't clearly making it weaker. Seeing it as practically halfway between two banned cards in...
Just like against my deck, I think the possibility of sacrificing Ruins for 2 Firebrands can draw for Asthereal. If you open with Mentor then Mage, double Firebrand draws. If you make an Elf instead...
WoP could bounce Honor Guard in response to you casting Horror, with the 2 3/3 pro-blacks he'd presumably win. If you refuse to cast Horror he can make plenty of mana to blow up a land and drop his...
7. PJim: Ancient Spring, Bazaar of Baghdad, Priest of Fell Rites, Serra's Emissary
I was really unsure about this, it loses to Gearhulk Welder and Lackey decks, but beats most decks that resist a...
Reckless Waif would lose straight up to Student, and Student loses to Noble. Waif needs to transform before Noble is 4/4 to hold it.
So if Rooster shoots either Noble or Student before either maxx...
I think double Fountain gets you points here. GSM only wins turn 12, which is just enough time to cast Muse twice OTP for 3-3. I don't think there's anything OTD with Magus forcing a goblin to sac,...
But when FTW is on the play he'll bounce Grazer and you'll discard it, along with either Hydra Lair or the mana you need to activate it, so a single 1/1 will be enough. It was a tight call between...

Sorry, late correction
Reeplcheep vs maxx
Drop Everything, 20-16 | Firebrand
Block VV, kill Rootwalla, 20-15 | Student
20-10 | Level 1
20-5 | Level 2
Now Reeplcheep can't profitably...
I don't think you're right on these when on the draw. You do win OTP by forcing the first creature or Furnace to sac. OTD:
Furnace, Welder | Farm
Neonate | Island, Cutpurse
The Titan version...
6. PJim: Volrath's Stronghold, Orzhov Basilica, Necrotic Sliver, Brutal Cathar
Always feels risky not doing anything until turn 3. Very powerful answers though.

I think silkster's results are correct, except vs WoP:
WoP OTP:
Land, Dryads | Mountain, Garg10
20-17, Dryads | Garg9, Dunes, Akki, Sac Dunes, Mountain, Garg7
Dockhand, trade Dryad for both...
Two disagreements.
Pretty sure I'm right vs FTW. Plague Reaver can't win until turn 6, and Heavyweights can land on turn 5 with Rainbow Vale. If Plotter is played it eats Fury and Reaver never...
PJim: Mercadian Bazaar, Fury, Squee, the Immortal, Boldwyr Heavyweights
Running on a bit of a lack of inspiration.

"T: Add one mana of any color. During your next untap step, as you untap your permanents, return Undiscovered Paradise to its owner’s hand."
I'm reasonably sure you're right and it comes back at...
4. PJim: Mercadian Bazaar, Fury, Boldwyr Heavyweights, Bogardan Hellkite
Hellkite looks like a very dubious choice. It was fantastic vs many Rishadan Port decks that were the bane of many Storage...
Not actually a disagreement, but I make this 2-2. Squee can't be cast until turn 5, so Bazaar gets dusted first on play and draw.
Yeah, I missed Grazer's reach, and my analysis has some crucial missing Confluence activations anyway.
I've looked at a bunch of lines, and Reep appears to win 6-0. WoP has a ton of options, but...
7 disputes, though none that look like they can affect bannings:
dte 1 - 6 Reeplcheep
Looks right. Killing Endurance instead of Ramunap is worse, no other obvious tries for improvement.

GSM can hold Stomp to prevent Nexus from winning, and drop Squee as an attacker. I think 0-6.
None of the lands can stop Fiend from winning by itself. I think 6-0.
I know it's irrelevant, but just in case things change:
Mountain, Fanatic | Tar Pit
Nexus | Reef
1poison, 1storage | Pass
2poison, 2storage | Pass
Pass, 3storage
If Nexus animates it'll be...
Alright, I'll grant you that. However, I'm pretty sure I take it against a Mountain (with a Murder) or Swamp (where Shaper lands).
