I updated the post and the spreadsheet. I may have things wrong but I had several disagreements that should get another eye.

8. Reeplcheep: Lutri, Funeral Charm, Bojuka Bog, Hexdrinker
I had 0 inspiration so I just played t0 discard.

1. silkster: Brain Maggot, Nimble Obstructionist, Ionize, Subtlety
Disagreement, you...

No I’ve basically quit magic.

I think other people have tried this

He was pointing out the line where you play out the petals and glory and then stack the triggers so that you win before you lose. But you can’t get the win trigger if you still have duress in your...

I did miss that lotus petal and barren glory are castable. But how does he get rid of the duress?

4. Reeplcheep:Forbidden Orchard, Sudden Substitution, Intervention Pact, Abeyance
I hoped people might ignore orchard after several poor showings. And also that no one submits banned cards.

1....

A resolved nils is an eligible target for substitution with a pact. Jfb can make a creature to trade with the thoughtseize while thoughtseize is on the stack.


Yes I missed that, I would have to...

I think you are under estimating how good uncounterably stealing either thoughtseize or Nim is. If you’re OTD, Jfb goes paradise pass. If you lead on thoughtseize, he steals it and now you have to...

It seemed to me that discard and t1 combo were best, so I went with t0 combo.


1. silkster: Thoughtseize, Negate, Strip Mine, Nils, Discipline Enforcer
I’m not fast enough to get through all the...

How do wishes, that wish eldrazi, and lessons work in 4CB?

I agree with dooey on the pump line. WL

I agree that dogs can stabilize when I’m OTD. when I’m OTP I get 12 extra damage in (one attack from going first and another from wasting a draw to get the...

5. Reeplcheep: Oko, Thief of Crowns, Imp’s Mischief, Grief, Malakir Rebirth
I didn’t want to have to think about layers with tabernacle and Leyline of singularity so I waited on oko until now.

1....

My explanation is why it is WW not WL, assuming r answers Liberator. The first 2 sentences of dopey's are still correct if r doesn't answer Liberator.

Yes I thought the cycle was XU not X1U

Working out the disagreements:


Isn’t 9 mana a 6/6 shark and you only need a 5/5?
S, etb tapped G quagnoth
S add a counter G smashes to 16
S add a counter G smashes to 12
S add a counter G...

Some additional wrinkles for the above:
Even with city dte can’t blackmail and Power sink x>5.

Costing dte 3 mana by casting sigarda into power sink is better than holding karakas up.

10. Reeplcheep: Elite Spellbinder , Fountain of Cho, Consign // Oblivion , Chancellor of the Annex

Since a lot of the non-banned decks were discard based I tried a tax/midrange strategy.

1....

A bit late since I didn’t realize failure to comply was banned. Sent

I still think you can win after show and tell if you stack it right.

Show and tell, put in hive mind.
Cast pact, trigger, copy pact.
Rooster must offer his own pact here, trigger. Before your...

Autumns veil is not veil of summer, so I don’t think it should be replaced with a Forest.

I believe DTE should also beat Rooster OTP by changing the target of offer to imp’s mischief. Veil doesn’t do anything to prevent this and this stops it from countering S&T or making green mana as...

Solitude and chancellor seemed like the best package left, so of course I overcompensated. I still think instant speed discard is great.

11. Reeplcheep: Tourach, Dread Cantor, Chancellor of the...

You can always solitude exiling chancellor plus counterspell in every subgame, so the most he can steal is smiter. If he tries to win you solitude smiter and counter what ever spell he pushes...

Smiter plus your hand doesn’t beat asthereal, since esg plus counterspell is 5 mana vs chancellor tax and counterspell.
