Thread: 4 Card Blind: Ban-Back Better

    Re: 4 Card Blind: Ban-Back Better

    4 Dogs: Dryad Arbor, Subterranean Hangar, Dark Ritual, Razorlash Transmogrant Notes: N/A
    12/12 goes smashy smashy. I almost played a Dark Ritual this week.
    6-0

    Asthereal: Hickory Woodlot, City of Traitors, Mongrel Pack, Akroan Horse Notes: Four dogs in a pack and four soldiers in a horse suit is as close as I came to your name. :)
    12/12 is too fast, but City of Traitors is bad for me. I'm glad our test round has a duplicate though.
    6-0

    Wrath of Pie: Botanical Sanctum, Force of Will, Sea's Claim, Crashing Footfalls Notes: Can't submit a deck if the comprehensive rules don't define it as one
    Force of Will doesn't hurt me, but Sea's Claim does. If only City of Traitors kept its sacrifice clause!
    0-6

    dte: Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, Chancellor of the tangle, Grief, Aether vial Notes: N/A
    Aether Vial + Tangle is always fun because there are so many ways to fill out the deck.
    6-0

    Silkster: City of Traitors, The Mycosynth Gardens, Phyrexian Dreadnought, Noxious Revival Notes: N/A
    Roar!

    E: Bonus TestUser Testy McGee: Forest, Subterranean Hanger, Dark Ritual, Grief
    Was this added after the fact to make more overlaps so that we'd see it play out more?
    6-0

    24 points against 5 opponents, one overlap, so (24/5)-1 = 3.8 round points, if I understand correctly.

    Asthereal: Hickory Woodlot, City of Traitors, Mongrell Pack, Akroan Horse Notes: Four dogs in a pack and four soldiers in a horse suit is as close as I came to your name. :) - WW
    dte: Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, Chancellor of the tangle, Grief, Aether vial Notes: N/A - WD - Changle stops the test round sweep.
    Silkster: City of Traitors, The Mycosynth Gardens, Phyrexian Dreadnought, Noxious Revival Notes: N/A - WW
    E: Bonus TestUser Testy McGee: Forest, Subterranean Hanger, Dark Ritual, Grief - WW - Might be able to win a game against Boaty McBoatface.

    BTW, my note isn't a joke. (Short version: deck becomes a library, our cards start in hand, so hand is a more appropriate term than deck)

    Re: 4 Card Blind: Ban-Back Better

    Silk and 4dogs do count the duplicate fairly differently, i.e. before and after dividing by the number of players.

    I am very fine with either system.
    In the second case, it is much less impactful, and so not much incentive to build around potential duplicates.

    So I will be honest I did not consider season points when I made the rules.
    For those who do you may want to consider how to apply? This is basically a hyper-gimmick round a year since last season so maybe you want to skip it.

    Re: 4 Card Blind: Ban-Back Better

    A penalty of only a single point seems almost irrelevant. Perhaps a penalty of an entire round point is too severe, but I think it'll do a good job of forcing diversity. It might feel a bit random when you get struck down, but the whole thing is just for fun anyway. What do others think of this?

    Once you decide this, we're ready to start, right? And to confirm, your time zone is Chicago time, which is CST, Central Standard Time, UTC-6.

    OK! Let's start round 1. Deadline is the 11th at 6am my time (chicago)

    submit your lists here!

    Re: 4 Card Blind: Ban-Back Better

    Is the penalty per overlap one match point (the same as you would win for a draw) or one round point?

    Also, I assume that the ban list starts blank (except for Lab Man, Thassa's Oracle, and Jace WoM), but it's good to make sure.

    Question number 3, do we also get a penalty for basic lands, or ate they exempt?

    Imagine a phantom player, who has tied with everyone else this round 0-0-1 except you who they beat 1-0, your score is going to be one point lower than everyone else
    Banned list is blank except as stated in the OP.
    Whatever is banned in legacy, plus thoracle, jace, and labman (etc)

    Here I still don't get it:

    So was Silkster score 3.8 as above, or (24-1)/5=4.6?
    That would lead to two very different decks (or hands) for me.


    Btw, great idea to have the test round :)

    REMINDER!
    You only have the weekend to submit your decks.
    I only have entries from Asthereal and dte

    Pro tip to FourDogs: don't put the entries for the next round on the score spreadsheet

    I think you found a bug in sheets because the entries are supposed to be tied to a spreadsheet only I can see that come directly from the form

    Re: 4 Card Blind: Ban-Back Better

    I.... think I messed up here and got too clever. I switched last minute from City to tomb thinking City would be used first, and also wouldn't let me play the man land after t1. But the damage from tomb makes my deck unable to win games.
    Butttt two of you fell into my trap card!
    Asthreal: Unable to win through leyline. 0-0-2
    Dte: Unable to win through sphere, and I can pay the one before you can cast a spell. 0-0-2
    Wraith of Pie: You can turn my blocker into a swamp and sphere doesn't stop suspend. 0-2
    Silkster: Make the guy a 3/3 and I can't block 0-2.

    0-4-4
    4 points. No dupes
