4 Card Blind: The Silkster Seasons

[dte]

Happy new year everyone!

I'm the last one so I'll start with the disagreements first for visibility. I think some of you underestimated mayor.

2. dte: Bayou, Grist, the Hunger Tide, Mayor of Avabruck, brain maggot
Goblin smash, then discard 3-3

3. GoblinSmashmaster: Duress, Erayo, Soratami Ascendant, Mana Vault, Empty the Warrens
That's me on Goblins again!!

I think Goblins get smashed. You OTP.
G1: Make 8 gobs and Flip Erayo. You cannot make only 6 gobs to slowdown Mayor flipping, or you lose Erayo and I resolve Mayor + grist.
d1: maggot (countered), mayor.
G2: attack for 8 (d12)
d2: mayor flip, make 1 wolf (2 3/3).
G3: attack for 6 (d6), lose 2 gobs (6 gobs left)
d3: make a wolf. 3 3/3
G4: attack for 3 (d3), 3 gobs remains.

Afterwards, I stay with my wolves and sadistically watch you die from your Mana Vault.
WW 6-0.

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

2. dte: Bayou, Grist, the Hunger Tide, Mayor of Avabruck, brain maggot
I only play hexdrinker if you do nothing. 2 creatures keeps grist under control until I get an 4/4 and leading on creatures is vulnerable to funeral charm removal mode. WW 6-0

You cannot prevent me to resolve and flip mayor.
OTP or OTD, if you did not make me discard 2, I start with brain maggot. If you let it resolve and its ability as well, I take Charm.
You can answer it by making me discard two, or kill maggot. In any case, I will resolve mayor, and it will flip and get unanswered. It does beat Hexdrinker fairly easily, even with Lutri on the side.
If you do not make me discard two, I also have grist.
WW 6-0.


other MUs:

1. silkster: Brain Maggot, Nimble Obstructionist, Ionize, Subtlety
6-0. I had a few Subtlety variants, but never thought of pairing it with nimble obstructionist. Mostly I used restoration angel and 2* blue 1 drop instants.
6

2. dte: Bayou, Grist, the Hunger Tide, Mayor of Avabruck, brain maggot
me, playing a non synergistic midrange deck featuring some of the best remaining cards.

3. GoblinSmashmaster: Duress, Erayo, Soratami Ascendant, Mana Vault, Empty the Warrens
6-0 per above
12

4. FTW: Brainstorm, Violent Outburst, Restore Balance, Shrieking Affliction
0-6. Ballsy to play no protection T0, and very effective against me. Beautiful design too. I would have loved to see it last round when I was playing eldrazi :)
12

5. Asthereal: Barren Glory, Lotus Petal, Lotus Petal, Duress
3-3.
15

6. Wrath of Pie: Eldrazi Temple, Thought-Knot Seer, Thought-Knot Seer, Spell Pierce
6-0. Both mayor or Grist + maggot win.
21

7. jfb1337: Insist, White Plume Adventurer, You See a Guard Approach, Cathedral of War
6-0. Grist or mayor winst this
27

8. Reeplcheep: Lutri, Funeral Charm, Bojuka Bog, Hexdrinker
6-0 per above
33

Overall pretty good (unless I am wrong with my disagreements), but a bit salty as my other deck would have done full sweep except WD vs WoP :/
Always easier to have the right deck afterwards :)

I like the diversity and creativity this round. Most of these cards haven't been played at all this season.

I also think that is quite interesting. To your previous question about number of rounds I would have answered that I prefer short seasons, but this one seem to renew itself pretty well.
