4 Card Blind: The Silkster Seasons

[silkster]

Wow, y'all aimed low!

Reeplcheep: Leyline of Anticipation, Black Lotus, Black Lotus, Covetous Urge,
dte: Codie, Vociferous Codex, Leyline of the Guildpact, Coalition Victory, Saprazzan Cove,
FTW: Leyline of the Guildpact, Rushwood Grove, Upwelling, Coalition Victory,
Silkster: Darksteel Citadel, Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Blackmail, Corrupt Zendikon,
GoblinSmashmaster: Black Lotus, Black Lotus, Auriok Salvagers, Rise of the Hobgoblins,
Wrath of Pie: Icatian Store, Archangel Elspeth, Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis, Elspeth's Talent,


dte's clock I count to be 5 turns to play the Codex, then 8 turns to play the victory for 13 turns.
I think FTW misread Coalition Victory and didn't include a creature.
Archangel Elspeth hits for 3, 5, 5, 7 on the four turns after it comes down, so it wins on turn 10.

I think the toughest calculation is Silkster vs Elspeths. Blackmail hits the Archangel, otherwise it can block forever. Elspeth waits until turn 8 to make Sun's Nemesis with 2 charge counters remaining, then is able to make 4 blockers and buy enough time to play the Talent, which immediately takes over the game. WW for Elspeths.

It looks like Covetous Urge is lower of the two median decks. I had been thinking that I might need to veto a deck that often can't win, but it doesn't really matter that much. Your submission needs to 6-0 against turn 0 discard. That's definitely not hard to do, but it does put a heavy restriction on what's legal.

You sure you want the winner of a backbuild round to be something we have to lose to?

I think so. It'll be a challenge to build under such a low ceiling. I'm at least excited to see what comes of it.
