6-0, unblockable Arbor too fast

Reeplcheep: Inkmoth Nexus, Ancient Den, Glimmervoid, Rancor, comment: Ink-redibly fast
6-0, poison too fast

Wrath of Pie: Lotus Bloom, Lotus Bloom, Wild Evocation, Furnace Dragon, comment:
0-6, EE on 0 catches the Blooms, but I think Ratchet Bomb on 0 also catches the Blooms, so maybe not legal?

Tirrit: Memnite, Lotus Petal, Vesuva, Caustic Wasps, comment: Here's hoping for no charge/sol lands!
0-6, Vesuva is very cute

FTW: Teferi's Isle, Gut Shot, Tomb Trawler, Chronomaton, comment: Slow copy
0-6, you played a 2-drop and a 1-drop :( If only I'd played Blinkmoth Nexus.

GoblinSmashmaster: Dwarven Hold, Hearth Charm, Flamebreak, Goblin Cannon, comment: Bazaar banned!
2-2, Dwarven Hold is bad, y'all. I considered Stalking Stones to be vulnerable to Dwarven Hold with Hearth Charm or Molten Frame, but I didn't like that it lost the mirror.
Wait, I don't need my creature to die to Hearth Charm. You can just ignore it and kill me with 44 mana on turn 46, cause I don't kill until turn 61.
6-0
Double wait. I attack every third turn, but it's every third turn for 2.
2-2

Silkster: Saltcrusted Steppe, Mishra's Foundry, Engineered Explosives, Isolate, comment: floor is so hard to beat!

The perfect 50/50 again!

This week was tough. I I had some time to think about it early, and I pretty quickly came to this deck after considering a turn-1 4/4 artifact flyer.


Now is probably a good time to reflect on the season. I was quite happy that we had powerful floor decks and mediumly powerful ceiling decks. Each round I felt like I had room to brew and that I didn't know what other people would play. I was worried that there would be too many copycats, but so many effects are nearly unique, and the restriction that you had to lose OTP or win OTD meant that you had to be a step away from the floor/ceiling.

I wonder where we want to go next. I realize now that the ceiling/floor structure can replace banathon, so we could rehash old banathon seasons as ceiling/floor seasons, like pauper or creatures+lands only.
