Return of the MTG: Vanishing Three Card Blind - Once upon a time there was a 3CB

[Tom the Mime]

Getting close to the deadline but it's being extended because so far only 2 decks have been submitted.

What deadline? I don't think you ever told us what the deadline was. And to what is it extended.

[Tom the Mime]

Sorry, deadline was going to be a week, same as last time.

I sent mine, or at least I think so.

[Tom the Mime]

Yep. Got that one. Had one more submission since the extension but that still means we're just at 3.

[Tom the Mime]

Up to 4 now. If/when we get to 5, I'll close submissions and post the decks.

[Tom the Mime]

Had another one come in so here are the round 32 decks

Bucky: Swarm Shambler, Evil Presence, Llanowar Wastes
Laughing Dog: Swamp, Cauldron Familiar, Witch's Oven
TiaC: Swamp, Cruel Sadist, Funeral Charm
b_jonas: Sandstone Needle, Cleansing Wildfire, Veteran Brawlers
ben-zayb: The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, Bottomless Vault, Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage, Sideboard: Obosh, the Preypiercer

I think Laughing Dog beats everyone but TiaC - with a cat funnily enough given both their usernames and I think that's enough to get them over the line.

Given a fair chunk of the decks this round seemed to be mainly to help get to the 5 so that we had a playable number, do people still want to continue?

Probably no. I'm submitting decks, but I'm not really spending any time thinking about them and the meta and reviewing the rounds, so my heart is currently not in it. Perhaps we should take a hiatus with a definite period, like twelve months, then put out another call whether there's interest continuing this game.

[Laughing Dog]

Let's see:
I WW vs Bucky. He can't get past cat, and evil presence does nothing to me. I LL to TiaC. Funeral charm wins the game for TiaC. I WL vs bjonas. He can get Cleansing Wildfire out in time if he is on the play, removing my ability to play the Oven, and then just wins the damage race. I barely WW vs ben-zayb, with Obosh T18 (with ben-zayb on the play) bringing things to a very near loss for me.

[Bucky]

I decided to skip a round for IRL reasons, but that round didn't happen due to non-participation.


I'm LL vs. Swamp (Laughing Dog and TiaC), WW vs. Sandstone Needle (b_jonas) and DD vs. Tabernacle (ben-zayeb)

[ben-zayb]

vs b_jonas: DD by holding onto the Tabernacle until the Brawlers get played
vs Bucky: DD by holding onto the Tabernacle until the Shambler get played
vs Laughing Dog: LL
vs TiaC: Cruel Sadist has already been banned

I'd probably be much busier for the next few weeks, but I'll be fine with either continuing or going on a hiatus.

[b_jonas]

vs TiaC: Cruel Sadist has already been banned

Oh crap. TiaC vs b_jonas would have been an actually interesting match if it weren't for that.
Bucky vs b_jonas: WW, because Bucky brought first turn land destruction, so I can't cast anything.
