Three rounds in and the format is shaping up. Blazing Shoal has won twice now and looks prime for banning, so it's officially on the watch list. Funeral Charm (and by association, Piracy Charm) are also being given the watchful eye, though neither did much this round.

Man, when you're sick for 4 days Wednesday really sneaks up on you. I'll try to throw something together now.

Round 4 Spreadsheet

Now seems as good a time as any to start banning things. So, make your voice heard about what you'd like to see banned, and from here on out, we'll start adding things to the list. (Maybe even set up a concrete system that forces bans. Or not. We'll see.)

door, changed your result against deck 7 to 6-0 for you: You Crack their Swamp before they can ever cast Muse. Even if they Duress it away, you just Revival it back. All this and you can play Mycon before doing it.

Congrats (I think) to WhammeWhamme on yet another win. A bit of dominance in the air, for sure. With a full cycle under our collective belts, we'll start losing the points from the oldest round. And since we're moving into that new era, it's time for some bans: Funeral Charm, Piracy Charm, Smallpox, and Blazing Shoal are all now added to the banned list.

My scoreline as I see it:

v1: 6-0. I Lush Growth a Cloudpost and d1 never has the 4 mana for Eater.
v2: 0-6. D2 Lush Growths my Inkmoth denying my wincon; I can only lush out either Burnwillows lifegain punishing fire recursion or inkmoth, but not both, and the one I don't shut down kills me.
v3: 2-2. I lush out the Rot Farm, d3 Needles out my Inkmoth, neither of us has a wincon anymore.
v4: 6-0. I Lush the slagheap on T3 and attack for 2-3-3-3 poison on turns 3-4-5-6 and win on my T6. Without Slagheap gaining counters, the best d4 can do is cast Braid on T2, then start casting upkeep Beacons from T6. But being forced to spend that Braid mana in upkeep ensures inability to kill my Inkmoth.
v5: 6-0. D5 casts Form on T4 and theoretically would kill on T8. I can deal lethal poison on my T6.
v6: 0-6. D6 plays T1 Blinkmoth, T2 Dimir Aqueduct, T3 Scepter imprinted, then from T4 is ready to Geth every turn. Whether I Lush the Nexus or the Aqueduct doesn't really help me, and I only get to deal 6 poison (on the play) before I can no longer afford to activate Inky, and Geth's eventually kills me anyway.
v7: 6-0. Ratchet Bomb's nonland clause keeps my land threat safe (too bad Powder Keg isn't modern legal). Inky romps.
v9: 6-0. As above, Inky deals lethal poison on T6. The best overseers can do by T6 is 16 points damage.

Congratulations to Heinsun on edging out the round 5 victory!



Round 6
No new bans for this round. The new meta is still shaping up! As my schedule has been atrocious this week and because I'm so late in getting this up, the deadline for entries is being moved to Monday, December 1st, 5pm PST. The week after will also have an extension to get us back on the every Wednesday schedule. My apologies for the tardiness.

Awesome.

Can you open up a means for members of other communities to submit via email in case they don't want to make accounts on the three participant sites? I've got a player from boardgamegeek playing 3cm via email submission now (hopefully will hook more soon) and it'd be nice to extend the opportunity for him/them to join this, too. http://boardgamegeek.com/article/17495767

Round 6 Spreadsheet

Again, sorry for the delays. Next week we'll be back on our usual schedule.

(nothing to see here, Whamme's deck was actually defenseless against mine and it was I who chose the strikingly perfect vaccine)

Note: I've added a deck that I excluded. #12: mqj. If you don't have a score against mqj, it's because I didn't put said deck into the spreadsheet until just now.

I've filled out the spreadsheet and left notes where I balanced out scores. Check your scores to make sure I didn't mess anything up. While we wait for that:



Round 7
No new bans. If you think something is causing problems for the format, make your voice heard. Otherwise, the format still hasn't quite shaped up since the last bans, and the format still seems to have a lot to offer. Deadline for deck submissions is Wednesday, Dec. 10th, 5pm PST.

Congratulations to keyboardmash for winning round 6!

8 hours left to submit a deck for round 7.

Round 7 Spreadsheet

Feel free to enter your scores into the spreadsheet.

While it doesn't actually affect my match outcome (I don't have anything that could kill the Noble, darn human Mutavault) I don't like the fuzzy way in which Cry of Contrition flirts with the rule "Decks are not allowed to reduce the number of cards in an opponent's hand by more than one per turn." - if you play Noble on T1 and then Contrition haunting it on T2 before attacking into a potential blocker/Quicksand, you've set yourself up to potentially cause two discards on the same turn (particularly if the opposing deck needs to block Noble to prevent its trigger). I don't think your deck actually does any worse using Horrifying Revelation (and in fact that's stronger vs Noxious Revival when that appears); I'd just as soon assume Cry of Contrition is banned (just as Cabal Therapy is banned in nonmodern XCM formats, because it's easy to see situations where it can cause multiple discard in a turn even if that only occurs as part of a dependency on opposing deck contents).
