I built some decks and Tezzeret the Schemer is such crap, that I prefer playing other 4 cmc cards because he doesn't bring anything to the table.


Indeed he's crap for a 4 CC PW...I left him out at first, but I'm recosindering it, given how amazingly well he combs with the core idea of my build :blush:


The only time I saw that card do work was on the ladder, vs a rank 40 who had some crazy, story driven, thematic Grixis control deck.. where he got Tezzeret out, and lololPlanar Bridge.. then used Tezzy's +1 to ramp into activating the bridge.. which he used to tutor wincons (Ulamog, Chandra Flamecaller). Every other time I've played it or played against it, I thought it was liquid excrement. Is it worse than Kiora though? I dunno..

When is the deadline to round 3? I couldn't find it. I have a list already that is having much more success online than what I expected, but I want to make sure I have the deck as streamlined as possible.

The deadline is 14 March. Be sure that your deck has all the requirements that you can find in the following link, also send me by PM so we can have fun again with anonymous decklists.
viewtopic.php?p=542453#p542453


I like the
Round#
Winner
Decklist (in spoilers)

format on the OP and can see why you want to have one big megathread for the contest with separate threads for the polling because it lets you unify the winner lists like that.

However, I would like to respectfully suggest that you also add a Rules (in spoilers) section for each round (or at least for the current round) in the OP just so that people can quickly reference them. The bigger the thread gets, the harder it will be to find the current rules in it - especially for latecomers. Something like:

Quote:
Round 3:
Rules

Winner: TBA
Decklist: TBA

That's a good idea, i was wondering if anyone would actually read the OP. I will edit it, adding the links to the rules and also to the polls. Thank you :)

Edit: i edited the OP, i like the way you wrote the rules, but i'm lazy and didn't want to do this for every round, then i only linked the post :P

I mean,if I want to know the rules, the first place I'd look at is the OP. So, good job :D

Damn, I was having a nice run on the ladder with my build, 5-0 around rank 30...and then hitted the Sufflerwall: one lander (mulligan) - one lander (mulligan) - 4 lander with one 4 CC card and the higest cost card of my build, on the draw...followed by drawing land 5 times in a row...at the 5th land, I ragequited (I was basically dead anyways, of course)

I hate when it does that...more so because I can see it coming: if I have a zero/one lander, I know already the possibilities of mulliganing into a 0-1 or a 5-6 lander are around 1/2...my confirmation bias is out of the charts of lately...

Yeah, I just had a pretty bad run. I took the "funner" of my builds on the ladder. It faired poorly. After losing 4 in a row with it, I tried to play one of my better decks, just to remember what winning feels like. A mulligan and 6 turns later, I'm mana screwed at 3 lands with 2 Trackers and a 1/2 deathtouch on the table vs Saheeli, little Nissa, Tamiyo with 6 loyalty, a plant token, a Pilgrim's Eye, and 6 lands. Decided it was time for a break.

I'm starting to think I'm gonna have to go the boring route if I want to have anything playable for this challenge. :/

I've submitted my list, even though it may suffer some last minute changes.
Being anonymous, Giocher you may wan't to show the lists in a different order than you recieved them.
I'll give it a go on the ladder tomorrow, as the AI isn't putting up much of a fight atm...

The brew I'm doing is pretty wacky but fun so far. I just have to figure out how far I can push the rules and my mana base. Taking it to the ladder will come after I figure that out.

A hint to those of you who use Magic Duels Helper: you may want to sign out before constructing contest decks to preserve your anonymity.

There is an option to make your deck private, just tick the respective box.

An update: 4 decklists submitted till now and 2 upcoming. There are nice ideas, even if in some of those decklist the core idea is in the splash color, which is not very good since there are only 4 slots max and i thought about it as "ok i finished the dimir deck, which 2-3 cards could make it a lil better?".
Anyway this is the first time that there is a splash, so next time i will consider this. Any kind of decklist is accepted if the requirements are ok, i'm also considering a 5th card for the splash but i will decide tomorrow or the day after. If you want you can send me your decklist having 4 splash cards and below the swap if the 5th card is allowed, to not send it twice in case i decide to allow it.

Ok, got clobbered on the ladder. Went 0-4.
Even the game I should have won, opponent got all 3 Fatal Pushes that saved his neck.
Back to the drawing board...

Try playing it again tomorrow or later tonight. Sometimes you just hit a wall of bad luck, bad matchups, bad karma, w/e. If you have the same outcome in 2 consecutive sessions then, yah, time to try something else.

My deck that had such a rough time last night just went 3.1-0 today, vs an assortment of decks. I still think it's a bit weak, but I might roll with it anyway cuz its hella fun (and hard) to play.

3.1-0? What's a tenth of a win? Turn 1 concede?
