1  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / Re: 3CB #95 Results and Discussion/3CB Tournament #96 on: March 01, 2007, 02:06:16 am
Because Show and Tell doesn't cause Hypnox to be played from hand (it's put into play, which has a different meaning in Magic), the RFG hand ability won't trigger. For more information, if needed, look into rulings on cards like Elvish Piper, Sneak Attack and Phage (Gatherer, SCG Ask the Judge or our own Rules Forum are good places to start).

Thanks for the explanation Smile

3 (Black Lotus   Show and Tell   Hypnox)
vs 4 (Black Lotus   Smallpox   The Rack)
Current: 0-6
Suggested: 3-3
On the play I get the hypnox into play with show and tell, they can have either a Rack or a Lotus, and then the rest of their hand is removed from play. Hypnox races rack.

vs 8 (City of Traitors   Illusionary Mask   Phyrexian Dreadnought)
Current: 3-3
Suggested: 6-0
On the draw, deck 8 gets COT, Mask on the first turn. I play everything, They can't mask the 'nought into play so they can either put it into play with the show and tell and then sac it to its own CIP ability, or they can hold it and have it removed from the game. Either way is good for me

vs 13 (Mishra's Workshop   Scalding Tongs   Ensnaring Bridge)
Current: 0-6
Suggested: 1-4
On the play they can show and tell for only the Bridge (Tongs and Workshop are then removed from play by hypnox) resulting in a draw.

vs 16 (Sand Silos   Darksteel Reactor   Energy Field)
Current: 0-6
Suggested: 2-2
Should be same result as 11. They can have the Energy Field in to play from the show and tell, but they can't have the energy field and the reactor.

vs 20 (Black Lotus   The Rack   Balance)
Current: 0-6
Suggested: 3-3
On the play they can't use show and tell to cast balance so they can have either the lotus or the rack, with balance and the other card removed from the game. Hypnox races both The Rack or a lonely Black Lotus

2   Naphtali   -   Anvil.dec   -   City of Traitors   Anvil of Bogardan   Nether Spirit
vs
8   Franz Ferdinand   -   Man of Mysteries   -   Black Lotus   Karakas   Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Current: 1-4
Suggested: 3-3

On the play 2's anvil will prevent Augustin from getting into play. Nether Spirit isn't legendary so Karakas can't bounce it, so the spirit wins.

Franz looks right to me. Well on everything except "this was a bad metagame choice", IMO the winning deck is a pretty good choice  Razz

A few comments on the banning list.
Banning of Duress helps Lotus.
Banning of Trinisphere helps suspend.

I think the Shoal-Evermind is fine. Unlike Force it only hits 0 casting cost spells. If it pushes some more decks away from Lotii and Moxen all to the good.
6  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / Re: 3CB #87 Results and Discussion/3CB Tournament #88 on: October 14, 2006, 02:32:24 am
I thought Pox was only banned because it was such a mize deck and was annoying to calculate.
7  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / Re: 4CB Tournament #3 Results and Discussion/4CB Tournament #4 Opening on: October 12, 2006, 07:53:16 pm
Restore Balance is pretty similar to Smallpox and given its lower casting cost it fits into a lot more decks than Smallpox does. (And its got to be hell to calculate as well)
8  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / Re: 3CB #87 Results and Discussion/3CB Tournament #88 on: October 11, 2006, 09:37:07 pm
9 vs 2
I agree with Franz should be 0-6 for 9

IMO Restore Balance is at least as bad as Smallpox, and the only person who played smallpox finished 12th.

Could you list who you do have decks from? I think I submitted a deck, but its a while ago and I can't remember what I submitted  Razz
10  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / Re: 3CB #86 Results and Discussion/3CB Tournament #87 on: October 07, 2006, 08:52:32 am
8 vs 9
Current: 2-2
Suggested: 1-4

When 9 goes first it can get all of its pieces into play before the dreadnought swings twice.
When 8 goes first, 9 has to play energy field before playing the tongs, so its a draw.

#  101.Ruling.1 - The Leyline cards from Guildpact happen after players are satisfied with their hands, but before the first player takes his or her turn. Each player chooses, in turn order, which Leylines to put into play, then they all reveal their choices simultaneously and put the cards into play simultaneously. These are put into play directly without playing them. They cannot be countered. The player who will be going first determines the timestamp order among Leylines that start the game in play. [Guildpact FAQ 2005/12/22]

Given that you have to make your choices in turn order, As the player going second always has perfect knowledge of their opponents hand, they know whether the player going first has put the leyline into play or not.

So, the player going second will be able to choose whether to have 1 Leyline starting in play (Play theirs if first player didn't, or hold theirs if first player did), or to nuke them both.

Ah, it says that you choose the Leylines in turn order, but you reveal their choices simultaneously.  This means that you don't know if your opponent has chosen a Leyline or not.  It doesn't say that you choose one and put it aside, showing that you have some Leyline chosen.  This means that, since that's the point of the decks, I'd assume both players would choose their own Leyline, then both would reveal and put into play simultaneously, which means they both become Legendary and go to the grave.

Why would the order of choices be specified if the cards weren't put aside or in some other way indicated? Surely it would read "Each player chooses which Leylines to put into play, then they all reveal their choices simultaneously and put the cards into play simultaneously." Normally you can't see your opponents hand so the effect is almost the same. The point of specifying the choices in turn order would be to prevent dextrous opponents from getting any advantage.

#6 vs #12
Current 0-6
Suggested 3-3

On the play I drop everything. (Lotus, Hunter, Aura)
They play COT so they can play lotus.
Whenever Lotus hits the table I can destroy it with Aura whilst COT is tapped, so they can't play Kodama.

I agree with all of the edits relating to my deck, don't have time to check the whole round today.
15  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / Re: 3CB #84 Results and Discussion/3CB Tournament #85 on: August 28, 2006, 10:24:14 am
Lotus Bloom might get some play in a meta where Black Lotus is banned..... but is still probably too slow.

I had a look through it yesterday and I couldn't actually see anything that looked competitive. I had a bit of a think but I couldn't find anything to go with Braid of Fire, which is the only card that really leaped out at me.

Sweet  Very Happy

So, will Coldsnap be legal for the next tournament?

On the draw, he takes the Bridge with the Duress and the Javelineers race the Tongs.
