Well, it's a shame that there weren't enough entrants to keep it to one deck each, but there were still plenty of interesting decks around! As mentioned above I don't think Smallpox is going to stay legal - it's just got too much power behind it for a two-mana card, even with two coloured mana; given two entirely different decks took the top two slots by a distance with completely different Smallpox tricks, I think that's testament to its power. I like the Stuffy Doll combo that two people came up with, which is a new benchmark for decks, as it's the fastest legal deck out there. One thing that interested me was the large number of Chalice decks running around, which is why the deck based on Suspend cards didn't run so well (and, incidentally, why my second creation was able to avoid the wooden spoon for the fortnight - Chalice for 2 on the play cut out a surprising number of decks' game plans!).
Apologies for not putting results up sooner, I had a few personal things that had to be dealt with last night and hence I didn't log on until now.
For next week: Same Again!
Rules:
Basic Rules
- Your deck is composed of 4 cards, all of which start in your hand.
- Your deck has no sideboard.
- You don't lose as a result of not being able to draw a card.
- You can see your opponent's hand, so you can always make the best possible play.
- Your random effects always go in your opponent's favor.
- All other rules of Magic remain unchanged, unless otherwise stated.
Tournament Rules
- All matches are played out by the moderator (participants only submit the decks).
- Tournaments are run in round-robin fashion.
- Each matchup consists of 2 games, with each deck going first once.
- Participants earn 3 points if their deck wins a game, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss; thus, over the course of a match, you can earn 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0 points.
Deck-Building Rules
- You may not submit a deck that can win before the end of your opponent's first turn.
- You may not submit a deck that can force an opponent to discard more than 1 card in one turn.
- You may not submit a deck that can generate infinite (or an arbitrarily large amount of) mana on the first turn.
- Your deck may not include Unglued or Unhinged cards, ante cards, Garfield event cards (such as Splendid Genesis or Proposal), or 1996 World Champion.
- You may not include a card that appears on the 4CB Banned List.

The date for closing entries will be the 26th October - two weeks from today. I'd normally just shorten this tournament to ten days, but on Sunday 22nd I'm getting baptised at my church, and to be honest I doubt I'll go on TMD that day; as such I may as well make it two weeks from now.
Thanks,
Adam
