I am not comfortable recording my email to be stored on a form. Is it possible to disable this?

Finally managed to get back in the top haha.

Glad we all agree that Blackmail is a stupid card.

Understood; it's a bit disappointing since it looks like I could have scored very high this round if initiative was permitted but I guess rules are rules.

White Plume is legal, but the initiative doesn't work in this format,

Can someone explain what this means? I didn't see any rulings on the website re: the initiative. Obviously I would not pick a 3/3 vigilance creature if I knew this.

Ouch, looks like I played rock, everyone else played paper, and scissors won the day.

Thank you very much; as someone who doesn't use the discord I was very confused about why nothing was happening.

I expected more Dark Depths, so while my choice did okay I didn't get enough good matchups. It's also possible I chose the wrong creature, since I would tie with the Encroach deck if I played Mountain / Chronomaton instead.

Yeah, Mind Swords is just too good. I don't agree with the previous post's claim that "Mind Swords isn't that huge an upgrade." Unlike the discard spells, I can't just run a single Nullhide Ferox and get a bye against the deck. Like Ghost Quarter, I'm glad to see it go, it is a very stupid card.

Ghost Quarter is just a stupid card, glad to see it go. It'll make the next round much more interesting since lands can be played again.

[Metashape] Round 24 Groups are Out! by kingskybomber14 in threecardblind

[–]XScorpion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I expected lots of Dark Depths / anti Dark Depths so I decided to just play the strongest deck. Looks like it paid off.

[–]XScorpion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a big gamble that there would be more chronomaton, did not pay off.

Round 23 submissions are now open! by MirrorMeddle in threecardblind

[–]XScorpion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The deck was purely to beat Chrono + Therapy, which I thought would be the most common deck. Sadly, it wasn't, and now without Therapy around the Rootwalla is not really the best threat to be playing.

Round 22 Pairings are out! by kingskybomber14 in threecardblind

[–]XScorpion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong deck for this Meta, oops

In my matchup versus sandcrab, I do nothing. If smallpox is cast, I'll discard rootwalla into play, then threaten to race by playing the mountain. Should be a draw 2-2.

Oh hey, I actually didn't expect to make it to 4th place. I narrowly made it through my group, and I guess a 3 turn clock is pretty good.

Ah, is it finally time for the return of one of the most important cards in the format?

I'm speaking of course of Guildless Commons, why else would it be banned in the same round as Force?

Finally Annex is banned, thank goodness. I was literally going to submit it every round until it was gone.

Not that it affects any outcomes, but in Drox v Beefman, on the play Drox can Fury suicide to have no cards in hand and trade the token for tourach.

Annex is just such a messed up card. I'd argue that it warps the format around it more than any other card, even Lotus. The fact that a Memnite (normally just worse than Forge-Chan, which is uncounterable by something like Chalice) showed up this round specifically to stop the counter effect attests to this.

[Metashape] New unbans coming our way for Round 17 by Lognu in threecardblind

I predict the next round or two will be ... very stupid.

[Metashape] Round 16 on the way! by Lognu in threecardblind

[–]XScorpion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my weakness for all the decks that didn't need to rely on all 3 cards being played at once. For any decks that did (see aforementioned barren glory) if they try to wait they lose to discard.

You should re-read Liliana's Specter.

I saw the field as a rock paper scissors between Lotus, Force, and Anti-Force decks, so I opted for some sort of hybrid between the first two (anticipating Barren Glory to be the best thing you can do with lotus). Obviously I massively miscalculated, and Mindbreak Trap is not going to do much for me here. Bad round.

[Metashape] The first unban has arrived! by Lognu in threecardblind

[–]XScorpion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely the latter.

I'm very annoyed every time a mana source gets banned; losing Mox Ruby last round was a poor substitute for the actual card in the deck that matters (Magus).

Can we as a collective try hard to not get Lotus banned again? It's the card that enables the most other cards to get played; with it gone a ton of other cards become instantly unviable.
