Blind Magic is an online Magic format played here on the forums. Players play with an extremely limited deck size, such as 3 cards. Players begin with their entire deck (ie: those three cards) in hand and have no library (players don't lose when they fail to draw a card because of this). Due to the extremely limited number of play options given with their small deck size, games are calculated, rather then played, with an absolute determined winner (or a tie). Each player plays a match of two games against each other player who submitted - once going first, and once going second. Wins, losses, and ties for each of those two games are calculated by the moderator and players. The actual fun of the game comes from trying to decide which cards you will be playing.
The All Blind Tournament is a four-week XCB tournament, which spans all card blind formats and embraces a progressive anti-metagame. For each week of the four-week tournament, a new XCB format is announced for players to enter. Players compete for points (similiar to the PotM points for previous XCB games) each round. At the end of the four-week tournament, the player who has accumulated the most points over the four weeks wins the tournament, and receives a real-world prize.

2WhammeWhamme : metapate
Dust Bowl / Dissipate / Beacon of Destruction
dissipate is an interesting meta call. looks to be a few points better than denial.
3knobbodi : the bogeyman
Dark depths / thespian's stage / arcane denial
this is a scary deck, especially in ELR
4Feyd_Ruin : Score? Nah. Just fun!
Gibbering Descent / Orzhov Basilica / Solitary Confinement
you were hoping not to see permission. did not work out that way.
5piato : path of the beast
Elixir of Immortality / Beast Within / Path to Exile
this deck has been all over the place. im not sure the best third card though.

karakas / arcane denial / mangara of corondor
Dust Bowl / Dissipate / Beacon of Destruction
0-6 too fast.
3knobbodi : the bogeyman
Dark depths / thespian's stage / arcane denial
0-6 too uninteractive
4Feyd_Ruin : Score? Nah. Just fun!
Gibbering Descent / Orzhov Basilica / Solitary Confinement
6-0 too slow
5piato : path of the beast
Elixir of Immortality / Beast Within / Path to Exile
2-2 on the play i can counter elixir.
1 | X 0 0 6 2 | 08
Anywho, my results:
tom 1-4's me, locking my lands down on turn 2 on the play.
knoboddi 6-0's me; too fast.
Feyd_Ruin is cold to a counter; 0-6.
Piato... pretty sure I win the race. 0-6.
Note; that's their scores. So 4-0-6-6
...and XCB is dying out, guys, this is kinda sad. What happened?
I score 0 points <.<
No longer staff here.
vs knobbodi, now that i realize lage token is legendary...
it does look like 2-2, with stage copying karakas.
so my actual line, along with everyone else's:
1 | X 1 2 6 1 | 10 | 250
2 | 4 X 0 6 6 | 16 | 400
3 | 2 6 X 6 0 | 14 | 350
4 | 0 0 0 X 0 | 00 | 000
5 | 4 0 6 6 X | 16 | 400
any corrections?
and ive got a couple things in the works to try to get some more players. if you guys can think of anything else, let me know
get your entries in, folks.
