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.
2 vs. Feyd_Ruin: Turn three babydrazi goes unopposed. 6-0
3 vs. piato: Pretty sure turn 3 babydrazi beats a 4/4 figure, even with some lifegain. 6-0
5 vs. sockfresh: turn 3 babydrazi is much faster than Beacon. 6-0
filling in the grid (assuming tom is right):
Feyd_Ruin vs. piato: 6-0 to piato (#3). Figure of Destiny is da man.
Feyd_Ruin vs. sockfresh (#5, winner): Beacon can just burn away his dudes, forget racing.
piato vs. sockresh (#5, winner): Leyline shuts down Elixir lifegain, Beacon kills/races Figure.
Format Rules

Land Rule: Basic land rule (Any player may play a basic land or basic snow land of the subtype of his or her choice from outside the game any time he or she could normally play a land.)
As a point of clarification: the standard rules for infinite only replace your draw if you are drawing from an empty library. Is that the intent here?

1 vs. tomsloger: Lose hard to Beast Within. 0-6
2 vs. Feyd_Ruin: Turn three babydrazi goes unopposed. 6-0
3 vs. piato: Pretty sure turn 3 babydrazi beats a 4/4 figure, even with some lifegain. 6-0
5 vs. sockfresh: turn 3 babydrazi is much faster than Beacon. 6-0
filling in the grid (assuming tom is right):
Feyd_Ruin vs. piato: 6-0 to piato (#3). Figure of Destiny is da man.
Feyd_Ruin vs. sockfresh (#5, winner): Beacon can just burn away his dudes, forget racing.
piato vs. sockresh (#5, winner): Leyline shuts down Elixir lifegain, Beacon kills/races Figure.
So unless I'm wrong, babydrazi wins it all.
