Sweet! Second week in a row of perfectly consistent scores!

(agreed with everyone that I lose)

Wait, I'm super confused. What was Psylymnes deck? His explanation involved "banning" cards, so I assume he's playing Look at Me I'm the DCI, but the version listed in the grid post doesn't have that.

Psly4mne also submitted this list, in the case of Blacker lotus being legal: Blacker Lotus / Voidstone Gargoyle / Mental Misstep.

I knew it was legal, but submitted a backup in case I missed something or there was a change before the deadline.

Oh, Voidstone gargoyle, I misread it as Nullstone Gargoyle.

So I'm pretty sure that Psly4mne's deck can't 6-0 me. When I'm on the play, Psly4mne bans Pigeon on turn 1 and races in the air, as he said. However, when I'm on the draw, Psly4mne can't cast Voidstone Gargoyle until turn 5 because his Blacker Lotus is ripped up in little pieces on the floor. I can cast a turn 4 Symbol Status for 5, which is not quite enough to punch through a 3/3 blocker for lethal.

I'm not seeing the issue? If the concern is that the Blacker Lotus is subsequently a marked card, I can find a replacement.
