After I post the results for this month, I will put 3.5CB on hiatus for the time being. Reasons for this:
1) I am working through some personal issues that will make it difficult to maintain the momentum that has already been sapped by...
2) I'm getting a little burned out. I rarely visit the Games forum any more, and I really don't have the energy to keep up a weekly thing. Oh, and...
3) CB has been on a decline lately, as evidenced by the lack of updates from regular posters of CB games. It's hard to be enthusiastic about something not too many others are enthusiastic about; in other words, what if they gave a CB and nobody came?
Anyways, I will call for submissions when I feel up to it again. In the meantime:
A - SALAd - Let's see if this works now: 11+2=13 (8th)
Gilded Lotus, Indentured Djinn, Aura of Silence/Blood Moon
Same deck, same result, even without countermagic.
B - Chimpanzee - Steal+Steel 15+7=22 (4th) (Title)
Sand Silos, Darksteel Colossus, Confiscate/Null Rod
C - Technomagus - Because Colossus is STILL a ***** to Deal With 15+1=16 (6th)
Darksteel Colossus, Bayou, Oxidize/Duress
Not this time around. Oxidize was a poor metagame choice due to the overwhelming Colossus popularity.
D - !Chucklez! - I have a monopoly on "Best Deck Name".dek 12+3=15 (7th)
Thallid, Savannah, Swords to Plowshares/Oxidize
Not this time around. Thallid wasn't enough of a threat.
E - dasheiff - I hate white, but for some reason I keep playing it. 17+6=23 (^3rd^)
Platinum Angel, Plains, Swords To Plowshares / Blessed Breath
Blessed Breath was a surprisingly useful SB choice, as it could prevent STP/Oxidize/Confiscate.
F - Tahn - That does it. I Quit. 24+16=40 ($1st$)
Black Lotus, Iridiscent Angel, Swords to Plowshares/Sphere of Resistance
Everyone metagamed against Colossus, you metagamed against metagaming against Colossus. Great win!
G - bertrand - Various Sizes 15+5=20 (5th)
Plains, Darksteel Colossus, Swords to Plowshares/Isamaru, Hound of Konda
H - halinn - no Life! 10+2=12 (9th)
Angelic Protector, plains, nomads en-kor/swords to plowshares
Traded a lot going first. Going second, assuming no removal, AP could block DC, and not much else.
J- jcsuperstar - I'm back! 20+10=30 (*2nd*) (Creative Deck)
Black Lotus, Honden of Infinite Rage, Obliterate/Final Judgment
Interesting SB choices. Judgment could easily have been STP and still won you a lot.
