But this time the Buddha had no words. He reached into the muck and pulled up a lotus flower. And he held it silently before them, its roots dripping mud and water.
After being deprived of the Black Lotus for so long, it was only natural that it would be a serious consideration to hate against in the next normal round. Five out of the seven contestants banned the card, and yet only one ran a deck with it.

Introduction
After being deprived of the Black Lotus for so long, it was only natural that it would be a serious consideration to hate against in the next normal round. Five out of the seven contestants banned the card, and yet only one ran a deck with it.
If nothing else, this proves the system works.
Decklists
Vault of Whispers / Dark Ritual / Phylactery Lich X: Force of Will
A 5/5 indestructable is a threat, but theres plenty of other removal to worry about that doesn't involve destroying.
2. Hinotama
Karakas / Student of Warfare / Path to Exile X: Black Lotus
The onlt time Karakas would have helped was against Emrakul, which couldn't even be cast against me
3. Error1
Force of Will / Sheltered Valley / Misdirection X: Black Lotus
Tended to beat everything that didn't run manlands
4. Nom_Anor
Balance / Mox Pearl / Mishra's Factory X: Nether Spirit
This is the deck to beat folks. Nom took advantage of the fact that there would be a Lotus frenzy
5. ~Tilde~
Black Lotus / Show and Tell / Emrakul, the Aeons Torn X: Black Lotus
Unfortunate victim of Lotus hate. Also, Channel is usually better than S/T unless you were worried about its ban.
6. tomsloger
Student of Warfare / Plains / Plains X: Black Lotus
The second plains seemed unneccessary and it could have easily been removal or even a mana tithe
7. Feyd Ruin
Swamp / Innocent Blood / Mutavault X: Black Lotus
Well, it worked. Blood beat the creature decks and Mutavault beat most of the non-creature decks.
