Some interesting strategies this week, obviously, the most broken strategy that comes to mind given the special rule is the free discard leading to some pretty ridiculous stuff being possible with Reanimate.
I have not calculated results, I'll leave that to you all. I'll finish anything that hasn't been finished by Monday or so.
We'll be continuing the special week next week, but there will be some new restrictions, so pay attention again. For obvious reasons, the decks played during these two weeks will not count in the 'decks played' section.

The deadline for next week will be Thursday, Nov. 29 at 3PM EST. Results will be posted before the end of the following Saturday.
For bookkeeping purposes, I would appreciate it if you could alphebetize your decks. Just to save me 10 minutes. Don't bother if you're dyslexic, though.
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.
'Welcome to Mafia Salvation', it said, 'Population: 3,660.' And someone, they never figured out who, had painted on the sign in red letters: '1,831 to lynch.'
I’ve worked out the matches, but please check the accuracy of what I posted. This round created three ties in POTM and also put five players within a point of each other.
EDIT: I want to clarify the rules for next week. Assuming I have no way to produce 6RRWW, could I include Firemane Angel. Basically, can I include that has the ability to return a card from my graveyard to play, if I have no way to use that ability?
My matchups are correct as well. I killed peoples with Door to Nothingness!
After all the mistakes I made last round in trying to correct matchups, I'm glad I did something right. Also, one more rules clarification that occurred to me today; "Once per game, whenever you could play a sorcery". Would an effect like Orim's Chant prevent a player from doing this?
Everything seems okay but 7-8. I'm not seeing how I win that matchup. I can keep saccing Nether Spirit to Tabernacle, but I can't pay for the tokens I make that way.
BTW, thanks a ton, Mogg. I appreciate the support to keep the game going.

'Welcome to Mafia Salvation', it said, 'Population: 3,660.' And someone, they never figured out who, had painted on the sign in red letters: '1,831 to lynch.'
My bad. It should be 4-1 you. You'll play Volcanic Island and Daughter of Autumn, discarding Bridge from Below. Daughter of Autumn is legendary so it will trade with Halinn's you'll get a token. Nether Spirit can't return because Daughter of Autumn is in Halinn's graveyard.
I swear I posted this earlier, but Barren Glory is not banned. Also, If you want to run Firemane Angel without including the ability to recur it, that's fine, just like it's okay to run Cabal Therapy in a deck with no creatures.

Nitpick: Under Greebo's rulings it's NOT okay to run Cabal Therapy, ever, even without a way to flash it back. The reason is that it makes a player discard ALL copies of the named card, and "all" is often more than one (especially with Loti.)

I'm a mathematics postdoc researching evolution and complex systems. Learn about these ideas here!
Okay, bad example. But the fact is still that it would be okay to run a discard spell that could potentially make people discard multiple cards in a turn, but in context, cannot. This rule is not going to be any different.
