wow yeah researching this format was awful. I got down some random obvious ideas, compared them, found the best, and threw it in without really exploring much of anything. kudos to those of you who found something actually good. I'm surprised not to see more path decks. I was really planning around path-plains-plated sliver being a real thing.
Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.
I gambled that there would be more 1CMC threats in this format than 2CMC threats (I could have run Supply // Demand
of the three decks graded so far, I'm winning!
no one else grade any other decks.

guys you were supposed to play bouncelands and depletion lands come on
Thanks to whomever scored my games. I went through and scored my games then compared them to what was already there and I found some discrepancies but of course all of the issues were things that I overlooked and mistakes that I made so whomever scored my games thanks, I would have gotten it wrong.
Too lazy to come up with decks.
I did 3CM here before Caldera started it, and did all the grading. It comes pretty easily. I only play occasionally, when I have a deck I like.
I thought I had sent Shrimp Badlands
Part of why I wanted Black Lotus out of circulation. I imagine a great deal of players would have submitted something like Black Lotus - Bitterblossom - SomeOtherBThingLikeBeckonApparitionOrBogRatsOrBileUrchinOrBumpInTheNight .
Out of curiosity: in the discussion before the format was finalized and it was thought that Loti and dupes would be allowed, people were talking about having decks that could beat the Black Lotus decks, even the Double-Black-Lotus decks. What were the nature of those decks? I didn't see anything in this format that could stop an on-the-play-turn-1 Lotus (Artifact Blast and Simian Spirit Guide starting with different letters; there being no 0-cost blue card starting with D to pair with Disrupting Shoal) and once a Lotus or two is down there are so many different ways that player could go that I can hardly imagine a deck that is able to deal with them all.
If lotus were legal, the best deck is probably Lotus-Badlands- Bloodline Keeper
It gets some obscene number of points. Looks like 57. It even 4-1s BSA.
I keep forgetting Shrimp has more Byzantine rules than Final Fantasy Tactics' law system.
Come to think of it, "Byzantine" also begins with a B.
Banlist update? The OP mentions nothing of The Rack / Shrieking Affliction ban discussion that I've seen bandied about. There's been a little discussion about unbanning Phyrexian Revoker or Wasteland. I think a concrete restatement of current banlist would help (and any potential policy about future banlist change methods?)
yes
with that said, I'm going to test out unbanning wasteland
The poll for next round is up. seeing as I was a bit late to get it posted, I'll run it until grading for this round has finished
I hardly see the point of that fifth option. Creature cards in the deck must be 1/1? Doesn't that largely come down to "Vanilla, but Thalia and Vampire Hexmage are banned"? I mean, half the vanilla decks don't even use any creature cards, and among those that do, Dryad Arbor, Chronomaton, and Memnite are three of the most popular creatures.
the poll option for the haiku format is misleading. You can name your deck whatever you want, but the point is the *cards* in your deck must form a haiku.
And by that, strictly meaning, "Your deck must consist of two cards whose names are five syllables and one card whose name is seven syllables"?
It might be early to discuss this, but since it looks like it's winning rather handily, we should consider some bannings for the super-big-life-total format. For starters:
Test of Endurance After that, there are a number of cards like these that could be banned, but they aren't as outright, so I'm not sure about throwing the ax at them. There are other cards I think might warp the format, but since I'm so unsure, I'd rather not discuss them and spoil the whole format. It looks really fun, though. Had I investigated earlier, I would have voted for it long ago.
I demand spreadsheets. Or pudding. Definitely one of the two.

mqj, you and I split. If you ever cast Duress or unkicked Gatekeeper, my Elf outraces you. If I ever cast Elf, you kick Gatekeeper and kill it. Shrimp, you and I should be 3 - 3. When you're on the play, you cast Thalia, preventing my Pithing Needle, then Wasteland away Pendelhaven and outrace me. But when I'm on the play, I start with Needle naming Wasteland, then Elf + Pendelhaven outrace you (first strike won't save you against a 2/3). Same goes for my match-up with Nyktos. DARK_DRAC0's deck was sorta cool. Is that something that's been around before? Slow but nifty. Mage24365, you didn't heed the Wasteland
deck 4 v deck 1 (was 6-0, should be 4-1)
on the play, deck 1 dumps their hand. deck 4 can't play affliction due to Thalia, so it just plays Noble and passes. if deck 1 tries to race, deck 4 wins. if deck 1 defends, deck 4 can't swing or Thalia eats Noble and starts swinging. still though 59 points. razorborne2gud.
I believe my matchup against the Vraska deck should be 4-1 in my favor, because when I'm on the draw, every two turns his Vraska gets plus 2, but my Nether Spirit always hits it for 2 too.

I understand it doesn't have haste, but Nether Spirit comes back every upkeep if it's the only creature in the graveyard. Which it will be. With that it mind, and keeping in mind it doesn't have haste, I keep Vraska perma locked at a non-ultimate value. ALSO, that's me cracking the lotus to play the spirit, not using Lilli, as that would be ideal playing.
Stupid Shrieking Affliction
When does the poll close, Shrimp? And does anyone have more proposals for cards to ban in the super-life format other than the two I already named?
so there's a discrepancy on deck 9 v. deck 12/13. I believe whoever graded 12/13 forgot that, if 9 duresses their liliana, they can just hardcast spirit with the lotus, leading to them 6-0ing. if anyone believes this is incorrect for some reason, feel free to correct me.
however, deck 6 v. deck 3 seems wrong to me. neither can stop the other, and the matchup doesn't look at first glance like the type where whoever moves first loses, so 2-2 doesn't make much sense to me. but there's a bunch of fiddly numbers and I don't feel like doing the math. PS: also, wooh, +55 ELO.
I should make an MUP and abstain from further matches in order to remain on top of the ladder forever
so has next round started/has razorborne won/is razorborne the greatest/yes

this will teach me to come back and check ban list updates before the submissions close. Desert seemed ideal to stop inkmoth nexus, glistener elf, and virtulent sliver, but not worth it if no one can run inkmoth.
YOU MAY HAVE BEAT ME THIS TIME, BUT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
I am still bad, big surprise 
It's all good. I did pretty poorly this round too. It happens. Should have stuck with my instincts and gone for something more control-y.
secretly i might have stolen it
I think it may be time for someone else to take the reins.
...not it.
Gimme a day to learn google doc spreadsheet. Because, like, I don't do enough things on the forum or something.
If no one has any objections...
If people are willing to give me a chance... If no one else is willing to host it... I'll take over running 3CM and start the next round soonish. But I need to hear responses to soothe my hijacking soul.
Yea Rush, feel free to start it up, Shrimp probably had some IRL stuff so might as well keep the game alive :D
Hopefully, I've figured out everything I need to in regards to the spreadsheet. If so, I'll open up the next round tomorrow.
In case you missed it, we're starting with a new thread. See ya there!
