Hmm spent a long time choosing between rootwalla (faster clock, safer to ghost quarter) and goldmeadow Nomad (1/2, very relevant vs those Prides!) and it looks like it would have been roughly a wash which I'm happy with
Nobody went through *all* of alligators matchups I don't think, so a number remain uncorrected
Some of these were human corrected but not all of them, and not certain which ones got ingested.
Differences: In the original standings it gave alligator a DD vs the peat bog deck (should be LL) and WW vs misthollow griffin (DD), DD vs wasteland 1 (LL), WW vs wasteland 2 (LL) and gave you wd vs trinisphere (DD)
So to be specific this is WL
This is DD. Aunties sentence can't force a discard of either of the force pieces. So force can counter the Bearer, and sentence kills the goblin token
This is LL. Force counters vault Skirge, but noxious revival puts it back on top to be recast, then it's replayed and wins the race.
This is LL. Aunties semblance either gets countered or forces a storm crow discard, and then bitterblossom bearer easily races dryad arbor
Aren't the corrections to individual posts how it's going to ingest corrections?
Correct, agreed
Should be LL for nickchk
This is WW. Pact counters either Force or Snapback (with no penalty since Gideon will then be in play and make the emblem). Then the 4/4 easily races the goblin token
Should be DD. The goblin token blocks the Revoker so it can never hit me.
This should be 6-0 to me. Force of Will counters memnite, and rending volley can't hit the goblin token.
oh you're right, for some reason i played out the lotus-force-pact angle but then did not actually put the gideon into play on the same turn

Awww I forgot about the griffin! That's what I should have done
I dislike when there's a single best payoff and no point to building towards anything else. Hated emrakul for the same reason
@proptermalone.bsky.social is there an evergreen not-banned-even-if-it-wins list? basics? duals? moxen? lotus? 🙏
(also note that the banlist isn't updated on the website)
i will be bummed if this is what gets lotus banned. IMO lotus is totally fair in 3CB and is an interesting part of the format that should stick around
tbc i mean Leyline-Lotus-Thoracle. There are some other variants where the stuff that beats it is also stronger to other stuff
i hope thoracle wins so it's gone. i hate thoracle in all formats
IMO this round is very RPS, moreso than last round which had a Best Card. The stuff that beats Thoracle is pretty easy to beat so it's just a question of how many Thoracles we see and how many things-that-beat-thoracles we see. Whichever category is most popular, if you beat it you're on top
I suppose it doesn't matter but still some issues down at the bottom of the rankings. The decks that can cast removal should get a few more points than the other decks that can't win, and the elesh norn deck should get the same score as all the other last-place finishers
Looks great! Would be better /easier for checking if it also had the deck lists in there
