The Tiger has shroud. He'll T1 Llanowar Reborn, T2 Forest, Tiger saccing Forest, grafting from Llanowar Reborn. 4/3 shroud beats in FTW. Does that change anything?
My mistake! Damn new cards!
I'll try to update the Banned List as soon as possible, but you can quickly search the most recent page for something that hasn't been added yet (to not use it).
A very similar problem here. Either nobody will cast a creature first fearing Innocent Blood, or both players will cast them and lose their creatures. This will be DD (Draw both games).
It is important to note that sometimes the "perfect play" leads to Draw. For example if players both have a 2/2 creature they will NEVER attack and then pass the eternity staring the game. This a Draw.
Well, there doesn't seems to be a lot of exciting about this. Is in fact very simple. I'll beat my own deck. My deck's strategy is pretty straight: On my turn, I just cast and sac both Loti to cast my Swallower and start beating.
Now, I have to post a deck of three cards that can win both if starts on the play or starts on the draw (a "Win Win" or WW). For example:
It doesn't matter who plays first, PtE will exile the Swallower, allowing for 20 damage from the Legendary Hound. Now, you have to submit a deck that WW this:
Do you know the Card Blind format? It is quick way to play Magic and is very funny: You start the game with a limited number of cards in hand and no library (but can't lose because that), then start playing Magic normally. But the games are resolved with "perfect play": You know your opponent's cards and make the best play, much like a machine would decide for you. You "play" two games (one starting on the play, other on the draw) and each game can end with a Win (W), a Draw (D) or a Lose (L) for you.
An important rule is random effects work against the user. So Mana Clash always damages you and never your opponent.
Card Blind has plenty of variants and today I'll start the "Speed" variant and play it with 3 cards. All you have to do is submit a deck (of 3 cards) that "WW" the previous deck: Win the game when it starts on the play and also win the game when it starts on the draw.
Also, we will have a banishing banned list so that the game can eventually end. This means that every card used in a deck will be added to the banned list. We start with no banned list, just to let everyone know. To make it fair, lands that only have produce mana can never be banned. That way, you will always have Plains, Island, dual lands, etc.

Nice, that was hard. Mishra's Workshop is a land that only produces mana, but is powerful. Shoudl we ban it?

This doesn't beat my deck, as I'll just PtE your Tiger, that will give you a LL (Lose both games).

Well, this does beat the previous deck. However, we will start from the Plains, PtE, Isamaru deck. You can beat my white deck with this:
Peat Bog
Black Knight
Black Knight
You can now, beat this deck. I'll add Black Knight to the banned list. Come on, you can beat it easily!

Now, I have to post a deck of three cards that can win both if starts on the play or starts on the draw (a "Win Win" or WW). For example:
Plains, Path to Exile, Isamaru, Hound of Konda.
It doesn't matter who plays first, PtE will exile the Swallower, allowing for 20 damage from the Legendary Hound. Now, you have to submit a deck that WW this:
Plains
Path to Exile
Isamaru, Hound of Konda
(two of those cards are now added to the banned list, too.)
