I've been playing around a bit with UW Taking Turns and so far Pollen Lullaby has been a workhorse. It's a reliable fog, it scries and usually does double duty in keeping the team tapped down. In the list below I'm conceding a little ground in the control matchup for better odds in an aggro heavy environment.
Sorry I totally didn't show up after a month. School has kept me busier than expected, and tbh after being away from it for some time, the 2CB fire has gone out of me. I'm really glad I know that I run a game consistently for a year, but I guess it turns out that's about my limit.
I still love all of you and maybe someday I'll come back to play and maybe moderate some games here, but I prolly won't be around much for now. Thanks for making 2CB crazy awesome for the year it lasted!
I nominate Vikingmetal4L or someone who's willing to volunteer. Lets do this!
I second that. He's lazy, but he isn't as lazy as me. The format would be safe in his hands. Plus I might be able to convince him to run Whackbuild (1-4 scores 6, 3-3 scores 1, 4-1 scores something, 2-2 scores 0. Gemstone mine and some obvious cards are banned... anyone?)
6-0 v. Thopter Foundry / Sword of the Meek: Pith out the foundry. Win.
0-6 v. Anurid Scavenger / Time Walk
2-2 v. Eight-and-a-Half-Tails / Student of Warfare: Pith Tails. Block Student with Nether Spirit. Kill Tails if it attacks.
6-0 v. Mana Drain / Azorius Guildmage: Pith Guildmage, win with Nether Spirit.
0-6 v. Bitterblossom / Vindicate: I lose the race.
0-6 v. Krosan Reclamation / Akroma, Angel of Fury
6-0 v. Elixir of Immortality / Demonfire: Pith Elixir. Demonfire wins turn 21, but I win earlier.
2-2 v. Lich Lord of Unx / Augur of Skulls: Pith Lich Lord. If LL attacks, kill it. Otherwise, block Augur forever.
0-6 v. Ensnaring Bridge / Beacon of Destruction: Obvious.
6-0 v. Wand of the Elements / Mana Drain
6-0 v. Lich Lord of Unx / Odds // Ends: Pith Lich Lord.
6-0 v. Darksteel Brute / Balance: Pith the Brute.
6-0 v.Sol Ring / Braids, Cabal Minion: Pith Sol Ring. Beat Braids on tempo.
As for POTM, the added correction changes nothing. I'm still in first, and you're still in last. For POTM that means you'll have 28, Feyd_Ruin 27, bmh and I 25. However, since the deadline for this week is July 31st, that means one more week is left to factor in.
Mogg, I'd like to propose that we try to tie for first, Feyd_Ruin should take fourth and jc should pick up 5th for an epic four way POTM.
I don't think this deck works - although you don't lose the game for having 0 or less life, you can't actually pay life which you don't have; and therefore you can never cast the Eldrazi.

Don't I wreck Mogg? Dryad Arbor isn't a spell.
Godspeed, my dark emperor!
I didn't like the format because as it was easily ignored.

7 wins, 2 draws, 4 loses (44 points?)
I was too lazy to think up a deck, so I just looked at what won the last normal round and then excluded everything that included Ulamog.

Who's with me?
I'm with Madmanquail on this one.
Easy, Voodoo Doll can't ping Magus until it has a counter on it! I had considered playing Magus, but decided that it was too good.
