Biography
| “ | Faceless Wanderer is a very restless individual, always on the move both mentally and physically. He has a rebellious streak and a provocative way of doing things mostly because he tries to use Evolution as a tool for improvement everywhere he can, even in his private life.
Evolution, along with simulations play a big role in his life and MTG is something that can be squeezed in between those two factors. Faceless Wanderer wants you to understand him, so to make that possible he will go into details about his life. When he gets some time to write in. |

Faceless Wanderer's ongoing projects
Faceless wanderer always have many projects going on, and usually no time in which to work on them. Despite the lack of time he tries to do it all at the same time, often resulting in vague semi-projects to be worked on some day.
"Common campaign"
Faceless Wanderer is convinced that tournament-valid decks can be built from common cards alone, and still be able to viable in MTG environments such as Vintage and Legacy. This campaign is currently where Faceless Wanderer is focusing his energy, but it is worked on simultaneously with his simulations, because he uses mana curve to enforce the concept. Faceless Wanderer is also working heavily on a deep analysis of the processes involved in tournaments (which, he means, are very flawed). He has eight of the Power 9, but never uses them. He simply have them to prevent another person from owning them. He prefers to use skills instead of money and wants to turn Building on a Budget into a solid strategy/philosophy for any Scrub.
Project Silhana
This is an updated version (v5.0) of the "Silhana Deck", an all-common deck designed to take out the top decks at Legacy. Allegedly, it is able to compete very well against Goblin, Faerie Stompy, and most rogue decks.
Throughout only four tournaments, I (Faceless Wanderer) have gained a local placing of 18, out of 62 players, in the Legacy environment with this deck.
Blue cards (19)
Green cards (19)
2 Mire Boa
Saving the world
Faceless Wanderer does want to save the world, and even have some plans for how to do that, but given the current design of those plans, and his luck, the world is better of if it continues as it always have.
Simulations
Faceless Wanderer is always working on a lot of different simulations. He uses a C64-Emulator since he only ever learned to program on a C64. He has finished[sic] creating a manalyzer (That tests how fast a mana curve[sic] using ability-less creatures and lands can kill a goldfish) and a simulator that creates and register mana curves by use of evolution(By use of this he has collected more than 300 mana curves[sic] that kills turn 5 in about 7000 games out of 10.000. He is also fine-tuning a simulator that creates mana curves using both permanents and non-permanents.
He is currently working on a manalyzer able to test decks with 1 to 3 colors in it (not counting artifacts), as well as a program that will use evolution to create 3 colored manacurves.
