Stef, this isn't specific to Pixie; however, it is likely specific to this sort of infinite loop, where we are playing Overlord as two or three times as different cards due to self-trashing (or removal - I think the same thing happens with the Crown-Mandarin loop).

Here's a game with Mining Village as the self-trasher instead, I end up with -8 Mining Villages and 13 Overlords.

That completes the round; next round (and remaining bracket) should be up by the end of the day.

Not surprised this isn't handled well (and this is an extreme edge case), but with the following setup:

http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17800.msg734220#msg734220

I ended up with a deck of 52 Overlords and -48 Pixies:

I assume the problem is we are gaining the same Overlords repeatedly but they are trashed while they are Pixies, so the Overlord count keeps incrementing and the Pixie count keeps decrementing. I think I had 3 actual Overlords and 1 actual Pixie at the end, so the math works out (49 Overlords gained and 49 Pixies trashed).

As important features go, this is very low on the list, but for the purposes of testing setups (and puzzles) it would be useful to be able to choose your starting hand. Particularly with Heirlooms/Shelters, it can be painful to restart until you get the right hand.

Round 6 should be up tomorrow. As things stand, we would have 16, and I have asked Skies if it is ok to just close signups at that point rather than adding in a single non-prize-eligible quarerfinalist at round 7 and having odd numbers the rest of the way.

One match left to be decided, I've sent a reminder. Next round matchups should be up tomorrow sometime.
