First of all, i have dislexica so there may be a lot of mistakes, althoug i tried to prevent that. Now thanks everybody who joined we had 23 participants, which is more then i expected and its also more work then i expected to calculate all the matches[Which means i take some more time to calculate next round] Wink

. I maybe made mistakes in calculating, maybe you all look through your own list if everything is right, if not tell me. Now the decks played, the number in the [] are the points.

1. KeySam - Permission gets the job done? - Dryad Abor, Force of Will, Counterspell([51] I guess the answer is no, i wanted to be flexible, but counterspell is not flexible in this format)

2. Flippi - Flippis land,removal,creature - Karakas, Isamaru Hound of Konda, Swords to Plowshares([60] A overall fair deck, it didnt do to well but fine, there where many stax thats horible for this deck)

3. Noobsauce - Barren Glorry - Lotus Bloom, Lotus Bloom, Barren Glorry([78] I expected a lot more barren glorry decks, you had problems against stax and some other decks)

4. Vimes - Vimes Green Deck Wins - Thalid, forest, Rishdan Port([56] If you played Pendelhaven instead of forest you had a better shot, thalid realy suprised me, but as you will see theres something better then thalid now)

5. Tenak - Big Red Cheat - Mercadian Bazaar, Boldwyr Heavyweights, Ingot Chewer([74] I love the idea of Heavyweights, although i am not sure that chewer is the right second card, your main problem is ferrorped and rishdan port, maze of ith can stop at least 1 of those and a lot of the early aggresion)

6. Thats Game - Beatings! - Tundra, Isamaru Hound of Konda, Daze([63] Similar to Flippis deck, although Daze gave you 3 extra points in this meta )

7. Eliminator - Workshop of Horrors - Mishra's Workshop, Trinisphere, Ferropede ([65] To many mirrors here to put up insane results)

8. SchwipSchwap - Mishras Minions - Mishra's Workshop, Ferropede, Serrated Biskelion.([77] This deck did ways better then i thought, i also like the Biskelion/Ferropede Synergy, of course its good that there wherent many combo decks and a lot of fair decks, i remain underestimating your decks SchwipSchwap)

9. Tewl - Untitled - Mishra's Factory, Albino Troll, Forest([40] Albino troll can regenerate thats fun, but echo slows you down, and you lost to all the stax(no matter if your on play or not, if you played a mox emerald instead of forest your result would be better)

10. StoneThrowingDevils - Untitled - Githu Enchampent, Urzas Factory, Braids of Fire([09] I told you i dont think its fast enough Wink

but well you will learn if your playing this format more often)

11. Coolcreep - Stop, drop, and wiley's a dumbass - vindicate - Oorzhov bascilica - mishra's factory([95] I saw this deck and thought, damn this deck is what i want to play, it does exactly what i wanted jut ways better, with more flexibilty in your disruption card, a better win condition and you have no problems against trinisphere, congrats on winning this round)

12. Hank333 - Wheel of torture only makes a draw - Mishra's Workshop, Ensaring Bridge, Scalding Tongs([84] I like this deck it doesnt have creatures + if your opponent has no way to get a rid of your artefacts he will die)

13. Halinn - Because I'm uncreative, I'll play TET - Treetop Village, Eladamri's Vineyard, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale([66] Uncreativity for a medium result is fair i think Wink

)

14. Lunarvoltage - Me>DSC.dec - Saprazzan Skerry, Phyrexian Dreadnought, Stifle([56] A deck that did worse then i expected it to do, if you played the good old illusionary mask + Dreadnought you do better against against stax and if you put mana crypt instead of city of traitors into the mix your also able to doge a posible rishdan port draw, althoug you lose then to maze of ith, so its a metagame call between those two)

15. yehudi - 3 card staxx - mishras workshop - trinisphere - steel golem([87] Another Staxx list, but steel golem was better in this metagame then ferropede)

16. kendiggy - Lame, but it works! - Mox Saphire, Rishadan Port, Imaginary Pet([79] It worked well, nothing else to say)

17. gluedman - Untiltled - Swamp, mishra's factory, bitterblossom ([72] Theres a deck i realy loved and you know now what i was saying as i said theres something better then thalid now, if you played a mox jet instead of swamp, you maybe even had won this(3 points more in every stax matchup, and you would have won atleast 1 game against the winner not sure about the second, great deck, i think we see more bitterblossom in the future)

18. Middleman - Scarecrow - City of Traitors, Sphere of Resistance, Straw Golem([68] Not sure why you play this deck over any other stax version, although you get 1 point more in the stax mirror usualy)

19. Daveslusher - She's Not Broken... - Mercadian Bazaar, Lavaborn Muse, Incinerate([44] Without black lotus Muse seems a bit slow)

20. Aule - IthyColossus - Darksteel Colossus, Maze of Ith, Sand Silos([44] This deck is realy slow, and since a lot of player had multiple threads or answers to lands, you lost to often)

21. Senadai - Untitled - hickory woodlot - channel - platinum angel([62] Nice deck, i thought it does better, although your main problem is stax, if you played charge land instead of woodlot, your maybe did better)

22. denvermagic - Untitled - Pendlehaven, Thallid, Thallid([64] This deck is kind of funny, but it gave me some headache, cause you need to calculate often who wins)

23. Spyx, Untitled - Irrigation Ditch, Phyrexian Dreadnought, Stifle([56] See 14)

Banned Decks:
*Any deck that can feasibly force your opponent to discard more than 1 card a turn. (The word force here is important. Mind Bomb is still legal, unless combined with Mindslaver)
*Any deck that can feasibly win on the first turn

3-Card Blind (3CB) is a very unique game. The rules are as follows

Your deck is composed of 3 cards, all of which start in your hand.
You have no library (technically, the library exists, but starts at 0 cards) and no sideboard (Wishes fetch nothing).
Random effects always go in your opponent's favour.
You can see your opponent's hand, so you can always make the best possible play.
You don't lose as a result of not being able to draw a card.
You will play each opponent twice, once going first, once going second.
Decks cannot force an opponent to discard more than 1 card in a turn.
For each win, you score 3.
For each draw, you score 1.
For each loss, you get nothing.
Other than the aforementioned, EVERYTHING IS HANDLED EXACTLY LIKE A REAL GAME OF MAGIC!

since this 3cb is across 2 forums, i host the link to salvation for banned discussion.

Tell me what cards you think should be banned.

I am mostly interrested on black lotus yes or no.

(I did some mistakes in not adding banned things to the current list, since there are already some decks submitted i suck it up for this round)

What you think about trinisphere and other stuff...

I saw another form and what they did. They would ban every winning deck + any cards that were played by 1/3 the field or more. This creates a diverse playing field and means that people can't just copy last weeks winning deck agian.
