What is 3cb?
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.
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!

I'll close entries after 2 weeks. Get your entries in by 27th October and I'll calculate. As I said, the banned list may change within 48 hours of this post going up. After that, it stays as it is. This is not a reason to withold your decks, though - this is not a particuarly serious format! If something's broke, please fix it whilst we can!
OK - sorry about all this mess, everyone! Now I'm moved in and I don't have Fresher's Week occupying every living, breathing moment, so things are genuinely back to normal. Bear in mind that
Ravnica is NOT legal for this tournament, but from the next one onwards it will be legal. Also, as noted previously, I'm pretty unfamiliar with Ravnica cards, so if there's anything too good then let me know. I will reserve the right in the next tournament to refuse a deck on account of it being too good, if it includes Ravnica cards.
Let's get back to work!
