3-Card Blind Rules, a qeustion of oppinion?

[Carnal]

Well we on our dutch forum play 3CB,

there is just something confusing

Random effects always go in your opponent's favour.

The thing is in who's opponent's favour.

I'd Say that it should be the owner of the permanent or spell generating the effect.

but others say it should be the opponent of the player controlling the permanent that generates the effect.

We stumbled up on this matter when someone became first by each game donating one of his permanent's which had a negative effect.

I then asked afther reading the rules how can he become first if his deck can't ever win.

to me it sounded obvious that this rule was about the owner... but what do you think ?

If we're talking about a deck like Mana Crypt, Island, Donate, then I would interpret that rule as random effects go against the owner of the card, not the controller. I used to run 3CB here on TMD until my spare time dried up, so I have some familiarity with the rules.

Indeed someone came up with that deck and I agree with you cause the owner of the ability is the person who gets the effect to come in play.

See, when we used to run tournaments we used it the other way around. It was actually a pretty fair deck. 3 Damage per turn, but the opponent has extra mana, it never won but was often in the top choices.
