I'd like to congratulate combo_dude as the winner of 3CB tournament #57. A fine piece of metagaming gave him the top spot by a fairly comfortable margin, and has given rise to a card being banned. Well done!

The margin of victory confirmed that glacial chasm needs to go. Unless you're playing vineyard, discard or artifact removal (often a bad idea, for example in a trinisphere or speed-based metagame), the deck is close to unstoppable, and it is not even beaten by energy field. I wish people the best of luck in breaking jinxed choker, however! As I said in the other thread, I think that it's the only immediate ban that's necessary - for the time being, most of the rest can be left alone. Dreadnaught, Wheel of Torture/Paupers' Cage and Leveler are all far from safe for the moment, although they aren't quite in the league of Glacial Chasm. As for the decks this time, things got very congested about the 45-point mark! Credit must go to Frodo Fett for his high finish with both decks, including a new deck that is a new contender in the metagame. It's good to see some effective innovation coming from him and, to an extent, fadeblue. Nice work.
Please post corrections/discussion - it may make a difference to placings, especially in the middle order!
