I'd like to congratulate r_x_, Discozombie, and Chifley as the winners of 3CB Tournament #63! Pretty close at the top - nice to see three totally different decks making the top spot.

The main feature here, I would say, was the distinct lack of removal; this left the decks that were all about one big threat to really shine (although the Preacher deck did reasonably well for itself, too). Things should now be back to normal - university starts soon so I'll be back into a regular rhythm with posting the results.

Last time I built this deck was in the land of Black Lotus being legal.
