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 lose, you get nothing.
Other than the aforementioned, EVERYTHING IS HANDLED EXACTLY LIKE A REAL GAME OF MAGIC!
To make an entry, PM your deck to me in the following format:

Optional Deck discussion, random sucking up, etc.
I will calculate the first 20 entrants who I receive, or I'll close entries after a week. Get your entries in by 7th June 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! I had written down a list of all bannable cards, but have lost it, so please let me know if things should be banned.
I'm sorry this is so late - I meant to get this up last thursday, but due to a major technical fault my internet has been down since wednesday afternoon. I'm only able to use the connection periodically, too, so I've extended the period of possible change to 48rs. I hope this works after all this, though!
