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 wonkey_donkey in the following format:

Card #1
Card #2
Card #3

Optional Deck discussion, random sucking up, etc.


I'll close entries after 2 weeks. Get your entries in by 11th November 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'm very sorry that this didn't go up yesterday - I didn't check TMD very carefully and thought all this went up next week. My bad. Ah well, one day's missing, that's all.

Results for 3CB#43 will be up later today - although this one doesn't really affect this metagame, anyway .

Has Wonkey_Donkey been eaten by a large Aquameoba or are the results coming soon, but not yet?

I think I can field this one: neither he nor I got online on Friday evening through to today, as we had a big party to organise on the Saturday, and both had screaming hangovers on Sunday. They are in fact done, just not up.

EDIT: Shit, I know what's happened to them: he's done them on my laptop, which is sitting about a minute from me here at school. Note to all: these will (finally) be up tomorrow.

Correct on all counts, although you didn't take into account the fact that my internet's also been down these last few days. Nothing to do with an aquamoeba, although I must remember that excuse for later use. They're up now, anyway - thanks for getting them posted.

I've got 10 decks thus far, and a week's gone past. Second decks will be accepted, even if they have to be later rejected. I'm missing a few stalwarts from my listings so far, so hopefully we'll get up to 15 entrants by this time next week.

Also, WotW2 will start sometime next week, I believe. If you've got any questions before then, please ask and I'll do my best to sort things out.
