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 loss, you get nothing.
Other than the aforementioned, EVERYTHING IS HANDLED EXACTLY LIKE A REAL GAME OF MAGIC!

I'll close entries after 2 weeks. Get your entries in by 23rd 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!
Two things to note:
1) I'm away from an Internet connection from Thursday (17th of June) to Monday (21st), so if there's no notice regarding second decks, please send them regardless.
2) Please also note the huge blue text, since wonkey_donkey received several decks last time I ran this thing - he's busy with exams right now so can't really afford the time to run it for two weeks.
