This week is a special week - using two submissions combined. My Favourite Colour Wars:
* Each player must include three cards of the exact same colour(s).
(Colourless is not a colour).
* Mana costs of the chosen colour(s) can be paid using colourless mana.
* If a source you control would add mana of the chosen colour(s) to
your pool you may instead add the same amount of mana of any one colour
to your pool.
* If a source you control would add mana of the chosen colour to your
pool you may instead add twice that amount of colourless mana to your
pool.
Basic Rules
- Your deck is composed of exactly 5 cards, all of which start in your hand.
- Your deck has no sideboard.
- You don't lose as a result of not being able to draw a card.
- You can see your opponent's hand, so you can always make the best possible play.
- Random effects always go in their owner's opponent's favor.
- All other rules of magic remain unchanged, unless otherwise stated.
Tournament Rules
- All matches are played out by the moderator (participants only submit the decks).
- Tournaments are run in round-robin fashion.
- Each matchup consists of 2 games, with each deck going first once.
- Participants earn 3 points if their deck wins a match, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.
- The moderator may confer any number of Deck Awards. Each Deck Award is worth 10 POTM points unless otherwise specified.
Deck-Building Rules
- You may not submit a deck that can win before the opponent's first main phase.
- You may not submit a deck that can force an opponent to lose more than 1 card from their hand per turn
- You may not submit a deck that can generate infinite (or an arbitrarily large amount of) mana on the first turn.
- You may not include a card that is illegal in T1 (Classic). However you may include any number of restricted cards.
- You may not include a card that appears on the 5CB Banned List.
The Banned List
Ghost Quarter
Strip Mine
Wasteland
I play Lotus, City, Digger, you Foil Digger, I end turn.
You play Village.
I play Leveler, and go ape on you.
You play Leveller? That requires use of the Lotus. Which isn't coming back because you don't have a Digger.
So you go very briefly "ape", but it's not lethal. Then Maze of Ith taps Leveller indefinitely because you can't cast Pillage.
Or have I missed something?

As a slightly offtopic aside, I love the mental imagery of this vast, mechanized bulldozer of death being prevented from smashing things to rubble because it's got a bit lost in a maze!
