A - SALAd - Disenchanted with the Wages of War, we beat our Swords into Plowshares
Fountain of Cho, Kataki, War's Wage, Swords to Plowshares/Disenchant
Whole lotta drawin' going on. My only highlight is that my deck 2-0'd the eventual winner.
B - jcsuperstar - Losing is for losers
Tropical Island,Daze, Force of Will/Thallid
Too many decks had multiple/uncounterable threats to mise this time around.
C - WhammWhamme - Happy to help.
Swamp, Mishra's Factory, Scalding Tongs/Duress
Duress did its studly duty for the most part, but not a lot of gas going 2nd
D - !Chucklez! - [Deckname][/Deckname]
Savannah, Mishra's Factory, Swords to Plowshares/Naturalize
Good mix of utility for main/side.
E - Chimpanzee - The Village
Treetop Village, Vineyard, Maze of Ith/The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
A lot of decks could deal with TE this time around.
F - Tahn - Good old artifacts
Mishra's Workshop, Steel Golem, Steel Golem/Chalice of the Void
Metagame'd! Two sides of beef got past most anything that got throwed at it (except Kataki... ) Gratz!
G - worthawholebean - Losing Your Momentum
Black Lotus, Show and Tell, Bringer of the Green Dawn/Confiscate
It wouldn't be 3.5 without worth trying to break Show and Tell. A little better showing this time around. What can I say: Show is a crapshoot.
H - r_x_ - Randomizers.dec
Mishra's Workshop, Ferropede, Culling Scales/Wheel of Torture
Again with the multiple threats.

Okay. POTM July begins this week. I'm refreshed and ready to go. Let's start with no theme. No special format to start. To encourage a variety of decks, I will keep Treasure Hunter and Eternal Witness on the banned list for the time being.
Don't forget the rules of 3.5CluB:
1) Nobody talks about 3.5CluB
2) ...
Each player submits a deck with a total of four cards in this format:
Each match will consist of two games, each player playing first. The player playing second will play the two fixed cards and the maindeck card. The player going first may choose before his first turn whether to play his maindeck card or his sideboard card.
(Again, only the player going FIRST may change the card)
As in all CB games, the entire deck is in your hand, you don't lose to decking, and each player gets to see the other's hand, so not only does each player make the best play possible, the sideboarding player may select the better card of the two. Also, random effects go against the
caster
Banned List:
The Rack
Form of the Dragon
Trinisphere
Balance
Strip Mine
Wasteland
Glacial Chasm
Blackmail
Coercion
Cabal Therapy
Mesmeric Fiend
Abandon Hope
Nezumi Shortfang
Pulse of the Dross
All ante cards
Any card that forces your opponent to discard more than 1 card a turn.
Any non-mass-produced card (Proposal, 1996 World Champion, etc.)
Unglued
Unhinged
And, as usual, No Cheese(TM) (No multi-discarding, no 1st turn kills)
You must have messed up the results. Everyone knows that !Chucklez! doesn't do well in CBs. :-P

You really just need to embrace the rage. I keep a small colony of hamsters next to my computer and every time I lose a match to mana screw I throw one against the wall.

Have you received my entry? It's still unconfirmed and I sent it 4 days ago...
