[-----------------------------] POTM TROPHY THINGAMAJIGGER
I realized that I'd never seen a Trivia/Games/Contests thread give out real-world prizes for their online games. I thought it might be interesting to try out.
So, every POTM winner will recieve (assuming they're willing to give me their adress) a customized 3CB trophy. It will be a card from my collection which somehow fits you and will have written on it "3CB POTM WINNER!" and the date.
It's nothing you could sell on eBay but it should be fun nonetheless.
(I'm still working on these)

Also, everyone, Listen Up:
New format for suggesting corrections:
Quote from This is what it should look like »
Player#1's NUMBER- Player Name1 - Decklist 1
Player#2's NUMBER - Player Name2 - Decklist 2
Current Match Score
Suggested Match Score
Explain Why
I'd sincerely appreciate all suggestions being in that format. Having the decklist of what I'm correcting in the post makes things 100% easier for me. Thanks.
ANYway,
Feel free to discuss this week's and next week's 3CB in this thread and post any questions you may have! Good Luck!
Goblinboy, can you fix the numbering? When numbering the decks, you decided to go: 1, 2, 4, 5, etc. Four times, I thought I was correcting, like, 10 matches, but...yeah.
Oh, and Congrats Belgareth!

just think of it as Ankh (you know... an Ankh) More Pork, Ian. That's how I remember it :tongue2: (without the e, anyway)
That's how to remember my name. Or, you could just read the Discworld Novels by Terry Pratchett. I recommend the second method.:)

14 - Ankh-Morporkian: Black Lotus; Hammerheim; Horobi, Death's Wail v.
16 - Lone Warrior: Black Lotus; Glowrider; Rishadan Cutpurse
Current Score: 2-2
Suggested Score: 6-0
If he plays the Glowrider, I can get around it. If, after I play Horobi, he plays the cutpurse, I sac Hammerheim, and just race him.
EDIT: BTW, the no-first-turn-kill rule...Is that by the end of the opponent's first turn or your first turn? Because I've thought of several decks that kill by the end of my opponent's first turn.
Well, there is Vedalken Orerry, but that would be your full deck.
