Change NUMBER 1) See it on 'News NO LONGER! I said on that thread last week that I didn't think anybody was reading it on News, and since nobody replied to contradict me, I'll assume I was right.
Change NUMBER 2) There will be the following additions to the ban list: Nullstone Gargoyle, Treetop Village, and Wasteland.
Change NUMBER 3) This 3CB is going up on October 9. Then there will be one on October 16, 23, and 30, and November 6th. Then there will be a quick one that will go out on November 10th. That 3CB on the 10th will be the 85th 3CB I've moderated (88th if you count WotW, 96th if you count Bleague) and will mark my calculating 3CB for exactly two years. And then I'm done. I will be retiring as 3CB moderator at that point. I just don't enjoy it as much as I used to and it takes a lot of time. If you're interested in being the new 3CB mod, let me know by posting in this thread or PMing me and I'll get you set up before the 10th. Do realize that it's a lot of work and it's not easy at first, so you'll be making lots of corrections at least the first few weeks.

Also, everyone, Listen Up:
New format for suggesting corrections:

Suggested Match Score
Explain Why
I'd sincerely appreciate all suggestions being in that format. Having the decklist number 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!
I never play 3CB anymore but I do read it. I realize how much work you have done for it GB. You do it well too. So for that I thank you for all the work you have put in. Good luck to whoever takes over.
Perhaps we could compile a list of people to host? That way one person doesn't get swamped/can have an off week when theyre busy, and we have many different/interesting formats. I'd be willing to help with that... if theres enough people.
I agree with the bans. At first I was going to say ban vineyard, but Vineyard without village can be fun without being overpowering. Village is worthless without vineyard.
I'd be willing to help out, but I'd probably make quite a few more screwups.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, the wisdom to know the difference, and a ****ing chainsaw.
Though I'd like to not that I thought of it befoer your little overlook article thingy went up. The first time I saw that card I though that's gonna own in CB.

i had a feeling that there was no way that a deck based around non-basics was going to win. i liked it a lot, though. now that Wasteland is finally banned again, it'll have better chances, even though without Village it isn't legal anymore.
thank god wasteland is out. treetop's the only DEADLY nonbasic anyway, besides factory of course.
3 land green might see play again.
also, i thought of doing channel gargoyle, but i couldn't get myself to do so for some reason, and now i see it was quite prevelant. meh, too bad i suppose.
speaking of too bad, sorry you're going gb, this is only my second week so i feel like i missed out on the fun. oh well, good times were had by all while it lasted (like how i combined two phrases to make one really awkward and bad one?)
Goblinboy is not going to be doing it anymore? =(. Truly a sad day indeed.
On the other hand I, I love how when I finally sumbit something thats good, it loses to the broken decks =(. Argh, I'll never win another 3CB.
EDIT: And some corrections:
Me: Lion's Eye Diamond, Wasteland, Roar of the Wurm
vs.
2 - halinn: Black Lotus; Last Rites; Nether Spirit
Current: 1-4
Suggested: 2-2
10 - Shadowlord: Black Lotus; Nether Spirit; Pox
Current: 0-6
Suggested: 2-2.
I tie both. I simply hold my hand, since if they both play their discard spells, I can make my Wurm and we both draw, since I can't trample over and kill both while his Spirit keeps regenerating.
I'd like to thank/curse GB for moderating so long, and starting a forum craze that (as my banner shows) I have come to love/loathe. Even though 3Cb was never my favorite CB, I still appreciate your contributions.

When he goes 1st, he uses Last Rites to make you discard your LED. Now you can't do anything, and he beats you with a 2/2.
