TANE :: Scylla and Charybdis Keldon Megaliths / Maze of Ith / Black Lotus / Argothian Elder / Leyline of Sanctity I get the feeling you didn't know that Maze of Ith doesn't produce mana. On the plus side, Maze caught everyone off guard enough that it singlehandedly kept you from losing a single game.
Antonia :: Quest for the Rusted Relic Ensnaring Bridge / Ancient Tomb / Karakas / Elixir of Immortality / Ferropede Ferropede was an interesting meta choice; I'm not sure what you were aiming at with it, but it's not awful in general. Not as great as you might have hoped, this round, though. There's no reason to run Ancient Tomb over City of Traitors in this deck, though (not that it ended up costing you anything).
Error1 :: option select Black Lotus / Black Lotus / Blood Moon / Rakdos the Defiler / Glowrider Problem with Glowrider is that so many people meta against Chancellor these days that Glowrider doesn't do much. Nevertheless, this deck came THIS close to winning it all, so nice job.
Congratulations to Antonia and Whammwhamme for winning 5CB 3.27!
Next week is Zombie Apocalypse week! Each player will send, in addition to a regular 5CB deck, a bid between 0 and 5, and an "undead" deck consisting of 5 cards minus the number of their bid. Each round, the player with the highest bid will be the "undead" player and will play with their undead deck instead of their regular deck, but will also begin the game with Endless Ranks of the Dead and 2 Walking Corpses in play.
Deck submissions are due at 10pm EST on Wednesday, 11/16/11.
Wit's End is the PERFECT answer to your opponent's Monomania however.
Just hold on to your Wit's End when they Monomania, so you can Wit's End them on your next turn!!!
I think this is fairly reminiscent of the "Jace Battles" we have seen in past standards.. My guess is we will soon witness the great Monomania-Wit's End battles.

it's ok. I did horrible even this round.
I 0-6 everyone but Error1, whom I 2-2.
I actually did get it, I just missed it. And also I missed XScorpion's submission on the same date. Sorry about that. I've posted the two other submissions, and will start working on matches directly. Shan't take long.
why do you think I didn't know that Maze of Ith doesn't produce mana?
Because Keldon Megaliths is not a win condition in your deck. You can use it once if you don't play Elder, to kill an X/1, but that's it. Elder can't make more than one extra mana for you because you only have one mana-producing land.
EDIT: Okay, scoring is complete. Feel free to look for the inevitable corrections that I'm sure will be necessary. I don't really see how Feyd does as badly as he said he does.

You missed how his deck works: He attacks with the Elder, taps it to untap Megaliths, untaps it with maze, taps it to untap maze and megaliths... it's an infinite damage combo.
Which, by the way, means he 6-0's X-Scorpion, as he infidamage kills him on turn 3.

This should be 6-0; Elixir reshuffles the Karakas back in, Bridge locks out the three white creatures, Ferropede goes the distance (shuffle Elixir in in upkeep, draw it, swing, recast it).
This should also be 6-0 ; Factory is slow, Crack the Earth only takes out Karakas (which shuffles back in with Elixir), and Ferropede goes the distance.

did better then I expected, with all the anti annex I expected lands to be popular and lotus to be good again. Would have easily won if I had a good win condition, beacuse I don't think I ever played rakados or stopped anything with glowrider.

You win actually - because of glowrider. You should 6-0 1 with Glowrider, rather than 4-1.
Correction: 1v4
Listed: 1-4
Suggested: 0-6
On 1's play, he can play 1 land.
If he plays Karakas, then 4 lays down Blood Moon first, to stop karakas, then glowrider.
If he plays Pendhelhaven for the chance to kill blood moon, then 4 can laydown Glowrider without threat of karakas, and then cast Bloodmoon.
This keeps 1 from floating a G to cast Natures Claim, since it'd cost 1G.
Either way, 4 gets Blood Moon and Glowrider out, play or draw. 1 can't do anything, and Glowrider swings to victory.
EDIT:
Next Round
Can we ban Leyline of Singularity for next week?
Otherwise it's a total buzzkill for those who go the Undead route.
(Destroys the creatures you start with, and any later tokens)
Incorrect correction. I play Pendlehaven. If he leads with Glowrider, Blood Moon now costs 4 and he can't play it, I drop Karakas, he loses horribly. So he actually loses outright on the draw.
Wit's End is the PERFECT answer to your opponent's Monomania however.

Which I believe, should it not be furthur edited, makes it the first time an IRL couple have shared victory in a card bind. Which I think is pretty cool.
This completely slipped my mind, but since I've only gotten two submissions so far this week, I'm going to leave it open until tomorrow night just to make sure anyone who wanted to play can play.

Corrections for Antonia:
Antonia :: Quest for the Rusted Relic
Ensnaring Bridge / Ancient Tomb / Karakas / Elixir of Immortality / Ferropede
Ferropede was an interesting meta choice; I'm not sure what you were aiming at with it, but it's not awful in general. Not as great as you might have hoped, this round, though. There's no reason to run Ancient Tomb over City of Traitors in this deck, though (not that it ended up costing you anything).
vs
XScorpion :: Who wins in a fight between Popeye, the Spot, and the Hulk?
Karakas / Isamaru, Hound of Konda / Steppe Lynx / Undiscovered Paradise / Student of Warfare
The answer is Popeye. Nice deck.
This should be 6-0; Elixir reshuffles the Karakas back in, Bridge locks out the three white creatures, Ferropede goes the distance (shuffle Elixir in in upkeep, draw it, swing, recast it).
Feyd_Ruin - Carefully designed chaos
Leyline of Sanctity / Mishra's Factory / Mox Ruby / Crack the Earth / Tabernacle at Pendral Vale
Lots of good tech in this deck, but unfortunately aimed at a lot of stuff that just didn't show up this week. If the Leyline had been another threat, you'd have improved your score by a lot.
This should also be 6-0 ; Factory is slow, Crack the Earth only takes out Karakas (which shuffles back in with Elixir), and Ferropede goes the distance.
also lol @ tane for trying my combo
You win actually - because of glowrider. You should 6-0 1 with Glowrider, rather than 4-1.

I'll make the correction to 1v4 as WW called it. That puts WW and Antonia into the lead at 16 points.
This completely slipped my mind, but since I've only gotten two submissions so far this week, I'm going to leave it open until tomorrow night just to make sure anyone who wanted to play can play.
Sorry for the delay.
