I've decided to start 3CB#11, because with 21 entrants, I have to judge 84 matchups based on the way that the matches work. It's taking a bit of time.
This week is also a special round - it's a Suspend round, but not in the way you all were thinking of a Suspend round in 3CB #9.
Here's how this round works:
In addition to all the other rules of 3CB, this round, two new rules applies:
1) Your deck must contain a card with the word suspend in its rules text.
2) Your deck may only be Standard legal - that is, it may only contain cards from the Time Spiral block, 9th Edition, Coldsnap and the Ravnica block.
I'd like to see what you guys can come up with provided these limitations. It's sure to be a fun round
Let me also tell you that I am reading your suggestions very closely for special rounds. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
If you have any questions about 3CB that this thread can not answer, please check out thesethreearticles, written by GoblinBoy back in the 3CB hayday.
I've also written two primers on 3CB lands, which you can find here and here.
My first 3CB metagaming article can be found here, and the follow up to that article can be found here.
Good luck everyone!
--------------Submission Deadline--------------
Please, PM your decks to Death_By_Beebles at either MDV or MTGS. The deadline for submission is 12AM EST July 14h, 2007.
--------------Rules and Submission Guidelines--------------
Your deck is composed of 3 cards which all start in your hand.
Your library contains 0 cards and you don’t have a sideboard (Wishes fetch nothing).
Random effects always go in your opponent's favor.
You can see your opponent's hand, so you make the best possible play.
You don't lose as a result of not being able to draw a card.
You play each opponent twice; once going first and once going second.
For each win, you score 3 points.
For each draw, you score 1 point.
For each loss, you score 0 points.
Three rules restrict the kind of deck you can send. They are:
1.You may not submit a deck that can win before the opponent's first main phase.
2.You may not submit a deck that can force an opponent to lose more than one card from his hand per turn.
3. You may not submit a deck that uses a card on the 3CB banned list.
Other than the aforementioned, everything is handled exactly like a real game of Magic.
If you want to play, PM me a message with a heading similar to " 3CB Round #X", where X is the current round number. The format for the message should be:
Deck Name
Card #1
Card #2
Card #3
--------------Current Banned List--------------
All Ante cards
All Promo cards not available on Gatherer/Autocard
All Unglued and Unhinged cards (excluding basic land)
PS: I've added a little extra time for this round, due to the nature of the restrictions, and for anyone who won't be at home for the July 4th holiday.
It was banned before anyone ever used it, I think.
Yeah, but this week's banned list was changed because of the Standard restriction. I'm pretty sure I didn't see Barren Glory on there, so I was wondering if it was purposeful or just an oversight.
Of course, it could've been me being blind. That's happened quite a few times :sweat:.
Hrmm...i predict the metagame to consist of mostly arbor/suspend control decks and lotus bloom based decks. Let's see which ones win out!
Seems like a narrow format though, with roughly only 30 cards to choose from as your requisite suspend card, most of them unplayale due to the nature of 3cb
I'm going to cut the time a little short - If I don't get another entry from either MDV or MTGS between now and tomorrow, July 11, at 12AM EST, I'm starting the results.
It's okay to be anxious ;). For all you slackers out there - stop slacking! Send in your list!
a few problems with that sort of deck. firstly, strip mine is not in standard, so it's not available. the closest thing is ghost quarter, and that is on the banned list anyways. second, the card searches your library for those lands, so you'll need a card to shuffle the LD back into your library. thrid, it's not a forest. fourth, you still need a win con =/
Some of you may have been in shock since we invaded Canada and Mexico, but fear not, it was for a good cause. Now that we conrol North America, we produce an extra 5 armies a turn.^_^

3CB and 4CB5CB!If your read my original post, you'd see that I'm still running the results
I really am doing my best to get everything done in a timely fashion, but I'm in over my head a little. They will be done soon, I promise.
How about now?
the word "suspended" does contain the word "suspend" yes?
Therefore whatever you're planning should be fine. The way he said it is the rules text has to contain the word "suspend"
Correct sir!
You are free to use any card provided it has suspend somewhere on the card. It can be part of a bigger word.
You could use Lotus Bloom, and beat down with your awesome multicolor 2/2, with Dryad Arbor backup.

Objection!
No - it was on the list originally.
Also, I had no idea you tried to submit it. I haven't looked at the lists.
Even if it were, you have no library to speak of, so why would you want to play it?
It's okay to be anxious ;). For all you slackers out there - stop slacking! Send in your list!
Strip Mine, Lotus Bloom, that: do it again in 3 turns?
It's the best I could think of.
Objection!
