I remember loving this game, and I currently have loads of time to host it. However, I don't know how many people would really be interested in it.
So here's an experiment: I'm going to post the rules and banned list from the last 5CB, ages ago, and if I get more than 10 submissions before Thursday, at 3PM, EST, I'll go ahead and post results by next Saturday.
No special rules, no POTM, just an experiment to see if this is popular enough to start up again. If anyone has suggestions about other things I should do, such as cards that need to be banned, or anything else (assuming this is still popular enough to run), feel free to post them in the thread. Or you can PM me ideas for special weeks.
Due to the special circumstances involved, I will not be participating this week, except as host and judge, but I plan to play in the future if it works out.
Basic Rules - Your deck is composed of exactly 5 cards, all of which start in your hand.
- Your deck has no sideboard.
- You don't lose as a result of not being able to draw a card.
- You can see your opponent's hand, so you can always make the best possible play.
- Random effects always go in their owner's opponent's favor.
- All other rules of magic remain unchanged, unless otherwise stated.
Tournament Rules
- All matches are played out by the moderator (participants only submit the decks).
- Tournaments are run in round-robin fashion.
- Each matchup consists of 2 games, with each deck going first once.
- Participants earn 3 points if their deck wins a match, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.
- The moderator may confer any number of Deck Awards. Each Deck Award is worth 10 POTM points unless otherwise specified.
Deck-Building Rules
- You may not submit a deck that can win before the opponent's first main phase.
- You may not submit a deck that can force an opponent to lose more than 1 card from their hand per turn
- You may not submit a deck that can generate infinite (or an arbitrarily large amount of) mana on the first turn.
- You may not include a card that is illegal in T1 (Classic). However you may include any number of restricted cards.
- You may not include a card that appears on the 5CB Banned List.

Again, deadline is Thursday, 3PM EST. Results will be posted that same day, or else on Monday, due to the prerelease, but will normally be posted on Saturday.
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.
'Welcome to Mafia Salvation', it said, 'Population: 3,660.' And someone, they never figured out who, had painted on the sign in red letters: '1,831 to lynch.'
Sort of, I guess. With Tabernacle out, you can only present 24 damage, and if they present 2 blockers or a Preacher for 1 turn, you lose. Better than nothing most of the time, though.
