I hope you enjoyed this week's challenge. Before I go, I have a fun thought exercise for everyone. This Sunday, I will be playing in the 5-color Invitational, and one of the formats for the event is the “Three-Card Deck” event. The basic rules of this format are simple:
choose any three cards legal in 5-color
there is no draw phase
you play two games against your opponent, one with you going first, one with them going first. If you get more wins than your opponent, you win the match.
nothing is restricted and the only banned cards are cards that make a player draw cards, discard cards, or counter a spell (thus, Balance, Pyknite, Foil, Blackmail, and Seizan would all be banned, but you could play 2 Black Lotus).
The format is incredibly fun, and I'm very much looking forward to it. There are a ton of great decks out there already, and I have one in mind for the format, but if I use your deck, I will mention it here next week. Here are some sample 3-Card Decks:
If I manage to win, some version of my 5-color invitational card will see (unofficial) “print” as a homemade card to be given as prizes for future 5-color qualifiers for 5-color Worlds. Here is my current version.
Yllus, Musechaser
GU, 2/3 Legendary Wizard
At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a counter from a permanent you control or Yllus Phases out.
Whenever you play a spell, if it shares a name with a card in play or in any graveyard, put a creativity counter on Yllus.
Remove a creativity counter from Yllus: Counter a spell if it shares a name with a card in play or in any graveyard.
I already e-mailed him the classic Form deck- it probably is the most powerful legal deck he can play (since I assume that he can play Show and Tell, he can play Form). I hope he takes heed ot it, though...
Still, pretty impressive that he mentions 3CB...
