The deadline for round 3 has passed, but I'll need a few more hours before I can post decks, so if someone still wants to submit, that's possible for a few more hours.
Let's find out who made the worst deck. I think it might be me.

I have updated the Google Spreadsheet for the season, so you can enter your scores there as well: url]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dEcNolWwENd5pJQhcrdAypX2P5If-sqZ-qEEfOUW2-E/edit?usp=sharing[/url]
Note for the Bannathon:
With 8 participants, the top 4 scoring decks for this round will be banned for next rounds.
So if you want to start brewing for round 4 already, keep that in mind.
Asthereal scores for round 3:
1. Asthereal (TO): that's me, uninspired Workshop deck Mishra's Workshop, Trinisphere, Ensnaring Bridge, Scalding Tongs.
2. Whoshim: Chasm only works once eveny two turns, but you don;t need it as your damage thingy races mine. 0-6
3. Wrath of Pie: OTP I can Trini and you Mine my Shop for a draw. OTD you Therapy my Bridge and I just lose. 1-4
4. apple713: I don't have enough time to cast Bridge and empty my hand, so the Servant just kills me. 0-6
5. GoblinSmashmaster: OTP I play Trini and lock you out. OTD you lock me out with Deal. 3-3
6. Tylert: OTP I play Trini and lock you out. OTD you get a Vial into play, drop Myr to attack and then tick Vial up to 3 for Deputy on Bridge. 3-3
7. FTW: Leyline stops my wincon and Bridge stops yours. 2-2
8. H: OTP Trini wins it, OTD you Blackmail me and I don't see a way to not lose. 3-3
Total: 12 points. Ouch.
2. Whoshim: Mishra's Workshop, Crucible of Worlds, Glacial Chasm, Scepter of Empires
1. Asthereal (TO): Mishra's Workshop, Trinisphere, Ensnaring Bridge, Scalding Tongs 6-0
3. Wrath of Pie: Strip Mine, Mox Jet, Chronomaton, Cabal Therapy 0-6 Therapy rips out my win con.
4. apple713: Mishra’s Workshop, Mox Emerald, Time Vault, Voltaic Servant 0-6 Nice deck!
5. GoblinSmashmaster: Ancient Tomb, Mox Jet, Dark Deal, Dread Wanderer 0-6 Dark Deal gets me.
6. Tylert: Chancellor of the Tangle, Aether vial, Myr superion, Deputy of Detention 0-6 Deputy gets me.

8. H: Mox Jet, Blackmail, Underground Sea, Judge's Familiar 3-3 My scepter outraces your bird.
9 points.
@Asthereal I should have moved away from Chasm. It didn't help me at all. :D The deck that I sent as a replacement would have done pretty well this week.

Looks like a few of us wanted a crack at Mishra's Workshop before it gets banned.
I thought about doing Time Vault+Voltaic Key, but Shops can't activate Key so it needs another mana source and then where is the win con? Completely missed Servant!
1. Asthereal (TO): Leyline stops Tongs, but Bridge stops me. DD 2-2
2. Whoshim: Thought you had me until I realized you can only Chasm every 2nd turn, letting me attack in between. WW 6-0
3. Wrath of Pie: Chrono gets to 5/5 before Lurebound can kill you, so OTP I lead with Trini and you Strip me to draw. OTD Chrono beats me. DL 1-4
4. apple713: You take infinite turns. OTD you win. OTP I get down Scarecrow first to block so you can never attack. DL 1-4
5. GoblinSmashmaster: OTP Trini locks you out and Scarecrow gets there. OTD Dark Deal gets me. WL 3-3
6. Tylert: OTP Trini locks you out and Scarecrow gets there. OTD Vial sneaks through and then your creatures trump mine. WL 3-3
8. H: OTP Trini locks you out and Scarecrow gets there. OTD Leyline stops Blackmail and Scarecrow still gets there. WW 6-0
22 points
Edit: I expected Trinisphere to win more games. Turns out Trinisphere is bad when 4 people have Workshop.
It's still early here and I haven't had my coffee yet, but I think I can work at least a Draw when I am on the play, because you can't protect both Workshop and Scepter from Blackmail and taking either means you either can't cast the other or can't win. But that seems like I'd win, maybe. Obviously I'd lose on the Draw though.

Win: 73.81%
This was probably my favorite deck submission out of all the rounds, even in season 1. Time vault is one of my favs and I finally found the perfect opportunity for it. It'll only see one round but it was totally worth it.

Yeah, I was about to mention that you could only have Chasm once every two turns without paying life, which is bad, and try to steer you towards the other deck, but I felt I shouldn't do that because I would lose twice against this Chasm deck but score points against your other submission. So mentioning that Chasm is dubious would be bad sportsmanship on my part.
GoblinSmashmaster scores for round "ban Mishra's Workshop":
*Dark Deal wins every game on the play since no one has a hand left.
1. Asthereal (TO): Mishra's Workshop, Trinisphere, Ensnaring Bridge, Scalding Tongs
Trinisphere wins. 3-3
2. Whoshim: Mishra's Workshop, Crucible of Worlds, Glacial Chasm, Scepter of Empires
Neither Crucible nor Scepter can save you. 6-0
3. Wrath of Pie: Strip Mine, Mox Jet, Chronomaton, Cabal Therapy
Therapy for Mox Jet wins. 3-3
4. apple713: Mishra’s Workshop, Mox Emerald, Time Vault, Voltaic Servant
I never get a turn. 3-3
5. GoblinSmashmaster: Ancient Tomb, Mox Jet, Dark Deal, Dread Wanderer
That's me!
6. Tylert: Chancellor of the tangle, Aether vial, Myr superion, Deputy of detention
Vial is too slow. 6-0
7. FTW: Leyline of Sanctity, Mishra's Workshop, Trinisphere, Lurebound Scarecrow
Trinisphere wins. 3-3
8. H: Mox Jet, Blackmail, Underground Sea, Judge's Familiar
Edit: Contrary to my Limited experience, apparently flyers don't just race, they can also do this thing called "block". 4-1
Total: 28 points
I knew that Chasm could only work every other turn when I said that it did work. I knew it was bad, but Workshop was sure to get banned, so this was my only shot to really try a deck with it. I don't know why I like the card so much, but I do. Now, the question for you is, will my deck next round be similar to the second list I sent to you, or will I do something else?
H, I don't know why I thought it said "non-land" card. You are correct. It should be 3-3.
H: (Mox Jet, Blackmail, Underground Sea, Judge's Familiar)
1. Asthereal (TO): (Mishra's Workshop, Trinisphere, Ensnaring Bridge, Scalding Tongs)
Blackmail gets there on the play, lose on the Draw. 3-3
2. Whoshim: (Mishra's Workshop, Crucible of Worlds, Glacial Chasm, Scepter of Empires)
Blackmail gets there on the play, lose on the Draw (I think this is a recurring theme.). 3-3
3. Wrath of Pie: (Strip Mine, Mox Jet, Chronomaton, Cabal Therapy)
I actually think I lose both on the Play and the Draw, because Blackmail can't stop Chrono + a mana source. 0-6
4. apple713: (Mishra’s Workshop, Mox Emerald, Time Vault, Voltaic Servant)
Blackmail gets there on the play, lose on the Draw. 3-3
5. GoblinSmashmaster: (Ancient Tomb, Mox Jet, Dark Deal, Dread Wanderer)
I definitely lose on the draw, on the Play I can force a draw by blocking the Wanderer with Familiar. 1-4
6. Tylert: (Chancellor of the tangle, Aether vial, Myr superion, Deputy of detention)
Can't win in any case. 0-6
7. FTW: (Leyline of Sanctity, Mishra's Workshop, Trinisphere, Lurebound Scarecrow)
Leyline wrecks my bad deck. 0-6
8. H: Bye, myself.
10? Man, last minute deck ideas are even worse than my usual bad deck ideas...

Preliminary standings for round 3:

Cabal Therapy
Chronomaton
Dark Deal

All scores seem confirmed, so the above becomes final standings and bannings for round 4. Speaking of which...
Round 4 of 4CB Season 2, the Vintage Bannathon, has started!
I have PM'ed myself my deck for round 4, so you can start sending me your decks.
You will find standings for round 3 and new bannings based on results from round 3 in my quote above.
DEADLINE FOR ROUND 4: Wednesday the 8th of May, at 6:00AM Central European Time.
(That's my time. Just send me the deck Tuesday evening latest, you'll be fine.)
PLEASE NOTE:
- The way you send your deck to me matters. Please send it in the way described below, so it doesn't cost me an hour of editing before I can post all the decks.
Please send your deck as follows: Goblin Guide, Mogg Fanatic, Pithing Needle, Cavern of Souls (so with card tags around each card, and not above eachother), with your Username and 4CB S02R01 in the topic. Many of you already did this for previous rounds. Thanks a lot, this really saves me the time and hassle of copying and pasting text and tags!
- The banned list (you'll find it in the second post and in the Google Spreadsheet). So keep an eye on what you send in.
After the deadline has passed, I will post all decks on the forum here, and you can start puzzling out your scores.
If you have any questions, please read the first two posts of this thread first. If you can't find the answer there, drop a message here. We'll answer a.s.a.p.
Also, the Google Spreadsheet has been updated: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Happy deck designing everybody!
PS. Full disclosure: Wrath sent me his deck early (he's probably busy the next few days). We will score 3-3.

It is probably worth noting that this is the first round that war of the spark will be legal. It becomes legal on May 3rd.
