3CB #7 is open for entries! Congratulations go to Xero, winner of 3CB #6. Decklists and results for previous 3CBs can be found at the wiki. Please add your results for 3CBs #3-5 if you entered, this time for reals. The wiki password is "3cbthesource". I'll fill in the remainder once much of the results are in, but I'm sure as hell not going to do all of it myself.
Entries for this round close at 23:59 EST on Friday, November 16th. I'm thinking of making this a regular weekly thing -- entries close on Friday, next round opens right after while people calculate and discuss the previous one. What do you think? To enter, send your deck by email to thesource3cb at gmail. Preferred format for submissions:

I won't even log in to the account until the deadline has passed, but if you're paranoid, I'll be posting the MWS security code for my own deck within the next few days and you can wait for that.
Lorwyn is legal! Thoughtseize is not.
-- Rules of 3CB --
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 nor own any cards outside of the game. (Wishes fetch nothing.)
Random effects always go in your opponent's favor. (This includes Chaos Orb and Falling Star. If controllership of something with random effects changes, they go in favor of the player who doesn't own it.)
You can see your opponent's hand, so you make the best possible play. (If both players' taking an action would cause that player to lose the game, then neither player takes any action, and the game is a draw.)
You don't lose as a result of not being able to draw a card. (If cards are put in your library, you draw them as normal. Effects which require you to skip a draw work as normal.)
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 or her hand in a single 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.

SummenSaugen: well, I use Chaos Orb, Animate Artifact, and Dance of Many to make the table we're playing on my chaos orb token

I definitely would like to see it as a weekly event ! I don't think the format would get boring, since it allows for some different strategies, and thus for a changing metagame...like, virtually no-one expected the last two winning decks (LotusLotusDefiler, LotusVaultSwallower) !

Why e-mail submissions rather than PM? The latter is much more convenient, and I think would increase turnout.
Early one morning while making the round,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down;
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.
Because I'm not an Adept and only have room for 20 messages in my inbox -- of which 13 are, at the moment, already taken. (Turnout often exceeds 20, anyways.)
Otherwise, yeah, I agree. It'd be nice.
EDIT -- So, the MWS security code for my deck is 9D0BCFD6.

Ask the mods to give you a bigger one to help these tourney.

There's about a day and a half left, so get those entries in!

I'd like to try this, but I don't think there is anything I could come up with that hasn't already been tried. Could I just post a sample list in here of something I think is viable and maybe get some feedback on why it's not, or should I just send you the list no matter how janky it turns out to be?
In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers.
probably the latter. janky decks are fun and if your deck did great then thats fine and if it didnt you will get a feal for the format and do better next time.
Call me Ishmael
Done. I didn't even look at past lists. I didn't want to be influenced in any way. Like I said it's nothing too clever. We'll see how it pans out.

My first entry as well, I looked at a few different ones, and this deck will most likely get rolled...oh well.
Yup, the switch from pm to email was why i retired.Originally Posted by SpatulaOfTheAges
Really? Whats so hard about sending an email?

If I had had access to a computer sometime between last night and tonight I'd have edited my list. Ah well.

This really is a strong deck, it seems. So many decks just can't handle a consistent clock of three damage per turn (or rather, a second one after they deal with the first). Didn't expect all the Glowrider decks, nor this drawback of Chimeric Idol; would've been better off using Steel Golem.
As usual, add your results. Wiki, password 3cbthesource.

18. Wow. Note to self: Planeswalkers suck in 3cb. I thought I was doing alright for a while until I realized that all those decks with recurring/unkillable 2/2s could just assign their damage to Chandra, and kill.
I think (some of the) Planeswalkers could do pretty well in a storage land deck, alongside Tabernacle or Maze or something.

9. etrigan - In That Order (Discrepancy)

WW: 36 points
This how I think it goes:
1m: factory
1y: Lotus hunter
2m-6m: charge d reef
2y-6y: beat for 14
7m: yoink t hunter: begin factory beatdown
7y: O ring hunter
factory ftw?
(if you just play the lotus, then I will eventually be able to confiscate it)
10. SpatulaOfTheAges - Disco Super Fly (Discrepancy)
Black Lotus
Swamp Masquito
Maze of Ith
WW 42
If you just play the ith; I will eventually confiscate it: otherwise similar to match above?
11. Versus -
Isamaru, Hound of Konda
Karakas
Aether Vial
DD 44
12. Sacearuse - Basic Plains?
Mishra's Factory
Snow-Covered Plains
Swords to Plowshares
WW 50 points
50 Points? Would appreciate it if someone would look over my results, first
3cb and am not 100% sure they are all correct.
@etrigan: It's DL for you, not WL. If I play Glowrider on the play, you can't do anything, and if I play it on the draw it trades with Hunter since you can't Ring it.
I have 29 points, disappointing as I got beaten by very basic decks (like Plains, Factory, Swords...). I was expecting a lot more of the good decks from the last rounds, like Defiler, Swallower, or Bridge/Tongs...
By the way...what is the Aether Vial for in the following deck ?
Isamaru
Karakas
Aether Vial
