Well, my university is out for summer break. Sorry for the rest of you who are still learning it up :(
Congratulations to Zhou_tai, a brand-new MDV player for winning round #6!
Some updates you will be interested in:
1) Force of Will is banned. Mogg and I have been talking about this all week, and looking at this week's deckbuilds, its easy to see that decks are metagaming around one card - Force of Will. The card is degenerate, so we're banning it.
2)Mishra's Workshop is being placed on the watch list. This may come as a shocker to everyone, but Workshop decks have always done extremely well. I'm going to be watching to make sure that they aren't doing too well.
I was in a slight hurry when I calculated PoTM points this morning. Check your score to make sure it is right.
If you have any questions about 3CB that this thread can not answer, please check out these (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=5310) three (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=5700) articles (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=7544), written by GoblinBoy back in the 3CB hayday.
I've also written two primers on 3CB lands, which you can find here (http://www.magicdeckvortex.com/mdvarticle0212.htm) and here. (http://www.magicdeckvortex.com/mdvarticle0232.htm)
My first 3CB metagaming article can be found here. (http://www.magicdeckvortex.com/mdvarticle0240.htm)
Good luck everyone!
