Welcome to 3 Card Magic, the world's best minimalist Magic format! What's 3CM? The basic concept is simple: make a deck consisting of any three Magic cards, and try to beat all the other decks! If you're new here, you should start by reading the 3CM Primer. Deck submissions should be PM'd to me, CommanderJim, or emailed to [email protected].

Hello! Welcome to the Selesnya Conclave! I know your first day here can be a little overwhelming, but don't worry. I'll show you around. See that scruffy guy over there? That's Gary. He was a nervous recruit just like you a few weeks ago, and now he's a trusted member of the team! In fact, just last week, he saved our medicine shipment. This mysterious hooded woman stopped us on the road. She said the route wasn't safe and refused to let us go any further. Fortunately, Gary knew a detour through the undercity. Sure, it was a little damp and musty, but we got the supplies delivered on time! And that's what matters, right? But don't worry about getting everything right on your first mission. Take Gary as an example. On his first mission, he was meeting an immortal member of the ghost council when some Golgari shamans attacked. They transformed the ghost lord into a wild beast! Gary ended up killing it to keep it from causing havoc in the streets. He got a bit of a lecture afterwards about diplomacy and the sanctity of life, but it was a tough situation. Everyone makes mistakes, you know? The key is to not repeat them, which is why our Izzet liason Mark got us some robotic artillery to give us some extra security in future missions. Anyway, let's take a five minute break. I'm gonna go see how Gary's medicine run went. Sorry to keep you waiting. Apparently they ran into that strange hooded woman again, and once again they had to go through undercity Golgari territory to get around. Gary sure likes going down there, huh? It's almost as if... no, I'm sure it's nothing. Let's get you prepped for your first mission, shall we? Bans: Commandeer, Elixir of Immortality, Elspeth Tirel, Summer Bloom Unbans: Encroach, Inquisition of Kozilek, Lotus Bloom, Tidehollow Sculler The unbans this season include a lot of discard effects. With the discard rule changed, these spells are a lot less dangerous, but the Sculler might just be good enough. Lotus Bloom will enable some powerful turn-4's, and I'm curious to see if it's fast enough to impact Vanilla Lands. The banning of Summer Bloom removes a powerful source of ramp in that format, and the Elixir ban removes an entire type of deck from the field. I'm not really sure what any of this means, but I'm excited to find out! Let's play some 3 Card Magic! New Round: Vanilla Begins Wednesday, February 22nd Ends Friday, February 24th

we've gone so minimalistic, there's no more season numbers in the thread title anymore (also there are still recursion engines that are playable for vanilla lands, they just don't cost 1 mana and don't come with elixir's lifegain so that route is a lot worse) |

I'm not sure I'll be able to make a deck for this round or for the next one, I'm going skiing for a week this Saturday. I'll try, but things are a bit hectic right now. |

Edit: So looking back through older seasons, I found that I banned Inkmoth Nexus in Season 18 as part of my 2nd place prize. Has it really remained banned since then? |

Vanilla rounds are easy to mail in a minimal effort on. You can get others to score for you if you'd like but actually getting fewer submitters at this point could be the death knell. |

So... right now we only have four decks. I'm in the middle of another busy weekend, so I'm not sure what to do about that, but I definitely don't want to close the round right now. |

I hate to say it, but I no longer have the motivation to figure out what it takes to keep this going. I'm officially stepping down as 3CM host. If someone else wants to take the reigns, I might be able to help in smaller ways. Otherwise, we'll all just have to take a break for now. I do want to thank everyone for their participation. Running this for the past few years has been great, and I hope I'm able to do it again someday. I'll post the last spreadsheet tonight or tomorrow. Winner takes all. |

Is it just me or does Edacade's deck lose to itself if he ever plays Hunted Horror? --- Congratulations Spy on being 3CM champion. |

Congratulations, Golgari_Spy! You won 3 Card Magic! The usual awards don't make sense here, so... have a cookie! |

I base this on the fact that there are people in my playgroup who complain about having to do math while running certain decks that they quizzically find fun (despite not having fun thinking about the math). Also on the fact that my submissions are/were always from a list of 3CM decks that I have put together because I think they have interesting interactions, in contrast to winning interactions. |

Unless my mtg is extremely rusty, that means they can block the 7/7 without being damage and they can attack without it blocking them. Thus as long as one 2/2 blocks every turn and the other attacks every turn they can't lose. And since Edacade doesn't have something else it's just a mise deck. This was my last reason for visiting the forum... Guess I get to leave then. |

Hunted Horror has trample. Even with protection, "lethal damage" for a 2/2 Centaur is 2, so the Horror can assign 2 damage to the Centaur (which will be prevented) and 5 to the defending player. |
