      It did not, I am actually not familiar with Caleb Gannon. This format is much older than this community though and its creator is unknown, so you might have played 3 Card Blind somewhere entirely unrelated to this community. A lot of the format's history has been lost to time, but I did create a video covering some of the format's earlier years here if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/2V23jDbz1Lk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_9Tk-qxj0PTbw4VW

      @MTG3CardBlind got it! I've got some homework to do :). I recall in this community we came up with a "loser's variant", have you heard of a version like this? Our idea was you swap decks with the opponent before playing, with the condition that your deck has to technically be able to goldfish an opponent that plays nothing. I found that version even more interesting and we held some tournaments. Not trying to derail, just share. Cheers.

    Ehh the last few bans here have sucked imo. Chancellor feels like a terrible ban. The loss of path and Cen’s tactition over the last few bans kinda just killed anything I’d want to do with interacting with this format.

    • @MTG3CardBlind
      @MTG3CardBlind 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Can you help describe what makes Chancellor of the Forge a terrible ban so we can do a better job in the future? I will also say that Student of Warfare and Unwanted Remake are not that far off from Cenn's Tactician. Sorry to hear that some cards you were personally attached to are influencing your interest in the format. I would like to remind you that bans are intended to be temporary in this format with the exception of the most egregious offenders. I believe that Chancellor of the Forge, Path to Exile, and Cenn's Tactician are all the types of cards that are healthy to have banned sometimes because they overshadow many other options, but they are not so offensive that I think they will remain banned forever.

    • @Living_End
      @Living_End 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ just too many bans. It’s not really fun when ever month we ban top decks and some months we unban cards that have no business seeing the light of day again. While the data part of the format is interesting the ban frequency part of the format totally upending the format is too much. It feels like the best decks just keep getting banned before anyone could adapt.

    • @MTG3CardBlind
      @MTG3CardBlind 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@Living_End Your perspective makes sense. I think this month though, Chancellor of the Forge (especially in combination with Foil) is something players have had well over a year to adapt to at this point. Chancellor of the Forge + Foil is literally the most popular deck of all time, and Chancellor of the Forge itself is the third most popular card of all time (and have claimed pod and event wins across many different months). Either way, this is all driven democratically. There is a maximum number of bans every month, but zero bans has always been an option. You are certainly not obligated to champion your personal philosophies to convince members of the community to vote a specific way, but if you want to see fewer bans, sharing your opinions in the game balance discussions on the discord as well as consistently voting yourself is the only way you might see change. As it stands, the outcomes of every ban vote reflect the sentiment of broader community. I hope you continue to engage with the format and this TH-cam channel, but this format is built around relatively frequent ban list changes driven by a democratic process. This will sometimes lead to outcomes that are undesirable to you personally.

Whether bi-monthly or quarterly, it would give people a chance to consider the current meta once there's data and make them A more informed on bans and B more time to dwell on the current meta.

      I think the fact that is has been so ubiquitous for so long is part of the reason why it wasn't banned.

      Imo a meta without Hexdrinker is just a meta with another high-powered one-drop. It used to be Cenn's Tactitian, and when that got banned, it became Hexdrinker. If Hexy gets banned, it will most likely become Heartfire Hero or something.

    Just a small request, can you please go back to discussing the pods in order of increasing elo? I understand the appeal of trying to group the decks themselves, but at least for me it makes it much harder to get a sense of the meta--what did well at low elo compared to what did well in higher elo groups

    • @MTG3CardBlind
      @MTG3CardBlind 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah, it is definitely a trade off. The challenge with going through them in order of Elo is that for something like Hexdrinker + Wasteland, I would then have to announce the deck 5 times separately, with increasingly less to say each time. Covering these in order of Elo would have utility, but I believe it would be at the expense of natural flow to the video structure. I think for folks that want to get a deeper sense of meta differences across Elo ratings, the website will be a more useful tool than the videos can be.

    Congrats to all the winners! Seeing Demolition/Serene Remembrance do well was so far beyond my radar that I really was shocked to see it. I was one of the ones who dismissed it about 2 months ago as being unviable, but now I have to gauntlet it again lol As for bans, I'm really only down to ban Wasteland. Curse of Silence might be a 0 for me, but the rest deserve to stay. With Chforge and Hexdrinker, I feel like we're on a slippery slope of banning things that are healthy but because of other bans, now seem stronger than they were. We said with Ocelot Pride last month (and Cenn's Tactician the month before) that if we ban it, other one-drops will be viable. Now we're saying the same thing with Hexdrinker. If we ban Hexdrinker, I bet we'll be saying the exact same thing about SCF, or Student of Warfare, or Heartfire Hero, all of which are *still viable* with Hexdrinker (or Pride) in the meta. We need good one-drops in the format and we're slowly banning them all out. Ultimately I submit to the will of the people, but I feel strongly that we shouldn't ban Hexdrinker, that Chforge isn't problematic, and that Shortfang deserves one more month.

    Ok so let's ban Boseiju, it's oppressive against tapped lands. Let's unban Wasteland instead 🤡

    • @MTG3CardBlind
      @MTG3CardBlind หลายเดือนก่อน

      Although at a surface level banning Boseiju and unbanning Wasteland seems ironic, Boseiju is by far the safer card and has had a much higher average performance. Boseiju rarely has matches where it is a dead card because it can also destroy artifacts and enchantments. Even into pods that had relatively few nonbasic lands, it tended to perform reasonably well. Wasteland on the other hand can completely fail to realize value, which is part of why its historical average score is so low compared to how resented the card is. The purpose of the ban list changes was not to eliminate nonbasic land destruction, it was to make sure that when a player choses to run nonbasic land destruction, they are taking a meaningful risk when they do so. Boseiju was far too safe of a card, and Wasteland is not nearly as consistent.

    • @minervadetauro7646
      @minervadetauro7646 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree unbanning Wasteland is stupid, Boseiju is honestly more oppressive, you don't need to commit it to the board first and it doesn't only punish non-basic lands like Wasteland, it also heavily punishes artifacts, which are a big presente in the format

      @@MTG3CardBlind I appreciate the reasoning, you make some good points and I understand it is hard to get this kind of nuance in the video. I would have thought that the 1G activation cost makes for such a significant deck building restriction that it outweighs the benefit, but I think that time (and the data from the tournament this month) will tell, whether I was right in that or not.

    ⬇ Ban Updates full recap below ⬇ Submit your decks for the 3 Card Blind October Main Event Here: www.3cardblind.com/participate/deck-submission *Anointed Peacekeeper:* Anointed Peacekeeper had the most negative average opinion among cards voted on this month by a significant margin, and consensus on the card was strong. It has been a historically strong and consistent performer, and this month it became one of the top decks, claiming many wins. Decks that attempt the shut the opponent out of the game on turn one will continue to be a big part of the format, but we generally don’t want to see those types of decks becoming the best ones. I think this ban will lead to a healthier format. - *Stingerback Terror :* Stingerback had a relatively flat vote chart, with a mostly even distribution of opinions on the card with different levels of conviction behind those opinions. I think that this month made it clear that in the current meta, Stingerback was by far the best at what it does. There are many other big dumb threats that can be turbo’d out on the first or second turn, but Stingerback was uniquely positioned to dominate this month. I think this is a card that could make a return in the future though, it feels like what it does is not inherently problematic, it was just a bit too good into the current playing field. - *Boseiju, Who Endures :* There were many folks that strongly wanted this card to return to the ban list, with nearly as many -2 votes as Anointed Peacekeeper got. Interestingly though, there were far more people who were undecided on Boseiju. I think that we have enough evidence to see that it performs very well and very consistently across the past few months. Given that Boseiju is such a safe choice, it is easy to understand how players might be frustrated that they feel they can be punished for running tapped lands like depletion and storage lands by opponents that are not taking a meaningful risk doing so. - *Steel Overseer :* Nothing too exciting to say about the votes themselves on this one. Generally, it seems that the community did not feel it was worth it to defend the legality of this card. We have gotten to see Steel Overseer time and time again, and it has become one of the more popular threats in the format. With it gone, we might get to see other cards paired with Ancient Tomb. Another thought is that with Steel Overseer gone, we may have cleared the playing field to unban City of Traitors in the future. - *Ocelot Pride :* This was the most controversial card on the vote this month, with very few players being indifferent or undecided. We saw peaks at both +2 and -2, which indicates that there was a split in the community about how this card ought to be handled. I think the schools of thought could be boiled down to people who believe that one drop threats still carry too much power (and Ocelot represents the current best performing one drop) and players who believe that one drop threats are at an appropriate power level with decent diversity among choices. I think there were compelling opinions on both sides, and at the end of the day, the majority opinion is the one we respect for the ban vote. - *Nezumi Shortfang :* This card went from being hardly played at all to reviled as one of the strongest two drops in the format practically overnight. Prior to April of 2024, the card was only submitted 3 times, and even during April, the month where it earned itself the ban in the first place, it was only submitted 7 times. The format has changed a lot since then, so it will be interesting to see if Shortfang will live up to the expectations players have for it, but it does seem sensible to give this card another chance to gauge whether it has a healthy place in the meta. - *Wasteland :* This card was last legal in October of 2023, and we are welcoming it back to the format a full year later. Wasteland carries with it a stigma of being a toxic card, which I think is in part driven by negative experiences players have had with land destruction in formats other than 3 Card Blind. Interestingly, even a year ago when this card was banned, it had a modest 52% average score. The existence of the card and possibility that it shuts certain types of decks out of the meta was more offensive than its actual performance. However, back in 2023, powerful colorless cards that could be paired with Wasteland like The Rack and Chronomaton. I think in the present day, players will have to make more significant deck building trade offs if they want to leverage Wasteland. I am very interested to see how players choose to play with, around, or even ignore Wasteland this coming month.

      Yes, but most of it is at 2 mana. Soul Partition and Smallpox come to mind first for me.

    It would would be intresting if we banned moxes/ fast mana that is colored. It would make decks like Stingerback terror take 2 turns to deploy.

      This would definitely be interesting, but would represent a colossal change to the format. We have never done something like that before, but my current thoughts are that we could discuss massive changes like as an annual event.

    If anyone can find the part of the video where there is a baby cry in the far distance and share the time stamp, I will award you with a gold star emoji in the comments. It is very quite, and I tried to edit it out, so you can only hear it for like 0.1 seconds. Good luck 🤣 If no one finds it before the ban vote ends, I will edit this comment and share the time stamp here.

You know that this is as slow-paced a format as they come, and you've nailed the vibe in your video styles. Fantastic work :)
