Chancellor probably belongs on the permanent ban list: The tax as a premise completely warps the entire format around it, and requires every deck to answer it 100% of the time. It's not like other strategies where you need to either have an answer or accept you might draw / lose against it, if you're bad against Chancellor your deck just straight-up doesn't work. First-spell tax effects that which apply unilaterally and don't cost any further resources shouldn't have a place in something like 3 Card Blind.
Been seeing this channel pop up in my recs every now and again but I decided to take the plunge and Wow! This is a really interesting format! Tempted to try and figure something out, though I'm not sure if my brewing skills are up to the task
Glad you are enjoying the content. I also think that for this format in particular, there is no shame at all in "net decking" as the real skill test is figuring out which deck would be best to play. This was a big motivator for building the website, which can help people get started by seeing what was played recently and how it performed.
I did not know the mox vote was happening. I'd have voted ban vote individually. If all are ban worthy, theyll all get banned eventually. However, i agree that without Annex, the moxes are unlikely to require bans
In our discord, there is a quick guide written up by a multiple time champion of this format pinned to general chat. Deck building is a bit weird in this format for sure, so I think the guide is a good place for new players to start.
When does deck submission close each month? Seems like it's after about one week? I'm going to need some time to figure out a new deck after Bitterblossom got the axe (rightfully).
It is also an enchantment (not using activated ability) meaning you need to make much greater deck sacrifices to be able to remove it, while remaining good against the rest of the meta
I am reading between the lines here because your comment seems to have an error in it; I assume you meant "Voting +1 or -1 doesn't make any sense". Giving the community the ability to express a range of opinions allows for the community to gain deeper insight into how certain cards are perceived through the measurements I share in these videos. These votes have no competitive element to them, so it is not like someone voting +1 is at a "strategic disadvantage" for not voting +2. If you ask a group of people "do you like pineapple on pizza?", that question is a binary question that provides less information than "how much do you like pineapple on pizza?", which allows for deeper insights to be extracted from the poll. For example, you might dislike pineapple on pizza, but maybe you are willing to tolerate it over not eating any pizza at all. There is an extremely logical reason why people would want to report their thoughts on cards in a range of responses rather than a binary set of responses. I also would prefer if you do not refer to any members of my community as "regards".
@jiaan100 I did read your second comment. Whether you like the system or not is not important to me. You questioning the intelligence of members of my community and calling them "regards" is disrespectful.
Every month I get closer and closer to actually getting my playgroup to play paper Three Card Blind
Crazy how Chancellor and Jace were just added back only to be banned again. Honestly shows how oppressive they were

The 35 people in favour of unbanning Storm Crow must have all abused the '2x Island 1x Storm Crow' deck before the ban. Good riddance
my proposal for the moxes. At the start of each month, each mox is individually and randomly banned or unbanned.

storm crow is too good XDDDDD
the ban we need
I was going to run storm crow this month. Back to the drawing board
Wow, Lots of bans! looking forwards to next months event

Hyped for the city unban
I would love to see a deck building guide for this format.

@@MTG3CardBlind I'll go check it out, thank you!

Yes, it closes on the 7th of the month. You can also join the discord if you want to get the exact timestamp for when it closes
Aren't there like 3 other variants of the bat?
There for sure was a pirate with the same et, and like, a white worm?
Yes, but shockingly lifelink and flying push that effect over the edge in this format. Mesmeric Fiend is barely playable and the bat was ban worthy.
The pirate is worse because it can't take creature spells.
I was really hoping chancellor was banned because it kills my deck!
Why is bitterblossom so good?
Repeatedly making evasive threats that can also chump block forever end up being really strong in 3cb

Voting +2 or +1 doesn't make sense, only a regard would vote +1 or -1.
Actually I like this system. Let people who don't think have half a vote.
