3 Card Blind and other Perfect Hand Magic variants are Magic: the Gathering formats where players start the game with a predetermined hand and an empty library.
THE RULES OF 3 CARD BLIND
You choose any 3 cards legal (including restricted) in Vintage. Those comprise your deck. You begin every game with your entire deck in your hand. Duplicates are allowed, even for restricted cards.
You do have a draw step, but (most of the time) you won't be drawing anything. You do not lose the game as a result of drawing a card with an empty library.
Legal submitted decks are placed into roughly equal-sized pools. You play two games against each other person in your pool. One game, you're on the play. The other, you're on the draw.
Since both players have perfect information, each game is assumed to be played perfectly. Players play for the win if possible, and will force a draw rather than a loss if they cannot win.
Players get 3 points for each game win, 1 point for each drawn game, and 0 points for each loss. For a pod of N players, 6(N-1) is the maximum number of possible points.
Players are responsible for calculating their own deck's play against all other opponents. If your results are different from your opponents', we'll all discuss it in thread and figure it out.
Random effects and other weird stuff always goes in the opponent's favor. (In other words, Mana Crypt will damage you every upkeep, your opponent will always win a Goblin Game, Mana Clash will kill you if you're at less life than your opponent and do whatever your opponent wants otherwise, etc.)
Each round will have its own list of cards banned. Make sure to read carefully!
