Mana Addicts 2024-25 EDH League Format / Guidelines

Format

1. Each player will submit 5 commanders per month
   a. The commanders are locked, the lists are not. This means you may make changes
   to the lists mid month. Please update lists when you do to keep it as an even field
2. Before each game every player will have a deck “striked” from their options on the night.
   a. Example: I have decks A, B, C, D, and E. The other three players agree to vote
   out deck A, so I will not be able to play deck A that night.
3. A deck cannot be striked out out back to back nights. This will be tracked by the
   tournament manager
   a. Example: Last week I had deck A striked out for the night. This week deck A
   cannot be voted out.
4. The deck to strike out will be voted on by each player
   a. Example: I have deck A, B, C, D, and E. Player 1 votes to strike deck A. Player 2
   votes to strike deck C. and Player 3 votes to strike deck A. The vote is 2 for A and
   1 for C. A has a majority vote, so it is striked out.
5. The majority vote on the deck wins. If the votes is spread 1 for each deck, then the owner
   makes a decision on what to strike
   a. Example: I have deck A, B, C, D, and E. Player 1 votes to strike deck A. Player 2
   votes to strike deck B. and Player 3 votes to strike deck C. The vote is 1 for A, 1
   for B, and 1 for C. This is a dead tie, so the owner of the decks gets to decide if
   they want to strike out A, B, or C.
6. Each deck will have a “number” given by the owner, and the players will roll a d4 to
   decide.
7. Players must play the deck they roll, regardless of whether or not they played it
   previously
8. Commander Damage is live
9. Points will be awarded in golf scoring
   a. So 4 th gets 4, 3rd 3, etc.
   b. If a combo kill happens, knockouts will go in turn order
   c. We will track quarter and yearly points
   d. Lowest points each quarter win the quarter, and lowest total over the year win
   yearly
10. If you draw a hand with no lands you get a “Shandy”
    a. This is a free mulligan, and the other players get the option to use it as well
11. Deck roll will be decided by standings, lowest on the night gets first roll
    a. If there is a tie, roll off for it
    Banned / Restricted List
    These cards are banned unless you own a black or gold border copy of them:

Guidelines

1. Monthly fee of $10 per player is due on the 1st of the month. Winner of each quarter will
   get $120 store credit at Deal Me In Games
   a. If you need a delay or are having issues coming up with this we can work
   something out. I do not want to cause discourse or lose friends over money.
2. Commanders need to be submitted by the 1st of the month
   a. Lienance for this depending on when the end of the month falls
3. You must own a single copy of ½ of the non-land card in your deck
   a. Proxies are a full send for owned and not owned, you just must own a physical
   copy of half of the non-land cards in the deck
   b. Lands are allowed to be proxied
   c. Gold bordered cards count as real
   d. Lands you must own to proxy: Gaea’s Cradle, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
4. All proxies must be printed
   a. Handwritten proxies are going to be hard to read in person or remote, and will not
   show up in the card reader. If printed with fake front, it will be legible at least
5. If a player(s) miss a week then it is on them and the rest will continue to play.
   a. Remote play is an option but must be a majority vote, playmats must be fully
   visible, cards must be 90% legible.
