Decks are randomly picked with a D20 roll and flipping over shuffled commanders
Commanders will be shuffled and distributed by flipping the top deck
Commanders will be shuffled between each roll
If your roll is higher than the number of commanders left; they will be reshuffled and flip the difference
Ex: Roll a 19 and only 17 commanders left. Reshuffle the commanders and flip 2.
If you roll a nat20, you get to pick any decks that are available, PLUS the restricted decks
Players must play their own decks if flipped over
If a player rolls a commander they played that session already, they must reroll. Commanders will be shuffled and flipped again until unplayed commander is flipped
First roll for decks will be done based on inverse quarter standings (4,3,2,1) except for Grand Prix, that will be done based on year standings
After the first game, the rolls will be done by placement in the previous game. It will be inverse of the winning order (4,3,2,1)
No collusion outside of game and in-game ‘Kingmaking’
If a player colludes with another outside the game, they will be deducted 5pts first time. Second time they will be kicked from the quarter with no refund
If a player purposefully creates a ‘king’ at the table when they know they are going to die, they will be deducted a point on first offense. Second offense is a session ban. Third is suspension for a quarter.
Making plays that are spiteful, defensive, or attempts to live are perfectly fine. As are in-game negotiations for politics
General League Rules
Each player must submit a 5 decks with links to the deck lists before the 1st of each month
The decks will be locked for the month, but the list will not be
A deck can be restricted or banned
Restricted: Only available on a Nat20 roll
Banned: Removed from card pool entirely for the league
Reasons: Slow play, life gain and people not wanting to concede, etc.
Proxies are encouraged, but have regulations
Proxies must be legible; preferably printed on paper or card
A proxy of a card you own is not a proxy
Land proxies are not counted
Do not proxy absurd lands (ex. Gaea’s Cradle)
Your deck, minus the lands, must be at least half owned cards (proxied or real)
Gold border cards are not proxies, they count as real cards in the deck (added 1/31/22)
If you miss a night and there are still 3 players, the play will happen
It is a bummer you missed, but life happens and does not destroy your chance at winning the quarter or Grand Prix due to final day double points
Each win is 1 point
On Quarter Wraps or Grand Prix events, points per win is 2
2 Headed Giant (2HG) Rules / Layout
Every 3 weeks will be 2HG
Pairings will be 1st and 4th place, and 2nd and 3rd place
Winning pairs of each game will both get a point
Mulligans are not going to be consistently free
You get one free mulligan. After that you have to put back x cards.
Shandalar Mulligan: If you draw a hand with no mana, you may reveal it and then mulligan with no penalty. Your opponents may also choose to take a free mulligan
Amendments
If there is a tie in points going into 2HG night, the players will roll a D20 to decide the overall standings on the year will decide the teams
If this is a tie, then the tie will roll off to see who is placed where for the night. High roll takes the higher slot.
