Deck Building Basics
• Use a preconstructed deck, an upgraded precon, or a deck built to be similar in style and power.
• Decks should feel like a “precon + improvements,” not fully optimized.
• Commander: Cannot be on the Commander Game Changers list.
• Deck power: Leaning toward Bracket 3 — interactive, some synergy, fun gameplay.
Budget Guidelines
• Total deck value: EUR 150 (basic lands excluded)
• Basic lands: Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, Forest
• Non-basic lands / Snow lands / Wastes: Count toward your budget 3.
Gameplay Expectations
• Games should last 6+ turns
• Allow interaction and fun for all players
• Avoid decks that lock out other players (heavy stax or heavy control)
Light stax/control allowed: Small taxes or single counterspells (Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, Negate) Heavy Stax: Decks that lock out or prevent other players from taking meaningful actions over time are discouraged
Infinite Combos & Alternate Wins
• Infinite combos and extra-turn effects are allowed, but should generally function as lategame finishers, not early-game win conditions
• Extra turns: Single extra turn is fine. Repeated/looped turns are discouraged
• Transparency: Let the table know when starting a combo or alternate win condition. You are not required to explain your deck ahead of time, but a clear warning helps keep games inclusive and interactive
• Alternate Win Cards: Approach of the Second Sun, Revel in Riches, Maze’s End, poison/infect
• Immediate/early alternate wins: May incur a small scoring penalty if before turn 6 5.
League Points
• 1st: 4 points
• 2nd: 3 points
• 3rd: 2 points
• 4th: 1 point
• 5th+: 1 point
Ties / multiple eliminations: Each player gets lowest applicable point value Scoring penalties: Small deductions exist for early combos or alternate wins (before turn 6) Organizer Discretion: Some penalties may be applied based on pod feedback
Quick Tips
• Keep it fun and friendly
• Decks should encourage interactive gameplay
• Use the full rules document for details on penalties, clarifications, and budget verification
