To ensure everyone has a fun and balanced experience, we recommend bringing a couple of different power level decks. This way, you can adjust to the overall strength of your pod. Before the game starts, engage in a \"Rule 0\" conversation with your fellow players. This discussion allows everyone to set expectations, agree on power levels, and ensure the game is enjoyable for all. By being considerate and communicative, you contribute to a welcoming environment where everyone can have a great time. We are always happy to do our best to accommodate pod preferences as well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; font-family: var(--strong-font-family); text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eCOMMANDER\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eThis format is for four players per game and deck sizes are 99 cards + 1 commander card. The game duration for this format should be about 20 minutes per player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eThe Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout \u003cem style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;\"\u003eMagic's\u003c\/em\u003e history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; font-family: var(--strong-font-family); text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eCOLOR IDENTITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eA card's color identity can come from any part of that card, including its casting cost and any mana symbols in its text. Every card in your Commander deck must only use mana symbols that also appear on your commander. Colorless cards are allowed as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; font-family: var(--strong-font-family); text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eCOMMAND ZONE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eThis is where your commander resides during the game when they are not in play. At the start of the game, each player puts their commander face up into the command zone. A commander can be cast from the command zone for its normal costs, plus an additional two mana for each previous time it's been cast from the command zone this game. If your commander would be put into your library, hand, graveyard or exile from anywhere, you may return it to your command zone instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; font-family: var(--strong-font-family); text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eCOMMANDER DAMAGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eA player that's been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same commander over the course of the game loses the game. The commander is tracked across zone changes for this purpose (for example, if one player takes control of another player's commander, any damage that commander already dealt is still counted).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; font-family: var(--strong-font-family); text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003ePLAY FREE-FOR-ALL MULTIPLAYER\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eIf you're playing a game of Commander with three or more people, you play against each other in a free-for-all multiplayer format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eEach player starts with 40 life, places their commander face-up in their command zone, and draws a hand of seven cards. Players are seated randomly in a circle and turns progress one player at a time in clockwise order around the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eDuring gameplay, a player may choose to attack any other player, regardless of their position on the table, and can also choose to attack multiple different players during their attack phase. Permanents, spells, and abilities can also target any player around the table (as long as they don't explicitly say they must be used on \"you\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;\"\u003eNo matter the outcome, Commander gives players the tools to express themselves through strategy, skill, and a whole lot of deck building fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BGE's Tabletop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50073277399286,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/2009\/6246\/files\/Logo-Magic-The-Gathering_544250b5-2c60-4036-a594-572e03b46b0f.jpg?v=1767138441","url":"https:\/\/bgetabletop.com\/products\/commander-casual-03-07-26","provider":"BGE's Tabletop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
