Gameplay[edit]

Commander is a format where players construct 100-card decks, with each card except basic lands appearing no more than once. The format is primarily played with four players, each with their own deck. Players also choose a legendary creature or Planeswalker to be their 'Commander' or 'General' (a Planeswalker must be designated as allowed to be used as a Commander), which begins the game in the 'Command Zone'. Each player's deck is based and built around their Commander's colors. In addition to the same losing conditions that exist in a normal game of Magic, each player starts the game with 40 life points instead of 20, and a player may lose if he or she is dealt 21 or more total points of combat damage from a single Commander throughout the game.^[3] Commander is most commonly played in groups of four, but larger groups do happen. A one-on-one variant on the Commander rule set has been rising in popularity.

Commander also has its own 'banned list' of cards, separate from any other format.^[4] A list of the recommended banned cards in the format can be found on Wizard's official page here

Variants[edit]

• Commander is often played in conjunction with existing gamemodes like Two-Headed Giant, Planechase, and Archenemy.
• Duel Commander got its origins from Level 5 judge Kevin Desprez, who brought the initial idea of Elder Dragon Highlander to France from the USA, before it spread across Europe and now over the rest of world. The game is played by two opponents only, starts with 20 health points, and obeys the same rules as a regular Magic The Gathering game, one commander (or commanders with Partner ability) plus 99 (or 98 with Partners) cards in the starting library. The mulligan system is the same as for sanctioned formats, and the construction rules follow the same color identity rule as the multiplayer version does. The rules and updates are currently published on a Facebook page using notes.
• Magic Online 1v1 Commander is Wizards of the Coast's attempt at creating a variant of Commander. The format utilizes a banlist created by Wizards that differs from that of the Rules Committee and is played almost exclusively on Magic: The Gathering Online.
• Brawl is Wizards of the Coast's second attempt to create a Commander variant. Brawl utilizes all cards that are currently legal in Standard and has a rotation schedule similar to Standard's. The format is commonly played as a sanctioned event on Magic: The Gathering Online, but also has a following that plays the format physically. The format was not received by the players due to the rotation of older cards in standard.
