Magic the Gathering in/around Nagoya & Mie マジック
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 6:01 pm
Hey all,
I've been getting back into MTG, especially the VERY fun multiplayer "Commander" format.
The problem is, most of the people I played with have moved far away or stopped playing.
SO...
I will throw several decks together.
Let's play!
マジック： ザ・ギャザリングをしましょう！
If you'd like to make a deck of your own, be my guest.
If you don't have the cards, feel free to use printed proxies.
(You can get clear card images to print from here.)
What is Commander?
(1) A great multiplayer format (3-4 players works best, IMO. 1-on-1 can be fun, too.)
(2) Build a 100 card deck choosing one legendary creature to be your commander.
(3) The commander is (almost) always available to come in and kick butt.
(4) Your deck uses only the colors of the commander.
(5) Singleton -- meaning, only ONE of any given card in the deck (the exception being basic lands). This is one of the most fun parts because it means every game plays out differently and forces you to use a real variety of cards.
(6) Start with 40 life instead of 20.
(7) Play cards you never get to play! Other formats need quick decks, and many fantastic cards never make the cut because they cost too much mana. But in Commander, even SLOoooooW cards like Mindleech Mass can be easily played.
**Full rules can be found here.

Resources
1) Great guide to building a Commander deck.
2) Deck ideas & full deck lists
3) Card ideas <-- The "Top 50" cards in each color
4) Preconstructed Commander decks from Wizards
