Deck discussion for Sorin's Soldiers

Okay, could you enlighten me. This is like the third deck I've seen with an instant or sorcery in the Command Zone-is that just a place marker? Or is it something else?

It's for the new Oathbreaker Format, you pick a planeswalker and a signature spell in the command zone.

Yeah, after Wizards designed "Brawl" (which is 60-card singleton but only with standard cards), as a way of helping newer players play both commander and/or standard, the EDH community ran with the idea. You run a Planeswalker as your "oathbreaker" and they have a "signature spell" that you can cast from the command zone while you have your Oathbreaker on the field. As your spell resolves, it goes back to the command zone just like a commander would, and is affected by commander tax. So in this case, I have to have Sorin on the field, and then I can cast Anguished just as if it were in my hand. The second time i cast it, though it costs 5, then 7, then 9.

The format is played largely in 4-player free for all, like commander, and life-totals are 20 life.

Thanks, I absolutely am interested. Our group tends to have few standard players, sothis is all brand new to me-and interesting! Thanks for the link!
