Deck Description

Yes, the deck has 75 cards and the sideboard is a card over.

It's on purpose.

We're trying to construct a format where power and price have a better relationship, where games feel more dynamic and bombs truly feel "BIG" and surprising, a format that's also maybe for that niche of people who missed the way the gameplay felt at the beginning of their cardboard addiction -- the era where you really had no idea how to brew or play and everything felt new and exciting -- but you still have still have the desire to create competitive brews and play with a competitive mindset.

There is a ban list that we're still working on that has most of the usual suspects you'd maybe expect. You can visit our site or Insta (og_mtg_academy) for the specifics, but for those of you who are just slightly curious, the basic deck-building rules are:

- 75-card min decks
- 16-card max sideboards
- A limit of 10 rare/mythic card slots allowed as singleton (if the card was printed at other rarities, it will count as its lowest rarity. Ex: Gaea's Anthem counts as an uncommon)
- Commons and uncommons are allowed to be 2-ofs
- All companions and planeswalkers are banned. Nothing against the lovers of those cards, but those card and mechanics, once they were introduced, shifted the feel of the gameplay across the board in other formats, and we feel not allowing them will offer players a different type of experience

Our group builds these decks with 1v1 and multiplayer in mind because we have a "tournament"-style format in which both 1v1 and commander-style battle royale matches are played. Rules for a 4-person pool are below for those interested.

Match 1: 4-player game. 1st place = 4 points. 2nd place = 2 points. 3rd place = 1 point. 4th place = 0 points.

Matches 2 and 3: 1v1 games. Winner, loser, draw. Each game is worth 2 points.

Match 4: Final 4-player game. 1st place = 5 points. 2nd place = 2 points. 3rd place = 1 point. 4th place = 0 points.

Points are added at the end. Sideboarding can happen between every match, after matchups are announced.

It's designed this way so that people get a feel for the field and stakes in the first match (know how to sideboard, who to curry favor with, etc.) and then can plot there way through the 1v1 matches to hopefully get what they want in the final battle royale match. It's designed to put more significance on winning the big matches but to make it possible to still win by only winning 1v1s. This is all in the hopes to allow for tons of politics and behind-the-scenes alliances and truces to take place in between.

We've been having a ton of fun so far with our own experimentation, but we're going to start cataloguing and asking the community for help -- as before, it's been casual -- and to actually make what we consider to be our "favorite format," we're actually going to start to try to break the format as much as we can in the hopes to further improve it.
