MTG EDH SPARK DOUBLE COMMANDER DAMAGE PLUS
You may cast your commander from the command zone for its normal costs plus the " commander tax", an additional for each previous time it has been cast from the command zone this way (initially 0 additional cost). Before the game begins, each player sets their commander aside in a special zone, the command zone. Ī player's commander works differently from other cards in the game. The 1v1 Commander format on Magic Online used to follow the same banned list, but it now has its own. A player's choice of commander determines which other cards can be played in the deck (while except for basic lands, each card in the deck must have a different name).Īn official banned list for the Commander format is maintained by the Commander Rules Committee at, not by Wizards of the Coast, though Wizards does approve of any changes made to it by the rules committee. Each player starts at 40 life, and each player's deck is headed by a legendary creature designated as that deck's commander. Description Ĭreated and popularized by fans, the Commander variant is usually played in casual Free-for-All multiplayer games, although two-player games are also popular. It is a Highlander-variant eternal format with specific rules centered around a legendary creature called the commander. I'm fine with them being legal but I wouldn't care if they weren't legal.Commander, as officially titled by Wizards of the Coast (also known as Elder Dragon Highlander or EDH), is a casual multiplayer format for Magic: the Gathering. Therefore these cards do break the rules and it forces the RC to either change the rules or piss off WotC which they don't want to ever do because they have already sold out to WotC.ĮDIT: I would also be ok with cards like that being banned in EDH because they break the singleton rule.
WotC doesn't make the rules for EDH, the rules committee does. It's one of the reasons why brawl is so different than EDH (the other two being 1v1 and 60 card decks)įinally those cards aren't about breaking the rules because WotC designs the cards AND the format that they are played. Changing what is allowed to be in the command zone changes the format. These cards also do not go into the command zone. These cards were meant to break the rules in other formats and not specifically commander. So since these cards were made a while ago they weren't made with commander in mind because WotC didn't really support commander yet. Those cards are built for other formats and have been around for a while (take away seven dwarves but that was mostly made for flavor reasons and not format specific reasons). Mdfcs can only be your commander if the front face is a legendary creature.Ī couple differences with cards like that. Hellkite courser, that steals from the command zone, would bring in the front face only and give it haste even if the front was an equipment.Įdit: it was a mistake. But if there is one, it would make for some weird interactions. So far there are no MDFCs legends that are not creatures on front. And that's frankly bizarre considering these cards are meant to be the front face in every zone except stack or battlefield. Mostly obvious, command tax applies to the card itself, and you can cast either side from the command zone.īut oddly Sheldon says that even a MDFC that is a noncreature on the front, and legendary creature on the back is still a legal commander. If both faces are creatures, both faces will deal commander damage in combat. For example, if you cast Valki, God of Lies and it then dies, casting Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor will cost 7BR and recasting Valki will cost 3B. Command tax is applicable to the card itself, regardless of which face you cast. You may cast either face from the command zone.
If a Modal Double-Faced card has a legendary creature on one face, the card can be your commander. If a Modal Double-Faced card has a legendary creature on its front face, the card can be your commander. Edit: in case anyone missed it, the correct ruling has been updated
