New Commander Formats!

With the release of Edge of Eternities comes two new Commander Formats, Two-Headed Giant, & Box League.

What Is Two-Headed Giant Commander Night?

Two-Headed Giant Commander Night is a new Commander event in which players can earn promo cards by pairing up to battle other two-player teams. Each player has their own 100-card Commander deck, but they share a 60-point life pool. Play follows the normal Two-Headed Giant rules.

What Is Commander Box League?

Offered during the Prerelease period, Commander Box League is a Sealed event in which players open a Play Booster box, build a 60-card Commander deck, and play in Commander Box League games throughout the Prerelease period.

Players purchase a Play Booster box as part of entry. Games are played with normal Commander rules, but deck building follows modified rules for Commander Box League.

Commander Box League Deck Rules

After players open their Play Booster box, they construct a 60-card Commander deck from the contents. Buy-a-Box and Commander promos may not be used in deck building.

• Decks may include multiple copies of cards opened from the Play Booster.
• Any legal commander opened is allowed.
• Color identity rules in deck building are ignored; players may build decks with any colors they want, regardless of their commander’s color identity. Note: commander color identity still applies when cards refer to color identity (for example, with Arcane Signet).

Players may adjust their decks between games using cards from their Play Booster box.

As the Box league is a large upfront cost, it is not something I see happening at the shop, but should we get at least 4 players interested I will run it. Tentatively I have it scheduled to start on the 31st of July, it would be an every other Thursday event.

The first Two-Headed Giant event is scheduled for the 7th of August.
