This Saturday the Huntingdon and Chatteris MtG Group that some of my ex-students set up will meet up at their usual location of Huntingdon Library and play what I call a No Holds Barred game of Commander.
Usually the group plays with the usual Commander rules, plus the social contract of
- No mass land destruction
- No infinite loops
It’s not a big list but one that hopefully makes the games enjoyable for everyone even if they lose.
But the game Saturday those rules are off the table, you can play mass land destruction, you can go infinite. Plus one or two of the regular Commander rules get suspended. Your Commander can be a Planeswalker (not just the ones that have the text allowing them to be), and there is no ban list.
My entry into this game will be a slightly tweaked mono red mass land destruction deck.
I’m looking forward to seeing what the others have in their decks of hate. I’m also hoping that there will be a chance to give the new goblins tribal deck an outing.
