i wish this gave more details about the format! would love to know what the overall card pool ended up being, and which decks performed best.
small plug but i run a format of magic of my own, a (non-Commander) multiplayer format that lets players play three games with side boarding. i think it's pretty cool, if anyone here wants to check it out! it's called Coalition, and we have rules and decks at https://mtgcoalition.com https://mtgcoalition.com
- AemusK 5mo agoI like the format, very cool idea. However, this rule: First player draw The first player does draw a card. Not sure if its a good idea? Gives first player a HUGE advantage.
- dfxm12 5mo agoIn a one on one (or two on two) game, yes, it would be a big advantage. Not in a multiplayer game, though.
- adahn6 5mo agoyeah in multiplayer it’s quite different. also note that here, the player doing worst goes first in games 2 and 3, that advantage is an autobalancing mechanic that deliberately gives that first turn plus draw.
- rcxdude 5mo agoThat's actually vanilla mtg rule: multiplayer games have a free mulligan and first player draws. The advantage is smaller with more players and multiplayer formats tend to be self-levelling since people will target the player who's ahead. (There's a theory that a turn one sol ring in commander tends to reduce your odds of winning due to this effect).
