For this league, we decided to do a Precon Commander league. 

Here are the Deck Rules:

   1. You can buy one from the Game Store or you can bring one you already own, so long as it is unaltered. 

   2. You can also borrow one of Rudy's but they cannot be altered during the entire league. 

   3. You can change which deck you use in the league, but any deck changes must start as an unaltered precon

2. Each week, you will buy a booster for entry to the League Play. 

3. You may use the cards opened in your entry pack to alter your precon deck, except for week one. 

4. If you change decks during the league, that new deck must be unaltered. You can only use cards from the current League Play Day to alter any decks. 

Games will be played in 3-4 player pods, preferably 4. 

During the game, you will use the provided score sheets to record any points you gain. 

After the game, you will email a picture of your score sheet to events@kingslabyrinth.com

Prize support:

1: Pods - No prize support for pods. 

2: League -    The league entry fees go towards the league prize pool. 

Prizes will be awarded for most league points as well as League Favorite Opponent!

Prize pool will be calculated and announced based on PAID entries. Prize pool will increase, and be announced as increased, as players pay their entry fee. 

Every pod you report gets you a ticket into the end of league raffle. 

The End of League Raffle will be done at the League Celebration in December. 

Raffle prizes could be Magic cards, Magic products, playmats, deck boxes, sleeves and more! 

House Rules

• • Infect damage is 15

  • Put on a clock - A player can be put on the clock if the rest of the table believes they are taking too long to play their turn. A 5 minute timer starts once they are put on the clock. When that 5 minutes ends, the current player's turn ends. 

  • At the end of each league period, players will be polled to see if any points need to be adjusted or if items need to be added/removed. 

  • House rules will be evaluated after each league and changed as need/requested by the majority of the league players. 

  • All players of a League pod MUST be league members and play as if they were trying to gain points, even if they have already played their two pods. Any league member playing in a league pod and plays in a way that is detrimental to the spirit of the league may be asked to not play in the league anymore. If this happens and their league fees were paid, they will be returned to the player. 

  • Proxies are allowed, but we ask that you keep it to a minimum. Proxies are cards that are not originaly MTG cards and are used for play testing, space filling while waiting for cards to come in or to represent cards you own without having to switch them between multiple decks. Owning, ordering, or expected ordering are the use cases for the proxies.

League “Ban” List Information

• • The normal Commander ban list is still in effect and cards from the Official Ban list cannot be used. 

  • At the end of each League period, players will be asked to nominate cards for banning/ban removal to/from the League Ban list. 

  • Once a card has been approved for adding to the League ban list, it can still be used in a deck, but will incur negative points for playing it in a league game. 

  • When cards are approved for removal from the League ban list, they can be played without getting negative points in the next league period. 

Current League Ban List

The following cards can be used in the league pods, but will incur negative points for playing them. 

Stasis

Winter Orb

Winter Moon
