New Format: Surewhynot

by Bellairs on 02 June 2012

Main Deck (40 cards)

Sideboard (4 cards)

Creatures (4)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

My friend made a new format for MTG, just to shake it up:

Main decks are limited to 40 cards, with a max of 3 copies per card.

There is a separate zone for basic lands. Every turn you can choose to draw a card from the main deck, or select any basic land from the land zone and put it into your hand.

There is no limit to the amount or kind of basic lands in the land zone.

There is no limit to the kind of cards for the main deck (although, for sportsmanship's sake, don't abuse this rule).

Any effects for "your library" affects your main deck (so mill decks do not mill from the land deck).

Anyone else interested? Make a deck in this format, we dare you.

Deck discussion for New Format: Surewhynot

I like the idea of drawing mana from somewhere else than your library. the Game of Thrones board/card game works like that and that means you'll never have a boring game due to low mana.

maybe allowing you to draw whenever you want isn't the "best" solution for the problem, but it's a start.

nice idea ; )

Yeah, this deck's ultimate goal is to set up a continuous loop of sacrifice feeding into card advantage. The challenge is playing early game.

And thanks for the support! If you'd like you could make your own deck in this format :)

my only worry about this is cards like trepanation blade or mind funeral. other than that, the format sounds like it could be a lot of fun! I might have to try it with a couple of buddies xD
