Title: Rainbow stairwell
Post by: Avnger345 on July 03, 2013, 10:48:33 PM
Anyone every play this casual version? My group is thinking about trying it out. It seems like fun.

"In the Rainbow Stairwell format, players make a 60 card deck utilizing six cards from each color and the artifacts. These six cards must have a converted mana cost ranging from one to six, with each card taking up one of six slots. Rules differ on what is allowed for the 24 land slots, with the simplest rule being 6 of each type of basic land; others allow nonbasic lands, but only if the entire cycle is used."

I don't get it. How are they made up of those 6 cards? Is it like commander and you can play them whenever? I just don't get how to play that.

I did some quick reading. Basically you construct a 60 card deck that has six cards from each color, plus six artifact cards. Each color most have a one drop, a two drop, a three drop, etc. up to your six drops. With the 24 leftover slots, you use lands. House rules determine which lands to use. It's sort of like a scaled back EDH format in that you can only possibly have one copy of a card, and you don't have commanders. It sounds interesting.

Totally think I'm going to screw my opponents and play  {Conversion} as my 4 drop.. Then just make sure I have  {Sunglasses of Urza} as my 3 drop artifact.. That or a lot of creatures with landwalk!!!
