Title: Tiny Leaders
Post by: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on November 11, 2014, 12:09:00 PM
A new format, like Commander: http://tinyleaders.blogspot.com/

Basically, it's commander, with 50 card decks, 25 life, and all cards are CMC 3 or less. Seems interesting, I'm definitely going to build a deck. This format is for 1v1.

Edit: sample (douchey) decklist: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/15-07-14-tiny-leaders-esper/

Seems pretty sweet! I foresee lot of broken decks though.

The problem is that you commander has to cost less than 3 also...  I don't foresee that many broken combos.
Nope, but there are a few, like {Thopter Foundry}. Basically, its a more competitive and less broken EDH.

Sounds like a very good {derevi, empyrial tactician} deck exists.

Well, last summer, one of my friends and I decided to build a new Pauper EDH deck literally every week.  Looks like this is our new side format.

So can any three drop be your tiny leader or just legendary creatures?

Just legendaries, but the three color pairs that dont have 3 drop legendaries can still be played, your commander is just a vanilla 2/2.

I think it's important to consider the commander ban lists for what they are: these rules are made for competitive play. EDH began casually and continues to be a bastion of house rulsey/ low key gaming. In these environments Derevi, Edric, Erayo, Rafallos, et al are still widely accepted.
