Gameplay Rules
Commander Reveal
Commanders are revealed at the first draw step of the game.
Life Totals
Life totals are rounded up to the nearest even number and halved at the start of each upkeep.
Scooping
* Players may scoop only at sorcery speed
* If a player scoops due to inevitable elimination, the eliminating player still receives the elimination point
Command Zone Advantage
Any commander that generates value or can be cast, activated, or put onto the battlefield from the command zone without paying its normal mana cost receives a -1 point penalty each game it is used.
This includes (but is not limited to):
* Abilities that trigger while in the command zone
* Activated abilities from the command zone
* Static or continuous effects from the command zone
* Alternative casting or methods that bypass normal casting rules
This penalty applies once per game and is determined by the card’s rules text, not player intent.
Event staff may make final determinations on edge cases before the game begins.
End of Round Procedure
When time is called:
1. The active player finishes their turn (Turn 0)
2. The next player in turn order receives the final turn
* If a player wins during this turn, the game ends immediately
