The Unwritten Rules of Commander | 597

Published: March 28, 2024, 6 p.m.

The comprehensive rules of Magic: The Gathering are almost 300 pages long. On top of all that, Commander has a whole set of UNWRITTEN rules that can be a lot less cut-and-dry.\xa0\nNeedless to say, this is a complicated thing to navigate. But have no fear! This episode we\u2019re going over those unofficial rules and expectations of the format. From cards you aren\u2019t supposed to play to game habits that are bound to make your opponents a bit salty, we\u2019ll be covering everything. We\u2019ll even go over the times when these \u201crules\u201d should be bent\u2026 or broken!
