This is a Battle Box deck. Battle Box/Danger Room a MTG variant where all players share the same deck and each player has a set of 10 lands (one of each basic and a set of come into play tapped dual lands). These lands are played one a turn like normal and guaranty that players dont get mana flooded or screwed.

The idea behind the box is to create fun challenging and balanced games of magic every game. The threats (creatures, combat tricks) are powerful but not unbeatable and the answers (counters, removal, sweepers) are great but don't generate significant card advantage.

I dont want any single cards that can take over an entire game or that draw you multiple cards. Additionally, i don't want any cards that will allow a player to search a library (for practical reasons). Finally, land destruction is also out because you only get 10 lands total.

Updates for version 2:less overwhelmingly multicolor. (roughly half as many dual and triple color spells)more card advantage (it turns out all my favorite cards involve drawing multiple cards or accruing advantage over multiple turns)removing enemy color tapped lands for ally color tapped lands (this isn't in the card list but part of the 10 lands each player starts with).
