Swedish Old School 93/94 commander deck. True "Elder Dragon Highlander" with Nicol Bolas at the helm. ABU+4H sets only, no FE, Homelands, Ice Age or Alliances.

Brand new brew, to be tested over the course of 2024.

Note this variant obeys the Commander Ban List but disregards the limitation on Dual Lands. When restricted to Old School, there aren't enough types of dual lands to make multi-color feasible at only 1x per copy (no fast, slow, shock, pain, fetch, etc.). So this list runs 4x each dual land. Fun is about casting creatures and spells, not getting mana screwed.

I also recommend drawing 2 cards during draw phase. It is almost universal that Magic games slow down due to lack of cards in the mid game, because it is common to play a land and at least 1 spell per turn. To compensate, draw 2 every turn. In my mind this is a fundamental flaw in the original game design, but can be fixed easily. Drawing more is more fun.
