Judge tower for Caltech use. Acquire progress: 293/??? + 4/6 (???%)

All players share a deck and a graveyard. Ownership belongs to the player who originally cast the card.

Begin the game with n cards in hand, where n is current judge level (0 for non-judges). Current house rules dictate starting with n + 1 instead.

You must play every card in your hand as soon as legally possible. All optional modes are mandatory, to the extent that you can fulfill them (ex. casting Mnemonic Wall with an empty graveyard is legal, but if there are any spells in the yard you must target one with Mnemonic Walls ETB trigger). When given a choice between multiple options on a card (such as Cryptic Command ), any may be chosen.

You must activate every activated ability of permanents you control once per turn as soon as legally possible, if it is legally possible. This does include your opponents' turns. Always activate abilities from the bottom of the card up (for instance, if you untap with Staff of Domination , you must activate the draw-a-card ability, hold priority and respond by activating the untap ability, allow that to resolve, and then use the tap-creature ability if there is a legal target (otherwise, you must use the gain-life ability)).

By extension, all "may"s are replaced by "must"s instead. This includes reminder text, such as with Evoke - any card with Evoke ("You may cast this spell for its evoke cost...") must be cast for its evoke cost.

If a spell or ability has X in its mana cost, X is always 5. You must attack with all legal attackers and block with all legal blockers whenever the option is presented to you.

All players have infinite life.

All players have infinite mana.

You lose if you commit a game rules violation. At this point, the main playgroup has played with the tower enough (~100 hours) that large boardstates develop before the game ends. If playing with people new to the tower (or judge tower in general), they can start with 6 life points. At 0 points, you lose the game.

Graveyard/deck interaction has been almost entirely excluded from the list, since shuffling a 250+ card stack is not very viable and takes forever. Same with searching through the graveyard for random crap.

Suggestion: mark cards with a sharpie every time one eliminates somebody. Cards with many markings will serve as a warning to new/future players.

The sideboard contains hardmode-esque cards that will, in all likelihood, oneshot you if you draw them. We have sleeved them in a different color. Playing with them should not be done lightly!

Created.
People have gotten good at the game pretty fast. Also, switching to house rules with each player starting at 6 life. Therefore, adding more card draw.
