Tiny Leaders!

The Kitchen Table forum

Posted on Dec. 31, 2014, 3:04 p.m. by Se7enfoot

Has anyone heard the buzz on this new format. 49 cards + 1 Leader. No cards have more than 3 CMC. All cards besides basic lands are singletons and you have 25 starting life. Some friends and I have made some YouTube videos, my channel is the same name as my account here. Enjoy!

I've encountered this a few times lately. It is a pretty fun KT format, pretty much like commander in the playstyles, but a bit faster.

Nope, your commander has tomeet the CMC requirement. To compensate for certain 3 color combos not having a 3 CMC legendary, there is a generic Jeskai, Mardu, and Sultan commanders which are the three colors of the clan for a 2/2.

Yea, everything has to meet the cmc restrictions, but there are some great generals for this format. I've been toying with the idea of a Doran, the Siege Tower deck.

I like Animar, Soul of Elements for this

This seems really interesting for casual game settings, especially because it would make the decks way more cheaper. I think I'll suggest this to my friends and hopefully we'll give it a try :)

3 CMC legendary for general sure takes alot of options away though.

It's very fun, and fast pace. I made some YouTube videos with my friends. My channel name is Se7enfoot.

I literally became aware of the format today, and I think it's genius. I'm headed home to make a Tymaret, the Murder King deck!

Okay so is Jhoira of the Ghitu viable? I am thinking of a burn kind of deck where you stack burn spells with suspend. I am working on a Varloz deck atm but I really like Jhoira and wanted to know if she is viable.

All you guys are wimps. Use Brothers Zamazaki.

Death_The_Kid why suspend the spells instead of just casting them though?

hey guys the deck builder here is trying to make me play 51 cards with commander not just 50. anyone else?

Someone correct the number of legal cards for Tiny Leaders. It's 49 + Commander, not 50 + Commander.

Check out my YouTube for game play videos. Search for Tiny Leaders and look for Se7enfoot.

Yeah. Atm this site has set it 50+1 when it should be 49+1 like realpolitik stated. Not to mention the fact that for some odd reason my deck says I have 51 cards (it has 49 + general) and it still complains that I should add 1 more.

The site adds the Leader to the creature portion of the lists, and cannot be removed. It's a good start to a new format, the more exposure the better.

Is Eidolon of Countless Battles legal in Tiny leaders? I mean, the normal casting cost is CMC3 but you can cast it with the bestow cost for CMC4.

The site automatically adds the Leader to the deck. I've noticed that also.

I tried to keep my deck budgeted, there are plenty of expensive cards for 3 or less. Draw spells and synergy. I'm having a tough time finding Maga, Traitor to Mortals.

you're also allowed a 10 card sideboard - the format was more or less made for 1v1, although i think it is seldom played that way

January 22, 2015 7:41 p.m.

Dalektable says... #23

Seldom played that way? I havent seen it played other than 1v1 as intended. The decks are aggressive at their core due to the mana cost restrictions. I don't see the format playing out very well in a multiplayer environment.
