Tiny Leaders!
The Kitchen Table forum

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.

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.

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

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.
January 22, 2015 6:25 a.m.
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

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.
