MTG List: Casual Commander Banlist

Hexapod


Description


This is an expanded list in use within our Montreal-based group of friends who engage in casual yet high-powered multiplayer Commander squirmishes on a regular basis.

Gentleman's rules exclude infinite combos and running counterspell or board wipe as a main mechanic.

Cards are selected for the Banned List in accordance with all founding members based on meeting one or more of the following criteria:
- Official WOTC Banned List
- Provides a disproportionate advantage if drawn on turn 1/in 40 life format
(Sol Ring, Serra Ascendant, Felidar Sovereign)
- Prevents others from playing the game as intended
(Contaminationfoil, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, massive land destruction)

We are aiming for power level 7 defined by
- Games in which all players have a chance to experience their decks
- High variance whereas a deck does not always win with the same card or combo
- Being devoid of overly specific hate for basic mechanics or synergies
