Full Rules
Deck Budget: The total budget for your Commander deck, including the Commander card, cannot exceed £100. All card prices should be based on Cardmarket pricing and built on Moxfield (€120 = £100), market values at the time of deck construction (you may use variants of the card that cost more if the base card is valued lower; for example, a Foil Elesh Norn should be valued at the standard Elesh Norn value)
Deck Size: Your Commander deck must contain exactly 100 cards, including your Commander.
Singleton Rule: Except for basic lands, each card in your deck must have a different name. You cannot include more than one copy of a card with the same name, except basic lands.
Commander Identity: Your Commander's colour identity determines the colours of mana symbols in the card's mana cost and rules text. Your deck can only contain cards that share colour identity with your Commander and its rule box.
Match Structure:
Matches: Each match consists of one game with 4 players.
Players score 3 points for a win, 2 points for second place, and 1 point for third, and 0 for fourth place.
Bonus Points: Players score 1 additional point for KOing a player. (Yes, if you off yourself within the rules of the game, you get the point...)
Multi-Kill: If two players are KO'd at the same time, the higher placement will be given to the player with the highest life total at the time of damage dealt.
Tiebreakers: In the case of tied points, standings are determined by the following tiebreakers:
a. Most KOs
b. Games Won
