Choosing A Format\n\nWhen it comes to the basic rules that help you decide your format, there\nare a few mainstays that should always be taken into account. A couple of\nbasic rules for formats is that you know your minimum deck size and only\nhaving 4 copies of each card that is not a basic land card.\n\nAnother basic rule of formatting is that if a card is on the restricted list, a\nplayer should only have one copy of that card. If the card is on the banned\nlist, you cannot use that card in a given game.\n\nWhen it comes to picking a format, there are many different options to\nchoose from. These include formats such as Commander, Legacy and\nVintage; however, in beginning to learn the rules of the game and\nformatting, this book will emphasize:\n\n \u2022 Standard\n\n \u2022 Modern\n\n \u2022 Limited\n\nStandard Deck\n\nThe Standard deck is considered to be the basic deck and is called a\nConstructed format\u2014essentially meaning that each deck is Constructed, or\nmade up, before the game starts.\n\nIt consists of a minimum deck size of 60 cards and only consists of cards\n\nfrom the previous and current blocks as well as the current core set(s) that will be played in the game. Modern deck formation is basically the same as Standard, except for the fact you can use all sets from the 8th edition and after. Limited When it comes to Limited format, the deck is not Constructed before the game begins, players are Drafting. Essentially the drafting format is, as the title would insinuate, drawing or drafting different cards into your deck throughout the game. In this format, players choose 3 15-card booster packs\u00b9 that are passed from player to player throughout the game. Deck Size The minimum deck size in this format is 40, as opposed to 60 in the other two, and players are not restricted to their sideboard or even the 4 copies of limited cards rule. \n\n magic the gathering proxies\n mtg proxy\n proxy mtg cards.\n email ProxyKingmtg@outlook.com if you want to get more details.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Choosing A Format When it comes to the basic rules that help you decide your format, there are a few mainstays that should always be taken into account.
