Commander 25 life points Singleton deck: Exactly 50 cards |
Tiny Leaders is a Magic: The Gathering format. It is a singleton format that uses a Commander and restricts deckbuilding to cards of mana value 3 or less. It was conceived in 2013 and has its own list of banned and restricted cards.[1][2][3]
Rules
- All cards must have a mana value of 3 or less.
- Each player chooses a legendary creature (or suitable Planeswalker) which is their commander. Decks may use other legendary creatures as well. Partner commanders are only legal if their combined color identities are less than four total colors.
- Decks must have a color identity that is a subset of the color identity of their general. The color identity of a card is composed of every color mana symbol that appears on that card — whether in the mana cost or the rules text.
- Except for basic lands, players may not use more than one copy of any given card unless stated otherwise on the card itself.
- Each deck must contain exactly 50 cards including the General, and may additionally have a sideboard with a maximum of 10 cards
- Players start with 25 life.
- Each player's starting hand size (before mulligans) is 8 minus the number of cards in their command zone (meaning 7 cards for regular commanders or 6 cards for Partner commanders).[4]
Starting life
The sources differ on the rule of the starting life total. It is stated to be both 25 and 20.[1][4]
Tiny Leaders: Reborn
- The Tiny Leaders: Reborn variant of Tiny Leaders has its own ban list, but also has cards that are only "banned as commander", meaning they can still be included as part of the 49 (48 if partnered) noncommander cards in one's deck.[5]
- The 3-color limit does not apply.
- Players start with 20 life.
