Be a part of our community, receive awesome rewards, and more!   / commandzone   -------- Show Notes: The comprehensive rules of Magic: The Gathering are almost 300 pages long. On top of all that, Commander has a whole set of UNWRITTEN rules that can be a little less cut-and-dry. Needless to say, this can be a complicated thing to navigate; but have no fear, this episode we’re going over those unofficial rules and expectations of the format. From cards you aren’t supposed to play to game habits that are bound to make your opponents a bit salty, we’ll be covering everything. We’ll even go over the times when these “rules” should be bent… or broken! Tune in and join us. -------- AUDITION FOR EXTRA TURNS: Think you have what it takes to play on Extra Turns?
