Round Duration

Pod Sizes

No Byes

Rules Enforcement Level (REL)

Take-backs are NOT allowed: missed plays, tapping lands incorrectly, or playing the wrong spell; they are not able to be taken back unless physically unable to cast it.

For instance, if Drannith Magistrate is on the battlefield and you attempt to cast your commander from the command zone, this action is not permissible. Therefore, the attempted casting will be reversed, and any mana expended will be untapped.

Once anything is tapped and the hand is removed, it cannot be undone.

When a land produces multiple colors, announce which color of land you are producing.

These events are not run at full competitive (COMP) level due to the difficulty of tracking certain rule interactions in a 4-player game.

Normal rulings will be treated as COMP.

Spectators are not allowed to provide any information about cards or interactions, even if they were previously part of the pod but are no longer in the game.

If a player needs clarification on a card, only a judge or TO can provide the updated Oracle text for the most recent printing, as long as the player can describe the card or provide its name.

Players are not permitted to view Oracle Rulings, which is different from the Oracle Text, on cards, as this could offer strategic advantages beyond what is printed on the card.

Advice or help from other players within the pod is allowed within the rules of the game.

Trying to change the outcome of a game through anything outside of the game (e.g., offering bribes) is strictly prohibited. This means saying something like “I will concede for X” or “If you do this I will give you X”.

Electronic devices to look up anything in the game is prohibited. You can use them for keeping track of life but not for any other use.

Graveyard order matters; you can not change the order of any graveyard.

Play Order

Players participate in the sequence specified on the round roster. Player 1 assumes the position designated for player 1 within the pod, and players occupy seats around player 1 according to their assigned order.

Irregular Resolving Order

Events that require an order, typically in a 2-player game, will happen sequentially from Non-Active to Active Player but in EDH there are usually 3 Non-Active Players and 1 Active Player. So these events will work like resolving the Stack.

These events will be placed on the "STACK" with triggers for each affected person or item.

They will be resolved in reverse order, meaning the last item placed on the stack will be the first one resolved.

These items can not be affected in any other way than normal within the rules of the game. This rule is just used in cases where irrational things happen like the example and “STACK” is just for clarification as most players know how the stack works and is used for assigning points for who would lose before the other person.

***End of Round ***

Active player when time is called once they end their turn, the game is over and the match ends in a draw for all players in the pod, even if they lost earlier in the round. This is a rule from Eminence.
