Duel Commander
Commander is a multiplayer variant of Magic®. It has been created as a format specifically designed to promote social interactions between players. But some players did not have enough Commander players around to be able to play multiplayer Commander games, while some others wished to concentrate on two players for many personal reasons. That is why Duel Commander (which means Commander games between two players) developed a vast community of players throughout the world.

Special (French) banlist and some rule changes (e.g. starting with 30 live).

Compared to "normal" commander only changes 3 little rules and the banlist.

Rules:
Duel Commander follows the exact same rules as classic multiplayer Commander, except for the following.

  • First, players start the game with 30 life.
  • Second, in addition to the ability to put the Commander back into the Command Zone if it would go to the graveyard or be exiled, you may do so also if it would be put into your library.
  • Third, new cards are legal on release day (Friday following the pre-release).
