A MAGIC: THE GATHERING FORMAT
Infinite magic is a constructed format, played from a shared deck/library, without any lands - where you can generate infinite mana at any time!
Infinite Magic delivers on one of the founding principles of Magic: The Gathering - that its FUN! Any card you draw, you can play (subject to normal timing restrictions) since you have infinite mana...
Infinite Magic games generally last between 10 - 15 minutes. It depends on i) how you construct your Infinite Magic deck, and ii) how many people are playing.
The six basic rules of Infinite Magic are outlined below.
For more detailed information see the Rules page, and the general rules of Magic: The Gathering.
1. One player builds (or the players collaborate upon) a shared 'Infinite Magic' deck.
2. You may generate infinite mana - in any combination of colors or colorless mana.
3. You may only play one spell from your hand on each player's turn.
4. Starting hand size is three (3), max hand size is five (5), and no one draws during their first turn.
5. Each player's starting life is 20.
6. Anything that refers to your library or graveyard - refers to the communal deck and communal graveyard.
An Infinite Magic deck is communal, which is to say, everyone draws and plays from the same stack of cards. The same goes for the graveyard. Whenever a card refers to 'your' library or graveyard, it refers to these communal resources.
You may play one spell from your hand each turn. This includes other player's turns. And yes, just like the normal rules, exile (or cascade, etc...) is not included in 'from your hand'.
Each player draws an opening hand of three cards from the shared library, and no player draws a card in the first round.
As a casual, multiplayer format, Infinite Magic is intended for fun, not competition. If you find any cards in your deck 'unfun' - DITCH THEM!
