Two Color Star

Rules

To play this variant you must have 5 players.

First, assign each player two friendly colors; the five friendly-color pairs are white-blue, blue-black, black-red, red-green, and green-white.

Next, figure out which is your enemy color. If you’re playing white-blue, your enemy color is red; for blue-black, it’s green; for black-red, white; for red-green, blue; and for green-white, black. Your opponents are the players using your enemy color in their decks. For example, if you’re playing blue-black, your enemy color is green, so the green-white and red-green players are your opponents. The two players who aren’t your opponents (in this case, white-blue and black-red) aren’t really your allies either; they’re neutral. You’re competing against them, but you don’t get any benefit from hurting them. 

Once you’ve all figured out who your opponents are, sit in a circle like this:

  

Sit so that your neutral players are the two players next to you and your opponents are the two players across from you. In Two-Color Star, you attack only your opponents with your creatures, but spell range is unlimited.

You win if you’re the first to knock out both of your opponents. For example, if you’re playing green-white, you win if both the black-red and blue-black players are knocked out. Ties are possible if no one wins when the first two players are knocked out. For instance, if both the white-blue and black-red players are out and the blue-black player is eliminated, the green-white and red-green players both win at the same time, making the game a tie.

Deck Construction

Each player should build a 60-card minimum deck using only cards that are of your assigned colors plus lands. Both of your friendly colors should be reasonably well represented in your deck. You can’t use artifacts or cards of the other three colors in your deck. Please keep in mind that people may be playing anti-color cards in there deck. So try to have ways to deal with them.

Sideboard

There is no Sideboard for this game variant.

 Banned & Restricted List

When playing this variant it is usually decided what Type you will be playing. So, if you are playing Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, or Extended Two-Color Star, then follow that format’s Banned and Restricted List in addition to this list. Anti-color are allowed but frowned upon. The black player does not have much fun when the white player drops Light of Day down.

Mulligan Rules

Standard “Paris” Mulligan is used for this variant.

Before each game begins, a player may, for any reason, reshuffle and redraw his hand, drawing one less card. This may be repeated as often as the player wishes, until he has no cards left in his hand. After the participant, who plays first, mulligans as often as he likes, the decision of whether to mulligan passes to the other player. Once a player passes the opportunity to mulligan, that player may not change his mind.
