Do you like Squirrels?: Play with a commander from an acorn-stamped or silver-bordered set.

September 10 / 12
Parlor Wish: Each player will begin the game with a card called Parlor Wish in their command zone. Parlor Wish is a sorcery that costs 3CC (three generic and two colorless). The text of the card reads, “Roll a d100. Draw the appropriate card or cards from the Wish Board, place them on the stack and resolve them immediately. Return Parlor Wish to your command zone. Parlor Wish costs two more mana for each time it’s been cast. Parlor Wish can only be resolved by each player once per round.” We will have a box of cards in numbered sleeves. Every time a Parlor Wish resolves, we will deal out the appropriate card. If it’s a permanent, it will be returned to the Wish Board when it leaves the battlefield. If it’s a non-permanent spell, it will be returned to the Wish Board after it has resolved.
- Shields are Down: Remove hexproof, shroud, or indestructable from a permanent or player.
- Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man: Control a Spirit creature with at least 10 power and 10 toughness.
