Special League Rules
Cultivate Rule
In your main phase, during your first five turns of the game, if you did not play a land in your previous turn and have not played one this turn, you may reveal your hand to your opponents. If it contains no lands, you may shuffle two random cards from your hand into your library. Then, you may search your library for up to two basic lands, put one of them into play tapped and the other into your hand. You may only use this ability once per game.
Sideboards
Players are allowed a 10 card sideboard. These are the only cards that count as “outside the game” for cards such as Glittering Wish. Cards in your sideboard must adhere to all deck construction rules re: color identity.
See rule 903.11
Conceding
Players may only concede as a sorcery, or at the Cleanup Step.
This is a special action and cannot be responded to.
Card Legality
“Official Proxies” such as Collector’s Edition, International Edition, Championship Deck cards, and 30th Anniversary Edition are all allowed.
Please see our Proxy policy for more details
Nephilim
