- Wizard's Tower designed specifically with new players in mind - no tokens, counters, exile, planeswalkers etc.
- Can be played as Two (or Three)-Headed Giant or free-for-all Wizard's Tower.
- Focus on pre-2012 Modern era.
- All players share the same library and the same graveyard.
- Each team starts with 30 life.
- Starting hand size is 4 with no maximum.
- Mulligan: Each player may discard any number of cards from their starting hand and redraw that many, once. Once all players have done this, put the discarded cards on the bottom of the library.
- The team that goes first skips their first draw step.
- Draw step:
- Choose one of the face-up cards and add it to your hand. If there aren't any, put the top seven cards of the library face up in the middle of the table, and then choose one.
- Draw the top card of the library.
- You do not share your resources with your teammates. They can’t tap your lands for mana, cast spells from your hand, sacrifice your creatures, etc. You can look at each other’s hands and collaborate, but your cards are still your cards.
- Anything that refers to “you” the player means literally just you. For example Overrun will only affect your creatures, not your teammate’s. However, the word “each” becomes a huge deal here. If you deal an amount of damage to “each” opponent, it’ll apply to all opponents separately.
- You attack as a team, and teammates can block as a team. You can block creatures attacking you or your teammates, and they can also block for you.
- Starts in the middle of table. The youngest player on the team that first deals combat damage to the opposing team becomes the Monarch.
- The player with the Monarch draws a card at the start of their team’s end step.
- When a creature deals combat damage to your team, choose a player on the opposing team to become the new Monarch.
