Interestingly enough, if you somehow get 6 people. This could easily just become 3v3 which would be pretty fun

Yeah, we just call this star

There's a lot more strategy, too. If one player's opponent is taken out but you still have both of yours, you could end up being in a position where you need to protect your opponent to prevent an ally from winning.

What if someone plays 1 of the choose left or right cards lol

I always play xyris when there is more than 4 players it creates a problem

Never seen this varient. We usually do secret partners or lone wolf depending on how big the pod is for the night.

I'm more a fan of the sway the Stars game where everybody just starts at 7 Life

I played this years ago as a mono color format, where each player has one piece of the color pie.

ive played this and its fun

Wizard circle

For 5 players i think star is the best. The players on your left and right are not opponents but not allies and the 2 people opposite you are your opponents. You win when the 2 players opposite you are dead. You can win after dying. 2 players can win at the same time. And it's much faster.

“I play Emrakul, Aeons Torn.”

I've always called it pentagram but it's great for five person games

You idiots just added more rules to. Slow game

Oh hey this format. I play a more interesting version called pentad. I have yet to find where it came from but same rules but all decks are mono coloured. Each deck is a different colour. Players sit in wubrg order and white always goes first.

Just let the last guy draw 2, less convoluted.

Back when I first started playing magic and we had five people we played one of two modes similar to this called loose allies that worked it this but we played until one person was left but then we also had close combat where you could only attack the people to your left and right

its a knock off of bang the dice game. agreed its my only way i want to play 5 player games

I really like this format! I first played it while traveling, but I'd love to get my LGS to start. Makes the politics really tricky

So would Pramikon sky rampart effectively say that nobody is allowed to attack at all because no matter which direction you choose the person directly to either side is your ally

You confused me. Guess it's a good thing I only have one person to play against in magic

music was way too loud; good info though

My playgroup plays kingdoms all the time. Its a blast

return the favor is currently the only card in the game to do this and is highly underrated

So this is just Bang! But with commander.

i cant read that fast silly

We do that, but it’s called sheriff.

uhh where is the reddit link, its not in the description or pinned comment

Had a game a couple weeks ago against someone that was playing a deck of nothing but "prevent all damage" spells and controlled and stalled tbe game by themselves for three straight hours. "Yeah this deck is a 7" was what he said before playing

I looked up the art and it is definitely not a dick. It literally is the same color as the furs brighter tone. Its part of the skirt. It just looks midly suggestive so they removed it.

If you ever have 6 or 10 people you can play emporer. Split into two teams with an odd number of players. Order teams on opposite sides of a table. The person in the center for each team is the emporer. Each player can cast spells or use abilities that effect players up to two spaces away and can only attack adjacent players. This makes it so your emporers can build slowly while interacting to support their flanks or their flanks can fight eachother and disrupt either the adjacent flank or the emporer. The 5v5 games are insane. If i remember right we had a rule that lets you tap a creature to pass it one space away at end of turn. Tons of fun and wildly different than other formats.

This sound just like Bang! But with mtg. I like it

Ive plaged this before, its pretty good, also, my old group if the game was big we could block for other players, this was a nightmare, when we played a game with 14 people, i dont remember how long that game was but i didnt go home till 6am, to much resetting and removal, no one could win fast because there was way to much interaction and people making deals, you aint never seen politics in a magic game till you play with that many people

So its BANG! but MTG...

We love this format! We only make a small change where the assissin is a jester instead. A jester wins if he is killed by the king, once half players are dead the jester turns assassin. That makes it much easier to be able to win as that role.

Is a very fun version of the format. Had a couple times where the organizer would make it secretly all knights which was also fun

My preferred 5-player variant is one I've only heard called Shards and Wedges. Basically, each player is dealt a basic land in WUBRG order. You win when both of your enemy colors are eliminated and have to work with both of your allied colors to do so. The trick is that each of your allies is also allied with one of your enemy pairs, and also against your other ally, so it's a very interesting political format of dual loyalties and quick, explosive pop-offs that can kill both enemies in one go.

How does this work with something like thassas oracle? This sounds interesting and I’m really curious.

I could be playing an Asmo deck and still somehow top deck a Grizzly Bear when my opponents make me.

Discard this bird, response, no I don't think you will.

Easiest Five player game, Star Format : Those next to you are friendly, Those across from you are the enemies, First to have both Enemies drop wins. Fast, easy, fun.

Really curious if there is some sort of ruling that allows us to cast "Extus / Awaken the Blood Avatar" with the "Rakdos, Lord of Riots" second ability that reduces mana cost 🤔

We did this but with the boardgame Bang! With some of their cards, rolling a planar die to get them. This... doesn't really work well at all, unless like everyone is on precons. Custom decks just DO NOT work well with random roles. Big unfortunate; it was fun once then never again! Lol

Be careful with this format for it is super addicting and WILL skew your deck builds for more political plays since its advantageous to get the kings favor. And since the king can and WILL dictate where to attack, the more you let the king draw, the more likely the king wants you as the his prefered champion. This is great if your trying to kill the king for the win. Great format for tables that have 5+ players and works great up to 8.

You know what's still pretty fun? An 8 player pod of commander. Sure, you have no idea what the vampire deck is doing at the opposite end of the table but then everyone has to convince you that they need to die for whatever reason. It's more chaotic diplomacy energy, that's what i love about commander.

I've played king, knight, rogue and traitor. Same concept. Good for those playgroups that hold... Grudges... Between dozens of games....😅

Just sounds like sheriff

This sounds way too extra. I just played five-star consistently. Its faster than 4 player and still more or less normal magic. These goofy everyone has a different role variants suck so much fun out of deckbuilding. Cant play anything that hurts the whole table cause you might just have 1 guy to beat. Cant play aggro cause you might have to defend yourself against 3 out of the 4 other players. Etc. There are so many decks that just flounder or actively sabotage themselves in these roles.
