Tiny Leaders!

Do you like Commander? Well wizards made a new format called Tiny Leaders, which is a lot like Commander buy there is a difference. Every card in the deck (including your commander) has to have a converted mana cost of 3 or less and the deck has to have 50 cards... SUPER WEIRD.

When I first heard of the format I thought that it was a dumb idea and that it was going to suck. I mean the whole point of commander is to just build a deck of absurdly high costing cards right?

Well I was wrong. Tiny Leaders is a super fun format that can be both casual or competitive. Just like Commander, the format was made to have a good time with cool and different decks. The one thing that makes it different from Commander is that the games aren't super long. I don't know how many times I sit down to play Commander and the games take an hour a piece! Sure the games are usually really fun but sometimes you just want to play a fun and SHORT game of magic. That's where Tiny Leaders comes in. Tiny Leaders is like a smaller version of Commander. A lot of the rules are still the same but everything is just smaller. It is a casual format that is a lot of fun to play with your friends.

I made a Tiny Leaders deck with my Commander (or Tiny Leader) as Yasova Dragonclaw. Yasova Dragonclaw is a 4/2 Human Warrior with trample that casts for two colorless and one green. She has, "At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may pay one colorless and two hybrid blue red mana. If you do, gain control of target creature an opponent controls with power less than Yasova Dragonclaw's power until end of turn, untap that creature, and it gains haste until end of turn. The basics of the deck is to make one creature super huge and then take all of their creatures to hit them for lethal. It has a bunch of different cards that protect my creatures and cards to buff up my creatures. It is a super fun deck that combos off really hard.

Tiny Leaders is definitely one of the more unique formats that Wizards have created. I would recommend anyone to build and play Tiny Leaders because it is a super fun time. Thanks for reading and I'll be back next time with some more Magic: The Gathering.
