Midnight Magic

Rules

This game is a variant of Pauper’s Magic.

In addition there is the chaos rule that says: any direct damage spell (a spell that deals damage to one or more targets) has a 50% change of backfiring, which means your opponent makes all choices for the spell. If you are targeting more then one player then you may choose what player gets to choose the targets.

Banned & Restricted List

When playing this variant it is usually decided what type you will be playing. So if playing Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, or Extended Midnight Magic then, follow that format’s Banned and Restricted List.

Mulligan Rules

Standard “Paris” Mulligan is used for this variant.

Before each game begins, a player may, for any reason, reshuffle and redraw his hand, drawing one less card. This may be repeated as often as the player wishes, until he has no cards left in his hand. After the participant, who plays first, mulligans as often as he likes, the decision of whether to mulligan passes to the other player. Once a player passes the opportunity to mulligan, that player may not change his mind.
