Slot Magic Rules When I first saw the Netrunner playing mat in the Duelist I thought: Why didn't they print something like that for Magic? Probably because having a dozen lands, four Thallids and twenty-one Saproling tokens in play would require a rather large mat. So why not define a variant where you can only put as many cards in play as you have slots? After much thought and play testing I found a very playable combination of slots is:
I made a layout of 2 x 4 slots (eight Magic card backs photocopied), the land and enchantment slots right before me and the creature and artifact slots in front of the other slots. This is a great reminder if you are playing this format for the first time, after a while you won't need it anymore. Rules The following rule changes are added:
Deck
Construction Use
standard deck construction rules for this variant. Sideboard You
can have a 15-card sideboard in Constructed and in Limited the cards you
don’t use are your sideboard. 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 Slot 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. History This variant was created by Thomas Staudt.
