Star
Rules
To play this variant you must have 5 players.
First, assign each player one color (the five colors are white, blue,
black, red, and green)
Once you’ve all figured out who your opponents are, sit
in a circle like this:
By sitting this way your opponents are the two players
sitting across from you and the players to your left and right are neutral
players. In Star, you may only attack your opponents but your spells may
target anyone.
You win if you’re the first to knock out both of your opponents. For
example, if you’re playing green, you win if both the black and blue
players are knocked out. Ties are possible if no one wins when the first
two players are knocked out. For instance, if both the white and black
players are out and the blue player is eliminated, the green and red
players both win at the same time, making the game a tie.

Type Cards
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 Star, then
follow that format’s Banned and Restricted List in addition to this
list. Anti-color are allowed but frowned upon. The black player does not
have much fun when the white player drops Light
of Day down. Please try to keep it fun for all players.
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.
