Proxy Friendly house rules:
Players share an infinite mana pool that never empties between turns and phases.
Players can use the infinite mana pool to pay the cost in the top right corner of a spell once per turn. Alternate costs, additional costs, and activated abilities are unrestricted.
Infinite responding abilities are won by the defending ability.
Spells and abilities that can directly win the game are banned.
Players start games with 5 cards in hand.
One mulligan for a new hand of 5 cards.
Seat 1 draws a card to start their 1st turn.
The maximum hand size is 7 cards.
Rule exception:
If mana from an ability, like Cascading Cataracts, filters the infinite mana pool and pays the entire converted mana cost (top right mana value of a card), that spell doesn’t count towards your one spell per turn limit.

Casual Type 4 Cube draft:
Generally, a minimum of four players randomize the cube; each creates three piles of 15 cards and then uses those piles as makeshift booster packs to draft a total of 45-card decks. Similar to traditional FNM booster drafting.
After the draft experience is complete, players choose a minimum of 40/45 as their main decks and then shuffle up to play a 4-player free-for-all game. The Proxy Friendly team tends to play multiple games with the same decks and then start a new draft with a portion of the cube that hasn’t been drafted yet. Keeps it fresh all night!
Competitive Type 4 Cube draft:
Our Side Event Qualifier events are 16-player capped tournaments that start with four draft pods. Visit our events page for format details.
Each pod follows a judge's call for when it’s time to pick up and pass their packs until all three packs have been drafted.
Players then receive time to finalize their decks before playing. Tournament seating and turn order are determined randomly by topdeck.gg tournament software.
Round 1: Players play against the players they drafted with in a “first to two wins” match with a maximum game total of five. Games are 30 minutes with 1 additional turn. Highest life total wins. Time extensions are granted if multiple players are tied for the highest life.
Round 2: Round 1 winners play against each other in a “first to three wins” match with a maximum game total of nine. Games are 50 minutes with 3 additional turns. Highest life total wins. Time extensions are granted if multiple players are tied for the highest life.
1st Place is granted a 1-round bye into our 2026 Series Finale Event; the Top 4 are granted free entry into the Finale Event, and the Top 4 also receive a variety of high-end Magic singles and Precon EDH decks to choose from.
