Proxy Friendly house rules:

1. Players share an infinite mana pool that never empties between turns and phases.

2. 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.

3. Infinite responding abilities are won by the defending ability.

4. Spells and abilities that can directly win the game are banned.

5. Players start games with 5 cards in hand.

6. One mulligan for a new hand of 5 cards.

7. Seat 1 draws a card to start their 1st turn.

8. The maximum hand size is 7 cards.

9. Players start each game at 20 life.

10. Custom cards are mythic rarity.

11. Tournament Games are 30 mins and must have a winner. Read about “Sudden Death”below.

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.

Sudden Death:

• Sudden Death is an emblem that starts each game in play.

  1. No Time — When game times expire, this emblem takes effect at the beginning of the next cleanup step.

  2. No Choice — Each player loses 5 life during each player’s untap step. If this effect would bring a life total to 0 or less, set that life total to 1 instead.

  3. No Escape — At the beginning of each end step, each player who didn’t take a game action loses 1 life. If each player is at 1 life, this only effects the active player.

  4. No Mercy — At the beginning of each cleanup step, if a single player has the highest life, that player wins the game.

• You can view the Sudden Death emblem in the Token section of this gallery below.

Casual Type 4 Cube draft:

1. 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.

2. 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:

1. Our Cube Qualifier events are 16-player capped tournaments that start with four draft pods. Visit our events page for format details.

2. 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 receive the most time during the first 4 picks per draft round to accommodate the unavoidable reading to understand our Custom Set cards potentially in each pack. Our Proxy Friendly booth will have Custom Set cards displayed in binders on-site for players to study beforehand.

3. Players then receive time to finalize their decks before playing. Tournament seating and game 1 turn order are determined randomly by topdeck.gg tournament software.

4. 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 long. If the game has not been won by the end of time, “Sudden Death” take effect. You can read about Sudden Death on this page at the front of the Token section below. When a single player has the highest life total at the beginning of a cleanup step, that player wins the game.

5. Round 2: Round 1 winners play against each other in a “first to two wins” match with a maximum game total of five. Games are 30 minutes long. If the game has not been won by the end of time, our “Sudden Death” emblem token takes effect. You can read about Sudden Death on this page at the front of the Token section below. When a single player has the highest life total at the beginning of a cleanup step, that player wins the game.

6. 1st Place is granted a 1-round bye into our 10K Circuit Finale; and the Top 4 each draft between premium Magic singles and earn a Starter Cube Set.
