All Aboard the Magic School Bus

The Magic School Bus is on a field trip to the Forgotten Realms to learn about tabletop role-playing games!

This cube is not meant to be drafted alone! Check out the Magic School Bus for more information.

Rules

To draft this module of the Magic School Bus, use standard commander draft rules with one notable exception.

• Drafting
  • Draft three 20-card boosters
  • Take two cards from each pack
• Deck Construction
  • You must choose a commander from among your drafted cards. This must be a legendary creature. If your commander has the "Choose a Background" ability, you may also choose a background as a second commander.
  • Build a 60 card deck, including your commander(s)
  • Your commander(s) dictate your deck's colour identity. Unlike normal commander rules, you may only use basic lands of the colours in your commander's colour identity. You may use cards you drafted outside of your commander's colour identity, but you will have to have drafted other ways to generate the mana to cast them.
• Gameplay
  • Start at 40 life
  • Play multiplayer, commander magic
