- I will start the deck with a randomly determined legendary creature or legendary planeswalker that can be a commander. In the event of pulling a partner, I will randomly determine what it's paired with from all the available partners pool. I may reroll the random commander in some cases, because no one wants to see a full build for such all-stars as Tobias Andrion or Lord Magnus, of course.
- We're gonna do things differently this time. Rather than everyone submitting their pet card and providing a direction that typically ends up pulling against itself, instead with the spirit of collaboration we're going to submit one card a day and everyone will weigh in, not unlike the RCotD, and at the end of the day I will count the yays ad nays and whatever tally that comes to is what stands. I reserve the right to settle any ties that arise by end of day, Pacific-Standard Time. After tallying those votes for the day, I will randomly determine the next person to suggest a card for us to converse about.
- Each poster after will vote yay or nay on the card suggested, preferably with some sort of write up defending their vote.
- This aim is about communication and cohesion, if you don't agree with a direction or card choices, SPEAK UP, and let's talk it over. Preferably with more than a one sentence quip. If we can't communicate effectively, this project will fail every time.
- Let's aim for a "75% mid to high" power level. We all know the upper ends of cDH are an incredibly small, "solved" card pool, and building to such a pinnacle will lead to some very same-ish decks. That flies directly in the face of this exercise we're doing, no?
- How cool would it be if some number of us actually took these decks and brought them into their paper world? Let's try to leave the Reserve List stuff out, as well as keep the spell selections to ~$30 and mana lands to ~$9. Occasionally you will see price "spike" cards break this for really synergistic interactions (such as Inkmoth Nexus in the first deck with Livaan, Cultist of Tiamat). These price numbers are not set in stone however, just a general guideline to stick close to.
- Each finished deck will go on to my Moxfield to live forever as "@mtgnexus Community Deck Project {deck number}" for reference point. - I reserve the right to amend these guidelines as we go, should questions arise.
Without further ado, the commander randomly determined for v2.0;
