Here's my second Hero deck Sliver Hero just showing the kind of fun people can have with this format.

Sweet. I'll be introducing this deck:golgari-hero to some friends in a few days. It does have a different feel the noble but is like shortcut EDH. I like it.

I made three decks all based off of EDH decks I already own.

Saffi, hero format

Kresh, hero format

Krenko, hero format

What are the mulligan rules?

Same as commander

I like the idea. I enjoy EDH a great deal and this seems like a similar style/challenge for deck building that is unique nevertheless. Seems I might try my hand at a deck of this type.

I just played a few games earlier with some friends. It was really interesting.

Whats up with the banned list? Is that what's illegal in commander? I recognize most of that list but Griselbrand ? Really?

And here's my hand at a deck. Hero of the Parish (Hero Format). I figured I'd use the fact that any creature may be the Hero. Another idea that crossed my mind was Merfolk, use a less useful lord or clone as a Hero and fill your deck up with Merfolk.

Seems like a fun idea I might introduce it to my friends but I know it would turn into a excuse to use dumb combos. But i really hopes this catches on

Jokernaught, Griselbrand has been banned from edh since the first week of avacyn because of crazy draw and win. I might playtest him in this format but i don't think the outcome would be any different.

That I didn't know. Griselbrand is a little uber powerful.

But it seems that this is really catching on. the Champion of the Parish on looks really cool. We need to get a specific page that we can use to post one another's decks. Somewhere in the general form, so we can have an accurate way of swapping ideas and deciding which combos need to be looked into. Rather then clutter this deck page.

I set up a page on the forum for posting decks and discussing the format. The link is in the description. I just can't get it to directly link.

It seems like Griselbrand shouldn't be banned from this format given its constructed-style decks. It's crazy in EDH because that kind of card draw when you have 40 life to start with is just madness, but if you're running it like a more restricted constructed format (in which it is not banned) then there shouldn't be any problem with it. Perhaps banning it as a general but not as an element of a deck?

Removed Griselbrand for now.

It seems like this has a much different speed and different enough format to have a different banlist.

And if there's no ban list, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary is my hero and I wanna have my two Protean Hulk s. _

the ban list looks WAY to big imho

Go ahead and run whatever you want. for now i just copied the ban list from edh, though sol ring was my personal ban. having 5 mana on turn one is too much. and you could still play a 3 cost colorless. thats not fun for anyone.

turn one play a land, play Sol Ring tap it to play another Sol Ring then tap that sol ring to play lets say Azorius Signet use the last floating mana to tap the signet and play a 2 cost creature or another signet. 6 to 7 mana turn one is too much and not fun for anyone.

I agree with Sol Ring . 2 of them is way to powerful.

I agree with Sol Ring . 2 of them is way to powerful.

How does the Hero zone work? Just the same as commander zone, cause if so and without some of the ramp you can get in EDH, might it not be an idea to change the rules on Heros.

As an idea, what about letting Hero's go to the Graveyard, and be returnable to the Commander Zone by paying a mana cost? That way you can allow for more combos and reanimators. Or some other cost?

And are you going to relax the rules on card colour? For example, allow people to include lands that produce a colour according to hero and a colour that isn't a hero colour, but instead of producing the other colour, it produces colourless or something? I can just think of some good lands that are multiple coloured.

Going outside of your heroes color identity utterly breaks the format. I won't be lax on that. The commander zone has always worked the same. you can choose to not use it after your hero/commander has been cast. shenanigans will all work the same.

I feel those rules are extremely solid and work well in this format. there are always going to be crazy combo's. regardless if you change the rules on the command zone.

If this catches on let me know, TappedOut will officially support it if you maintain the list.

I see this as being a great catalyst for those going from standard of vintage play to EDH.

EDH is my favorite format, so i hope i can convince people to play this, to save those 1-5 hour games >.<
