I learned of a nifty casual format from a friend. The game is a modification of a format called "The Fat Stack" and we treat it as a multiplayer format that gives a pseudo-EDH feel with some twists.

What is The Fat Stack v2? It's almost like normal MTG. All the rules are the same, except:

1) There is one library. Everybody shares this library. Everybody interacts with this one library as if it were his/her own.

2) There is one graveyard. Everybody shares this graveyard. Everybody interacts with this one graveyard as if it were his/her own.

3) There are no land cards in the deck. At any point you can legally play a land, you may (a) put any card in your hand down as a land that produces one mana of any color in its color identity as mana. (For example: if I choose to put Giant Growth down as a land it might as well be a Forest, or if I put a Sorin, Lord of Innistrad down as a land it can produce one black or one white mana.), or (b) put any card in your hand face-down and tapped as a land that produces one mana of any color (so basically a Rupture Spire but without the second effect).

I tried to add in a decent amount of cards that Scry (seeing as you're not setting up your own draws for the next couple of turns, but the other player's, along with the added benefit of knowing what they get), and some Graveyard interactions like Flashback (since Flashback Instants are fair game for everybody, and the such). This is what makes the communal library and graveyard so interesting.

I stray away from cards that don't put out enough effect for giant multiplayer games, cards that get degenerate on their own too quickly, land tutors for obvious reasons, and cards that mill until you hit a land. Barring those cards off, there is still a huge reservoir of cards to choose from.

Here's the best part though: since it's a casual format to mess around with, everything is a proxy! Everything is free (minus the cost of ink and paper)!

When I tested this out, each game was very fun to the last minute. I wanted to share this with everyone since not a whole lot of people know of it apparently. So if I'm missing iconic or fun cards, give suggestions! If I have cards in here that don't seem up-to-snuff for multiplayer play, let me know!
