If a player is about to begin an extra turn and has already begun another extra turn since the last time each other player began a turn, that turn is skipped instead.

If the resolution of a spell or ability would cause an opponent to control, at the end of its resolution, two or more fewer lands than they controlled immediately before its resolution, that effect has no effect. When determining the number of lands controlled, each optional effect that allows a player to search their library for one or more lands is treated as though that player chose to perform the search and found the maximum number of eligible land cards.

If the resolution of a spell or ability would cause an opponent to control two or more lands that cannot produce at least one of the types of mana they could produce immediately before that spell or ability resolved, that effect has no effect.

A player may not perform a sequence of actions involving exclusively two cards that can be repeated arbitrarily many times to produce any of the following results:

• arbitrarily large amounts of mana;
• arbitrarily large amounts of damage;
• arbitrarily large amounts of life loss;
• arbitrarily large amounts of life gain;
• arbitrarily large amounts of milling;
• an arbitrarily large number of triggered abilities caused by permanents entering or leaving the battlefield.

If such a sequence is about to be performed, the player may not initiate it.

Until the beginning of the upkeep step of the ninth turn of the first player in the game:

• players can't win the game, and players can't lose the game;
• if an effect would cause a player to win or lose the game before that time, that effect has no effect;
• if a player would be dealt damage that would reduce their life total to less than 1, their life total becomes 1 instead;
• if a player would receive the last poison counter to lose the game, instead they don't;
• if a player would receive 21 or more damage from a Commander, it is considered to have been dealt 20.

The deck may contain up to 3 cards from the current Game Changer list: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/commander-brackets-beta-update-october-21-2025

If a player is about to take an extra turn and has already taken another extra turn since the last time each other player took a turn, that extra turn is skipped instead.

If the resolution of a spell or ability would cause an opponent to control, at the end of its resolution, two or more fewer lands than they controlled immediately before its resolution, that effect has no effect. When determining the number of lands controlled, each optional effect that allows a player to search their library for one or more lands is treated as though that player chose to perform the search and found the maximum number of valid land cards.

If the resolution of a spell or ability would cause an opponent to control two or more lands that cannot produce at least one of the types of mana they could produce immediately before the resolution of that spell or ability, that effect has no effect.

A player may not perform a sequence of actions involving only two cards that can be repeated arbitrarily many times, producing any of the following results:

• arbitrarily large amounts of mana;
• arbitrarily large amounts of damage;
• arbitrarily large amounts of life loss;
• arbitrarily large amounts of life gain;
• arbitrarily large amounts of milling;
• an arbitrarily large number of triggered abilities caused by permanents entering or leaving the battlefield.

If such a sequence is about to be performed before the beginning of the first player's seventh-turn upkeep, the player may not initiate it.

Until the beginning of the upkeep step of the first player's seventh turn of the game:

• players cannot win the game and cannot lose the game;
• if an effect would cause a player to win or lose the game before that point, that effect has no effect;
• if a player would be dealt damage that would reduce their life total to less than 1, their life total becomes 1 instead;
• if a player would receive the last poison counter to lose the game, instead they don't;
• if a player would receive 21 or more damage from a Commander, it is considered to have been dealt 20.

Two-Card Combo Restriction (Bracket 3 Compliance)

Decks containing two-card combos capable of guaranteeing an immediate win (or causing all opponents to lose) are not legal if they meet both of the following criteria:

• They require a maximum of 2 cards in total to be assembled and executed starting from the beginning of the turn.
• They require a total combined mana value (MV/CMC) of 6 or less for the entire sequence.

Clarification: Combos such as Thassa's Oracle / Jace / Laboratory Maniac paired with Demonic Consultation / Tainted Pact fall under this restriction and make the deck ineligible for tournament registration.
