Rules and Tips
The games will of course be highly random, but there is no punishment for losing – enjoy the wacky interactions between cards that you would never have played together before! That being said, there are some changes to the rules and there will be cards that are better than others.
- Each player starts with 30 life and 3 cards in their starting hand. Each player also gets three free mulligans.
- The Omniscience emblem allows players to add one mana of each color to their mana pool once each turn – including your turn, and your opponents turn. You will be using this mana primarily to activate abilities, but sometimes pay additional costs that are required to cast the spell.
- All cards in your hand cost 0. Cards with X in their mana cost is also 0 by default, and you cannot pay for it with the emblem either. The mana cost for cards that are played outside the hand (i.e. top of library, graveyard, from exile such as Adventure cards) must be paid for with the Emblem.
- If you have played Omniscience Draft before, you will know that card draw is king and the same applies here. Take advantage of the free mulligan to find high impact cards, preferably that gives immediate value. Both Niv-Mizzets are great, as are cards like Notion Rain or Dark Bargain.
