If you hit Thrumming Stone and Mortal Combat then it's brutal with so many Apostles

Except for Chaos Warp I don't see anything that can allow you to cast Myojin from your hand. Why did you picked it as your commander?

Another update regarding effects preventing players to cast spells, like epic or Iona, shield of emeria. You need to ignore such effects if chaos was rolled.

Great to hear that you like it. From the playtest i can give you some advice. Don't use epic sorceries. We agreed that if you have to cast it by chaos symbol, then you will have two or more epics going for you. At the end everyone had at least one epic spell. I was stuck at 4 of them, with 2 of them white, and no enchantments left in deck for I think over 10 turns. Think carefully how much you want to break the game.

After a playtest and some discussion we updated the rules. We agreed that removing mana cost from these cards are good, but they also need to be uncounterable.

That's a good point you have there with the changes for roll results, but as it is a group idea I will have to discuss it with my friends. But I like your concept.

I would pick two games without much thinking.

First was at M13 prerelease when we were almost terminated. It was such a cold war that i won with literary last card in deck - Volcanic Geyser that was cast or 18 mana. 18! We used almost every inch of the table, and when the other gut attacked me once it took I think 10 minutes to finish that combat phase.

Second was the best EDH game ever. Two-headed Giant EDH with Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker reanimator and Oviya Pashiri 1-mana-tribal on our side and Avacyn, Angel of Hope control/voltron with Mirko Vosk sheananigans decks on the other side of the table. For quite the number of turns we were sitting on 1 HP, and the other side had been dealt 30 commander dmg by Oviya Pashiri. The tension was very high.

Ok, I know that holding that mana is counterintuitive, unless you want to do something in other players turns. You can also discuss beforehand what cards each player gonna add (we did it so we can make proxies for them). In planechase there are planes that strongly discourages players from doing some things or have severe ounishments on chaos, but that's fun too.

Regarding that 25% chance add to it that you basically have 1/3 chance to even reveal the top card. I didn't meant it to turn everyone game plan upside down, more like a chance for gamble that can turn the tides or be useless.
To make an example i will share some cards our playgroup added to archaeology deck by now: all 5 epic spells, trinisphere, winter orb, eye of the storm, possibility storm, all is dust. Heck, you can even put darksteel relic or transcendence there so whoever picks that up will make whole table laugh.

Also as I see that you guys took some interest, so i would like to ask you if you would be so kind to check the rules, because if there is something that makes the variant unplayable then it will be a problem.

Regarding those issues:
2,3,4 - that's intended as part of your strategy. You can add something like 5x Ruinous Ultimatum, but it can be also used against you. It also gives you a chance to use some spells of colors other than your color identity in commander.

Hi, I would be thankful for all your opinions on our idea and for correcting our mistakes.

With my firend we came up with a new variant for Magic we called Archaeologist. We were upset by how new Learn mechanic works and we are fans of Planechase so it takes quite a bit from both of them. It adds a communal deck of instants, sorceries, enchantments and/or artifacts (no creatures, planeswalkers, lands and MDFCs) that can be acquired once a turn by rolling a planar die. Each player adds 5 cards to this deck before the game and it can be anything thats of the mentioned previously types and is not banned in the format you are playing. The details are in rules i written for this (in link below).

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AJHNvYF-w10ZqgXe-y12Qvu9JceCGQ1Z/view

We are EDH players and we were upset because cards that use wishes and sideboards are at least haf useless, but we are open for variants that are compatible with commander like planechase or archenemy.
So if anyone have some tips or see some mistakes, thanks in advance.

Thanks, now I think I know what to do.

Edit: that was painful for my eyes but here is the solution that worked.
1. Using ctrl+H in excel delete every quote (") from the file
2. Using ctrl+H change every comma (,) to semicolon (
3. Manually change every semicolon in card names back to comma (that was a pain with 2999 lines of text)
4. Use Text to Column tool and separate the text using semicolon as separator.
5. You can now safely import your CSV file choosing semicolon as separator in importing tool on website.

Hi, I exported my collection to divide it into two CSV files (made copy of the original and left only the first line, then copy and paste from one to the other file) and now I can't import either of them. It says:

Error: Unexpected number of separators in line #1. If the card name contains a comma, try to enclose it in quotation marks. If it contains a quotation mark, add a backslash in front of it like this: \"

 How can i do it then? the first line from CSV looks like this:

amount,card_name,is_foil,is_pinned,set_id,set_code,collector_number,language,condition,comment,added

I know, but it's meant to be "0 cmc tribal" or something like that. Moro of a joke and deck for fun than a one to actually compete for win. Although i have a budget deck with only cmc 1 and it's actually great.
