The Rules.
Deck Construction
- Players choose a League of Legends legendary creature as the "Commander" for their deck.
- A card's color identity is its color plus the color of any mana symbols in the card's rules text. A card's color identity is established before the game begins, and cannot be changed by game effects.
Cards in a deck may not have any colors in their color identity which are not shared with the commander of the deck. (The identity of each card in the deck must be a subset of the Commander's) - Your League Commander deck must contain exactly 100 cards, including the Commander.
- With the exception of basic lands, no two cards in the deck may have the same english name. Some cards (e.g. Relentless Rats) may have rules text that overrides this restriction.
- League cards can only be used as your commander, none are legal in your deck.

- Players start with 40 life.
- Commanders begin the game in the Command Zone. While a Commander is in the command zone, it may be cast, subject to the normal timing restrictions for casting creatures. Its owner must pay {2} for each time it was previously cast from the command zone; this is an additional cost.
- If a Commander would be put into a library, hand, graveyard or exile from anywhere, its owner may choose to move it to the command zone instead.
- Being a Commander is not a characteristic [MTG CR109.3], it is a property of the card and tied directly to the physical card. As such, "Commander-ness" cannot be copied or overwritten by continuous effects. The card retains it's commanderness through any status changes, and is still a commander even when controlled by another player.
- Players who take 21 damage from a commander lose.
- Players may have exactly 10 cards in their sideboard. Players may exchange any number of cards from their main deck with sideboard cards after each game of a match. Sideboard cards are legal targets for abilities which refer to other cards owned outside the game (Wishes, Spawnsire, Research, Ring of Ma'ruf).
- Before each game, each player chooses and bans 3 League commanders. These commanders may NOT be played during the next match.
