Sounds like a decent setup.

 

Me and my friends used to play this weird MTG format. It was like, get a pile with a certain amount of rares, commons, and uncommons and mix them up. I’ll call this the “deck”

 

Then you make 3 “piles” with 1 card each from the top of the “deck”.

 

Player 1 looks at the first card of the first slot and if he wants it, he takes it and replaced that pile with 1 card of the “deck”. If he doesn’t want it, he puts 1 card from the top of the “deck” into that pile and looks at pile #2. If he wants the card(s) in pile 2, he takes it, if not, he puts a card from the “deck” and puts it into pile 2. He does the same thing for pile 3; if he doesn’t want it, he puts a card into the pile and then DRAWS a card from the “deck”. So it would look like this now.

#1      #2     #3           "Deck"
2C's    2C's  2C's      Alot of C's

 

If player 2 doesn’t want pile 1 but wants pile 2, the new piles look like this.

#1      #2     #3           "Deck"
3C's    1C     2C's      Alot of C's

 

C’s = Cards, not commons.

 

Kind of confusing. I can SHOW someone alot easier than explaining it this way…

 

ANYWAYS, then you have a ton of basic lands and people can take as much as they want to make 40 or 60 cards decks, whichever you want.

It’s alot of fun, because you HAVE to play cards you normally wouldn’t. Some decks get ridiculously funny.

 

BTW, I don’t play type 2, and this keeps old cards refreshing since you use so many useless cards in these decks. Like I said, really fun, really funny.
