MtG Commander: Scenarios

Scenarios is a variant of Commander designed to be played by a single player. Scenarios are highly customizable, and can easily be altered given the power level of the player’s deck. All scenarios, however, will adhere to the following rules: The Scenario Decks - Create three separate decks for the scenario. Do not include basic lands. These decks will provide the cards to oppose the player. Use your own discretion to determine which cards best fit each of the decks. All decks may only include one copy of any card. Scenarios utilize the Commander Ban List. Cards used by the scenario do not pay mana costs for spells, so any lands included in the scenario decks should be chosen for gameplay abilities and not for mana production. Basic Deck (30-40 cards) - This deck will hold lower power level cards. These cards should not have a significant effect on the battlefield, but help build momentum for the scenario. Example cards for the Basic deck would be creatures such as Llanowar
