What is the 75% rule in MTG?
The term “75%” refers to a hypothetical sweet spot between a fully-tuned deck (here imagined to be 100% tuned) and a more casual, fun deck (an imagined 50%). Simply put, the 75% rule is a guideline for building decks that are strong enough to win but not so overpowering that they ruin the fun for others. It’s about striking a balance between competitiveness and enjoyment.
What is rule 0 in MTG?
Rule Zero is a longstanding tradition in many games. It is the philosophy that each group is best at deciding what is most fun for them, and are encouraged to change the rules within their group to make that happen. Commander does not have an enforcement arm. Rule 0 is an unofficial rule in Commander that allows players to modify the rules of a non-competitive game. The catch? Everyone who’s participating has to agree to the changes before the game begins. If you’re familiar with the term “house rules,” it’s the same concept.
