Magic: The Gathering

Commander

Singleton · 100 cards, one legendary commander

A singleton 100-card format built around a legendary creature in the command zone whose colour identity constrains the other 99. Commander is multiplayer by default and by far the most played way to play Magic. Its banned list is maintained separately from the competitive formats, with social play rather than tournament balance in mind.
