Bracket 3 Commander - Kaiju EDH rules (No Infinites, No Instant Wins)

Kaiju Commander rules - full rules here #

Kaiju Commander is a custom Magic: The Gathering format built for big plays, dramatic turns, and a test of threat assessment—without the cheesy, instant-win combos.

It’s still Commander: 100-card decks, one copy of each card (except basics), and a legendary creature leading your army. But Kaiju adds a few important rules:

❌ No infinite combos. If your deck tries to "go infinite", it’s not allowed.

❌ “You win the game” effects don’t work. You’ve got to win the old-fashioned way—combat, spells, or grinding it out.

❌ No “hard lock” strategies. Don’t bring decks that try to deny everyone’s agency to play the game without any outs.

✅ Explosive turns are still welcome—as long as they’re fair and fun.

For a wide starting coverage on what is NOT allowed, you can check the combos in this list.

Casual Playtest Event #

Limited number of Playtest cards allowed

• Proxy RL+10: You are allowed to playtest all the Reserved List cards in your deck plus ten additional cards of your choosing. See list of Reserved List cards

• A Playtest card is a card (typically a basic land) marked with the name of another Magic card for the purpose of playtesting.

• Playtest cards are not trying to be reproductions of real Magic cards; they do not have official art and they would not pass even as the real thing even under the most cursory glance.

• All playtest cards must be printed or placed on cardstock of the appropriate thickness and dimensions, ensuring they match the original cards in your library.

• All playtest cards must NOT use original WotC art unless they are Gold-bordered cards, Collectors' Edition, Intl. Collectors' Edition, or 30th Anniversary Edition cards.

WPN policy on counterfeits:

• Counterfeit card — An inauthentic Magic card made to pass as, or represent, an existing authentic Magic card. Counterfeit Magic cards will often use Wizard’s registered trademarks, logos, card mechanics, card names, and artwork.
