Welcome to episode two of 'Let's play Leviathan', a 1v1 commander format with 30 starting life, a unique ban list and the option to swap commanders between best of three matches.

Leviathan ban list: https://leviathancommander.wixsite.com/home/current-ban-list

We've taken 32 of our personal Magic: The Gathering EDH brews and had them randomly sorted into a single elimination bracket tournament style system (think Wimbledon but with way more dragons). And to make it more personal and high-stakes, we're married - magic content that could end in a divorce - how could you pass that up? All the frustration, misplays and dismay at the horrible cards I sometimes play have been left in - we aren't experts, we just love magic! All authentic and all fun!

Check my community posts and the end of this video to see the full roster and the matches that each deck have been sorted into. Each match is best of three and even if a deck takes the first two games (and therefore wins), we will play a third just for fun. Deck lists cannot change between rounds.

Match one between Prosper and Toski was posted last week and that result is spoiled in this video!

Note - The decklists below are our non-Leviathan builds. Ben substituted his Sol Ring (banned) for a Talisman of Resilience. I took out Kediss (not banned) for another land as he only functions with more than one opponent.

We will be going live with some of the matches in this series and hosting a live deck building session for two of the decks so you can contribute and see your suggestions in action.

Also, Magic is hard and even harder when you are monitoring cameras and soothing dogs that want walkies and belly rubs - be kind!

Thank you for stopping by and a huge thank you to everyone who has hit subscribe so far.
