MTG Oathbreaker Format


What is Oathbreaker?

Many Planeswalkers took oaths to defend and protect the inhabitants of the multiverse. To fight each other, these oaths will be broken.

In Oathbreaker, each 60 card singleton deck is led by a Planeswalker designated as that deck’s Oathbreaker. Each deck has a Signature Spell that falls within the Oathbreaker’s color identity. Both of these cards reside in the command zone. 

The Oathbreaker variant uses all the normal rules for a Magic game, with a few additions. 

The Basic Rules.
  • Oathbreaker is multiplayer format, played with 60 card singleton decks (only one copy of each card, no limit on basic lands).
  • You start the game with your Oathbreaker and Signature Spell in the command zone.
  • Your starting life is 20 .
  • Your “Oathbreaker” is a Planeswalker. Its color identity determines the contents of your deck.
  • Your “Signature Spell” must be an instant or sorcery card that falls within your Oathbreaker’s color identity.
  • You cast your Oathbreaker from your command zone.
  • Your Signature Spell may only be cast if your Oathbreaker is on the battlefield under your control.
  • Both your Oathbreaker and Signature Spell are subject to “command zone tax”. These taxes are tracked individually, i.e. casting your Oathbreaker doesn’t cause your Signature Spell to cost more.
  • To find out more, read the full rules which are on the Oathbreaker site.
