Favorite House Rule?

Idk what the ratio is here of people who have their own play groups vs. people who are unfortunate enough to have to play with unknown quantities at their FLGS. Between me, my kids, and friends we will almost always have a minimum of 5 at the table. 4 on rare occasions.

But if you have your own play group, what are some rules y’all use?

One “unspoken” rule in my group is that we have fairly limited removal. At least it seems that way compared to what I’ve noticed on Reddit. Usually 3 max counters and 1-3 board wipes per deck (if that). We have fun seeing what the other guy’s deck can do. Almost always a wipe or two per game

We also decided about a year ago to play with what one guy said is a “permanent” [[Howling Mine]] but it’s closer to [[Rites of Flourishing]]. Draw two, play two lands each turn. I’ve gotten so used to it that standard play feels slow.

Although it’s funny because the guy that insisted on it is still just about as slow as he always was. He has to read all of his cards all the time, even though he only plays the same two decks, and for the longest time he was convinced that 33 out of 99 was the proper and best amount of land.

Oh, we also allow anyone to block for anyone. It doesn’t happen all of the time. But when the Sliver guy pops of and gets too big for his britches, he might be surprised who steps up to hold him back.
