Gladiator’s rules are similar to Highlander and Commander in terms of deck format, although there's no actual Commander cards or color restrictions. Decks are 100 cards with no sideboards. Only one copy of any non-basic land card is allowed, and all cards in Arena are legal except for these banned cards: Field of the Dead, Natural Order, Nexus of Fate, Oko, Thief of Crowns, and Teferi, Time Raveler. Standard win conditions apply with both players starting at 20 life.

According to the , the competitive format got started back in 2020 and has onl𓆉y grown in pop꧋ularity since then. Gladiator is intended to provide the same deck-building challenge as other singleton formats but in a tighter, non-multiplayer-focused package.

Wizards of the Coast is showcasing several community-made decks for newcomers to the💧 format, all of which are available to view in the Decks tab of the Magic Arena client. Just scroll down to the bottom 🌌and check under "Community Spotlight: Gladiator.” If you have the cards, you can use any of these decks or take part in the event using your own creations.

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tokyo full-art lands are available, as are a series of check-lands with minim♎alist art provided by Matt Jukes. There are also card sleeves available featuring the alternate monarch art from Peter Diamond, too.
