{"ops":[{"insert":"Welcome to the Tower of WHTZ!\n\nThis isn't commander but a commander inspired variant, so a few cards are banned in commander. Proxying those cards or the entire tower is encouraged as it ain't cheap. \n\nSo, what is Tower of WHTZ? It's a 396 card tower of Azorius counters, blink, interaction, and the wildest win condition "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Battle of Wits"}},{"insert":" ! the goal is simple, find the wittiest Whtz that wins with wits!

Players can only win 2 ways. 1 with Battle of wits, 2 through commander damage. \n\nRule 3. Players life can go negative but unless they die to commander damage or another player wins with Battle of wits they will still be in the game. \n\nRule 4. The library and graveyard are shared by all 4 players. \n\nRule 5. You can still loose to an unpaid "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pact of Negation"}},{"insert":" trigger. \n\nRule 6. Effects with \"you (or players) have no maximum hand size are banned. ones that make effect hand size but don't make it unlimited are legal (e.g. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Ten Rings"}},{"insert":") are legal.\n\nRule 7. Effects that exile the entire graveyard are banned.\n\nRule 8. If Battle of wits, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger"}},{"insert":" , or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kozilek, Butcher of Truth"}},{"insert":" are exiled from any zone instead shuffle them into the library.\n\nTo avoid too many mulligans due to players search for battle of wits, and to guarantee access to both colors of mana the mulligan rules are as follows:\n\n1. Each player will get one snow covered plains and one snow covered island at the beginning of the game \n\n2. They will then draw 5 cards. \n\n3. If a player chooses to mulligan that hand they place the plains and island down puts the 5 they drew to the bottom and draw 5 more cards. They put one of those 5 cards to the bottom and can then take the island and plains back into their hand. \n\n6. You repeat this process for each mulligan going down one card per mulligan. A player cannot mulligan away the two basics. \n\nRules clarification for shared library \n\n1. All draws from the library are placed on the stack and if anyone puts another draw on the stack those draws will resolve using the stack's last in first out rules. \n\n2. Effects that cause multiple people to draw will resolve active player then turn order. For example if player 1 casts "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Prosperity"}},{"insert":" player 1 would draw their cards first, then player 2 then player 3 then player 4\n\n3. Cards that refer to your or an opponent's graveyard or library apply to the shared library and graveyard equally. \n\nHouse rules are encouraged and if you have ones you find fun please comment them as I may add them here to the primer in \"Suggested house rules\" \n\nCards you think would be good additions that are not in this list please comment with them. This is the earliest version of the deck. Scryfall is great but I definitely haven't seen every artifact, land, white or blue card in existence. \n\nSuggested shuffle method. \n\nBreak the tower in 4 giving each player just under 100 cards. Each player shuffles their cards and separates them into 4 piles. Pass one pile at random to your left. The one you get shuffle into one of your piles. Pass your large pile to the left and repeat until you have one sack of cards remaining. Place piles randomly in the tower. \n\nCommunity House Rules \n\n1. You may add "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Yorion, Sky Nomad"}},{"insert":" to the companion zone of the deck. if you do, it's to hand cost can be done at instant speed by any player. There can be more than one person who attempts to get the Yorion from the companion zone, if another player pays it's to hand cost last the to hand will be resolved in last in first out order.\n\n2. Play with Battle of wits in a marked sleeve. \n\nExperimental rules:\n\n1. The player with the most life at the end of the game may change a single card in the deck. Check the list every year for updates and an annual reset to the deck. \n\n2. Drawing for opening turn follows the same rules as commander.\n\n3. Initial draw: player one doesn't draw, player 2 draws, player 3 scry 1 draw, player 4 starts turn one upkeep with a tapped basic (they can use either of their seeded basics for this) and scry 1 draw. \n\nStrategic Tips\n\n1. Much of the removal is top deck removal. If a player wants to deny access to a card to an opponent, forcing the draw can often be wrong. Instead let others go for the draw then tutor to change the draws entirely and mess with what those players game plans were. \n\n2. Don't count out brawn over brains in the format. There are multiple enchantments that can make WHTZ massive. One shoting players is very accomplishable. \n\n3. Remember the draws go on the stack so you can interact with them. there are priority windows that allow for changing specific cards. \n\n4. Often a player may go for the battle of wits win by drawing the deck discarding to hand size and holding a grip of counter magic to protect the wits. This is the moment stifle shines. Stifle the trigger on the titan shuffle and then have the table defend the stifle to stop a wits win is viable. But be warned, this is also the scenario with the highest chance of causing the table to deck out. \n\n5. Remember the person who draws first looses. In a battle over the top of the deck the last draw goes on the top of the stack so that player will get the card you wanted. you can do this to manipulate the table as well tutoring a bad card to the top to make them fight over a bad resource because they thought it was good. \n\n6. This is a resource game, get as much ramp and interaction as possible and protect your chosen win. \n"}]}

Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"Welcome to the Tower of WHTZ!\n\nThis isn't commander but a commander inspired variant, so a few cards are banned in commander. Proxying those cards or the entire tower is encouraged as it ain't cheap. \n\nSo, what is Tower of WHTZ? It's a 396 card tower of Azorius counters, blink, interaction, and the wildest win condition "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Battle of Wits"}},{"insert":" ! the goal is simple, find the wittiest Whtz that wins with wits! The rules are built for fun and a challenge! Will you fight over control of Battle of wits or will you gather power to win through commander damage? Use your Whtz and find what you think is the best way forward!\n\nRule 1. Players must play "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Whtz, the Bibliophile"}},{"insert":"as their commander. \n\nRule 2. Players can only win 2 ways. 1 with Battle of wits, 2 through commander damage. \n\nRule 3. Players life can go negative but unless they die to commander damage or another player wins with Battle of wits they will still be in the game. \n\nRule 4. The library and graveyard are shared by all 4 players. \n\nRule 5. You can still loose to an unpaid "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pact of Negation"}},{"insert":" trigger. \n\nRule 6. Effects with \"you (or players) have no maximum hand size are banned. ones that make effect hand size but don't make it unlimited are legal (e.g. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Ten Rings"}},{"insert":") are legal.\n\nRule 7. Effects that exile the entire graveyard are banned.\n\nRule 8. If Battle of wits, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger"}},{"insert":" , or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kozilek, Butcher of Truth"}},{"insert":" are exiled from any zone instead shuffle them into the library.\n\nTo avoid too many mulligans due to players search for battle of wits, and to guarantee access to both colors of mana the mulligan rules are as follows:\n\n1. Each player will get one snow covered plains and one snow covered island at the beginning of the game \n\n2. They will then draw 5 cards. \n\n3. If a player chooses to mulligan that hand they place the plains and island down puts the 5 they drew to the bottom and draw 5 more cards. They put one of those 5 cards to the bottom and can then take the island and plains back into their hand. \n\n6. You repeat this process for each mulligan going down one card per mulligan. A player cannot mulligan away the two basics. \n\nRules clarification for shared library \n\n1. All draws from the library are placed on the stack and if anyone puts another draw on the stack those draws will resolve using the stack's last in first out rules. \n\n2. Effects that cause multiple people to draw will resolve active player then turn order. For example if player 1 casts "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Prosperity"}},{"insert":" player 1 would draw their cards first, then player 2 then player 3 then player 4\n\n3. Cards that refer to your or an opponent's graveyard or library apply to the shared library and graveyard equally. \n\nHouse rules are encouraged and if you have ones you find fun please comment them as I may add them here to the primer in \"Suggested house rules\" \n\nCards you think would be good additions that are not in this list please comment with them. This is the earliest version of the deck. Scryfall is great but I definitely haven't seen every artifact, land, white or blue card in existence. \n\nSuggested shuffle method. \n\nBreak the tower in 4 giving each player just under 100 cards. Each player shuffles their cards and separates them into 4 piles. Pass one pile at random to your left. The one you get shuffle into one of your piles. Pass your large pile to the left and repeat until you have one sack of cards remaining. Place piles randomly in the tower. \n\nCommunity House Rules \n\n1. You may add "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Yorion, Sky Nomad"}},{"insert":" to the companion zone of the deck. if you do, it's to hand cost can be done at instant speed by any player. There can be more than one person who attempts to get the Yorion from the companion zone, if another player pays it's to hand cost last the to hand will be resolved in last in first out order.\n\n2. Play with Battle of wits in a marked sleeve. \n\nExperimental rules:\n\n1. The player with the most life at the end of the game may change a single card in the deck. Check the list every year for updates and an annual reset to the deck. \n\n2. Drawing for opening turn follows the same rules as commander.\n\n3. Initial draw: player one doesn't draw, player 2 draws, player 3 scry 1 draw, player 4 starts turn one upkeep with a tapped basic (they can use either of their seeded basics for this) and scry 1 draw. \n\nStrategic Tips\n\n1. Much of the removal is top deck removal. If a player wants to deny access to a card to an opponent, forcing the draw can often be wrong. Instead let others go for the draw then tutor to change the draws entirely and mess with what those players game plans were. \n\n2. Don't count out brawn over brains in the format. There are multiple enchantments that can make WHTZ massive. One shoting players is very accomplishable. \n\n3. Remember the draws go on the stack so you can interact with them. there are priority windows that allow for changing specific cards. \n\n4. Often a player may go for the battle of wits win by drawing the deck discarding to hand size and holding a grip of counter magic to protect the wits. This is the moment stifle shines. Stifle the trigger on the titan shuffle and then have the table defend the stifle to stop a wits win is viable. But be warned, this is also the scenario with the highest chance of causing the table to deck out. \n\n5. Remember the person who draws first looses. In a battle over the top of the deck the last draw goes on the top of the stack so that player will get the card you wanted. you can do this to manipulate the table as well tutoring a bad card to the top to make them fight over a bad resource because they thought it was good. \n\n6. This is a resource game, get as much ramp and interaction as possible and protect your chosen win. \n"}]}
