Tiny Leaders!
TinyLeaders is the hot new format on the block and is taking the Magic scene by storm. It's a hybrid format between Commander and EDH where you play a commander in a 50 card singleton deck and your cards must be three mana or less! We have you covered here at MTGGoldfish, so check out Tiny Leaders: Introduction and this week's podcast where we cover our initial impressions of the new format. What are we playing at MTGGoldfish? SaffronOlive is playing Esper Control, Richard is playing Tempo Geist, and Tomer is playing Tempo Shu Yun. What will you play?
