As we continually strive to ensure a balanced and enjoyable gaming experience, we're announcing some important updates. The Tiny Leaders Reborn Committee (TLC) has decided to keep Flawless Maneuver on the Watchlist, add Broadside Bombardiers to the Watchlist, and ban Whiteplume Adventurer. These decisions are based on weeks of discussions based around the current metagame and community feedback, aimed at promoting a diverse and interactive metagame. Details below. . . Flawless Maneuver: The TLC has decided to keep Flawless Maneuver on the Watchlist. While it adds versatility as a reactionary combat trick, concerns about its impact on gameplay balance persist. It can shut down key removal spells and board wipes, cr...

  Hello Tiny Players ! MTG foundations releases today which means it 's time for another B &R check in ! Forth Eorlingas ! is banned Ajani , Nacatl Pariah is Banned as Commander only White Plume Adventurer is Watchlisted Flawless Maneuver is Watchlisted Forth is an extremely powerful card which can often win a game by itself . Not only does it very efficiently create stats on board , it also comes with the powerful Monarch ability (a mechanic we have previously banned in Court of Cunning ) Forth was watchlisted in a previous B &R update because we were hearing /seeing problems from the card , but not seeing them in a density that we were worried about . It seems like our players took this message as a challenge . Since then the card’s popularity spiked and has resulted in a somewhat homogenous meta of RW decks ( . . . again ) . Combined with new pieces of power from MH3 , it was finally time to take action against the RW “I win” button card . Speaking of RW Modern Hor...

  Hello Tiny Players! Today we have an update to our banlist. Nadu, Winged Wisdom is banned as Commander Mana Drain is unbanned Nadu, Winged Wisdom is watchlisted Forth Eorlingas! Is watchlisted Nadu: We’ve decided to only ban Nadu as Commander for now. The power level of Nadu is well documented in Tiny and beyond, and it clearly justifies having action taken against it. A single turn with Nadu’s combo generates enough value to bury an opponent for the rest of the game. Even with reasonable answers the Bird usually is able to pay for his own commander tax and continue generating advantage. The decks putting Nadu in the zone boast unbelievable winrates in our community tournaments and beyond While still a powerful combo enabler once assembled, we don’t believe Nadu will be the unbeatable powerhouse he is now once you’re limited to just one copy, and unable to access him on-demand.  Nadu is Watchlisted: We’re not letting the bird out of our sights just yet though. We’re going to...

  Effective January 1st 2024 Jeska, Thrice Reborn is banned as commander. It's been no secret that since we reverted the partner rules in June, Jeska has been a dominant force in the tiny meta with not just one but TWO different partners and strategies. Aggressive decks partnering Yoshimaru have proved to be overwhelmingly successful, and value oriented decks partnering Thrasios have been seeing high success rates as well. These have been more successful than we’re comfortable with. We take a lot of things into account when deciding to make ban list changes. One of the biggest factors being reasonable counter-play. Could you be doing more in your deck building to avoid losing to this deck? Often the answer to that question is yes. So we like to give players time to try and solve the puzzle and give opportunities for unclaimed niches to be filled. Jeska however has proven to be a tougher nut to crack.  A combination of many factors (being a planeswalker, living in the command z...

  Hello from the Tiny Leaders Reborn Council! No time for pleasantries, we have a major rules change to announce! New rule: A player using more than one commander begins the game with a forced mulligan. This is achieved by drawing cards equal to the player's starting hand size and choosing one to place on the bottom of their library. This counts as the player’s first mulligan. Subsequent mulligans are treated as normal. This is an exception to rules 103.5 and 103.5b Basically: If you’re playing with more than one commander, your mulligan is gonna start at 1. You’ll still look at Seven cards like normal, but to counteract your extra card in the command zone you’ll have to put one away, plus any additional mulligans you may take. Long time Tiny players may notice this is the same rule we had before the current rule! That’s correct! So let's talk about why we’re doing this. Philosophy: Partner commanders have been a problem for Tiny for some time. The advantage gained by always ...

 What's new today ? Some changes of presentation on the Blog. Nothing new regarding the rules and the ban list. The rules section has been updated with completely reworked docs. They contain all the useful information for your games with friends and for the organization of events and tournaments. Cards that were under watch seem to have been taken into account by everyone in their decklists and general game strategies. They remain under watch, but do not require any action on our part at this time. That's all for today.

  Hi Tiny Leaders Reborn fans! We have many things to share with you today, so without further ado, let's get into it! Fuuuuuuusion! Since May 2022, the Tiny Leaders Reborn committee welcomed into its midst Steven Hamonic, the last manager of the Original Tiny Leaders format. Unfortunately, this fusion project between Original Tiny Leaders and Tiny Leaders Reborn has failed. Therefore, Tiny Leaders Reborn will keep making things progress with the continued development of the game itself and stay as it is: a competitive way to play a very fun magic format. Banlist Since our last announcement in March, no particular problem has been observed. The last sets came with many new tools, but nothing has seemed to be too overpowered for now. This is the reason why today there will be no changes to the ban list. We would like to clarify some points: 1) We're aware of your concerns about our last rules update about decks with more than one commander, especially now t...
