No changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murders at Karlov Manor has some returning mechanics, so here are some rule refreshers:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Face-down cards<\/em> are in the set, so a reminder: normally, you don\u2019t have to reveal what any face down card is, but if your Commander is turned face-down, it is still a Commander card that deals Commander damage. You do need to make the other players aware – no surprising anyone with lethal Commander damage from a face down card!<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Surveil<\/em> is also returning in this set, and some older cards have been errata\u2019d to have the keyword \u201csurveil\u201d in the rules text (like Search for Azcanta.) Worth checking out things that had the effect (but not the keyword) if you\u2019re playing a Commander like Mirko, Obsessive Theorist.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Split Cards are back as well! Seasoned Commander players are likely already well aware, but for anyone that\u2019s new, the color identity of BOTH spells on split cards must fit with your Commander\u2019s Color Identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The example here of Cease\/\/Desist is an Abzan card, requiring WBG to be in your Commander\u2019s Color Identity, even if you only want to cast one side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Slime Against Humanity joins the illustrious club of \u201cCan Run More Than One of This Card In Commander\u201d along with Relentless Rats, Shadowborn Apostle and Persistent Petitioners, among others. While it allows you to ignore the singleton rule, it does NOT allow you to ignore Color Identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The format continues to be in a pretty good place overall, and MKM doesn\u2019t appear to contain any cards that challenge or detract from our vision for the format.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
