Changes After Season 3

Ghyrson Starn is the second commander to reach Living Legend!
February 23, 2023
We are hoping that the diversity in commanders are a direct effect of us striving to balance out the meta with Legend Points. Season 2 saw a lot more tri-color commanders in play than we expected and very little meta commanders in the top 8. No other commanders have crossed the threshold just yet.
Season 3 Budget Commander League will start on March 17th. 2023!
Start a brewin!

Light Paws, Emperors Voice is now the first commander to achieve Living Legend. She cannot be played as a commander but can still be included in the 99 card decklist.
Living Legend
Living Legend is a house rule made for the $50 Budget Leagues to prevent certain strategies from dominating the meta for extended periods of time.
At the end of every season, Legend Points are assigned to each commander in the top 8, relative to their placing.
(5, 3, 2, 2, ,1, 1, 1, 1 points each, respectively, from 1st to 8th place)
Then the top 3 players each vote for a commander that participated in that season's Waleague. The commander with the most votes recieves an additional 5 Legend points.
A commander with 10 or more Legend Points is banned as a commander for following seasons of the budget league. They may still be included in the 99 for future decklists. The ban threshold for legend may change as seasons progress.
