This is the first draft and is really shabby, if you would like to see it I think I can post it here. It has a lot of twists and I have played about fifty trail games to work out some kinks, but any feedback is more than welcomed . . . as long as it is peaceful.
PS: I do not know why it says html removed lol. html_removed html_removed
Speed Variant created by Veladem P.E.B.III.
905.1 Speed variant. 905.2 All rules from casual, Ante, and Tournament apply in this variant. 905.2a Rules that may conflict in these mixed variants take priority in this order; Ante, Casual, and Tournament. Ante < Casual < Tournament. Were any rules may conflict this rule is always followed. (Unless stated, "This rule takes priority over the above varients as a default rule of the Speed variant." or, "*". 905.3 (All lands in players hands are placed in a zone named the "Pitt", wherever that zone may be designated, for all players to see.) Players may play as many lands as desired from the active players respective Pitt zone. (Lands in the Pitt are not considered cards in a non-active players hand.) "*" 905.3a Lands in play move to the Pitt when a player passes his turn to the opponent. "*" 905.3b Lands in the Pitt can only be played by their owner, unless (905.3) conflicts. "*" Example: It is Rob's turn. Rob can not play cards from any players Pitt, other than his own. Other players may play cards from Rob's Pitt. Only Rob's Pitt is considered to be in his hand. Example: Alex may play Rob's cards onto the field from the Pitt, even when it is Rob's turn, but only on Rob's field. 905.4 (Jump) Players may choose to play as many lands in their Pitt during the times stated in Tournament rules. "*" 905.5 (Whisper) Players may draw a extra card from their library when they play two, four, six, etc. lands. "*" 905.6 (Shout) Players may draw a extra card from their opponents library when they play four, eight, twelve, etc. lands from their Pitt. "*" 905.7 (Scream) Players may look at and discard, or play cards from their opponents hands onto their field when they play four of the same color or all different colored lands from their respective Pitt. "*" Example: Scream + Shout = Four same color lands or four different colored lands and, not to be combined with the previously stated, Four, eight, twelve, etc lands from their Pitt. With the effects, from 905.6 and 905.7. "*" 905.8 Each player has 100 life, the player to go first has 100 life, the second player has five less (95), and the next five less etc. "*" 905.9 The player to win the match is the player with the most life or the last standing player. With second and third place being applicable if their are three or more players. "*" 906.1 If in a game were Ante rules apply there are three players, the player in first chooses his prize of one card first, knowingly, than second and third place set the rest of the ante cards face down and shuffle them, the player in second gets first choice than the player in third. "*" Example: Larger scale game of seven players and seven ante cards with two winners. Player in first gets first choice at the slightly larger than 50% portion of cards being 4 ante cards face down and shuffled. Example 2: If in the same game there are three winners. The player in first gets his choice at 3 ante cards, knowingly, than the players in second and third shuffle four ante cards face down, second place getting first choice at his or her share of two ante cards. 906.2 A planeswalker may be played on any turn a active player may control, than only on every other turn, for that player. More than one instance of a planeswalker may be played on the field at any time, leaving room for as many planeswalkers as the active player may play. However still constricted to the one planeswalker a turn rule or every other turn rule. "*" 906.3 A planeswalker may be played as a player or a creature if played as a player the standard rules above apply. If played as a creature, triple the planeswalkers health, and make that number equal to the creatures P/T. "*" 906.4 Planeswalkers played as creatures are not effected by summoning sickness, but also do not have Haste and can not attack first turn they are out. "*" 906.5 Use the planeswalkers abilities as tap abilities. +1 abilities put a +1/+1 counter on the planeswalker creature. -5 abilities put a -5/-5 counter on the planeswalker, etc. "*" 906.6 Players may play the Jump, Whisper, Shout, and Scream abilities during their upkeep. "*" 906.7 During the active players respective untap step they may play from the Pitt any land cards there. 906.8 Lands in the Pitt are part of the active players hand, but do not apply to the seven card hand limit. "*" 906.9 The non-active player may play the active players lands from the Pitt onto the active players field for use anytime a instant could be played except during the active players untap, upkeep, and draw phases. "*" 907.1 Mana burn applies to both players as of the above rules. "*" 907.2 The spread is the area on the field where both players put cards taken from oponent for their own use on their fields. "*" 907.3 The spread can have lands that do not move into the Pitt during the normal time that lands would move into the Pitt. "*"
Just the beginning of course.

There's not terribly much to give feedback on. I find this thread hard to respond properly to.
Everything Mown does is elegant.

Maybe it would be easier if you just explained what you were going for instead of trying to list it in the comprehensive rules format. Basically it sounds out like everyone starts out with a Fastbond with no downside... so then the rest of the rules dont really matter because whoever goes first wins turn 1... Also I really dont understand the purpose behind completely altering the rules for planeswalkers? And what the heck is a "pitt"?

Yeah it is kinda like that, and as for going deeper into detail on what I'm looking for.
Some people to play their decks in this format if they have time, and are willing. And if anyone can even understand the format that I layed out, it is kinda sloppy.
Some responses on how their game play went.
Some improvements on what this format is like.
And as for the planeswalkers, I did that as a means of tweaking the new rules so that this format would hold a bit more brute speed gameplay and for the opponent to have a chance at taking the planeswalker for his or her own use.
Like how if you were to play a planeswalker you could choose to play it as a creature instead of a player. Just more options.
And I do not really understand what you mean by "wins turn 1..."
And I believe the Pitt is described in my set of rules as a designated area for land cards in a players hand that everyone playing can openly view and even make use of. html_removed

I've had ideas for my own casual game mode, not to hijack this thread intentionally. Haven't worked out the name for it yet, but one I was thinking about during my general bology course [probably why I barely passed :P]: - Normal rules apply EXCEPT: - No lifegain, no tutoring, no library reshuffling [including exiled and cards in your graveyard], mulligans allowed. - Cards that have lifegain as part of an ability or effect lose that, same with cards where part of the effect is reshuffling your library into your hand. (so if you have for example Golem's Heart , or Elixir of Immortality , or Diabolic Tutor , completely useles in this format, but if you have a card like Agent of Masks the life loss for opponents wil apply, but the lifegain for the caster doesn't happen.) Basically the idea was to make a format where you are more reliant on what you have in your hand, and your draw, forced to rought it so to speak. Obviously though there are big problems in it though, as many deck types would be way O/P.

Wow Escef, I guess you didn't read my post where I asked comments to be peaceful? Or was it just a little early when you read this? Never the less, Travelsonic, sounds like the works of some pretty cool games. I've tested my game mode with my friends and they all think it works pretty well, played around fifty total games. And if you look in the rules that I set up, you can't just force people to discard cards, there's a actual tapping system for the player abilities Jump, Whisper, Shout, and Scream. Not only would you have to bring four lands from the Pitt, but you would also tap four lands to use the ability Scream. html_removed
