Rules and decklist used in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-uJBOSN5XQ][this CardMarket video]].
** Rules
1. You must play every card in your hand as soon as legally possible. All
   optional modes are mandatory, to the extent that you can fulfill them. You
   must activate every activated ability of permanents you control once per turn
   per legal target as soon as legally possible. Always activate abilities from
   the bottom of the card up.
2. All spells that have a target must be cast, even if that game action is
   sub-optimal or flat out silly.
3. All optional modes are mandatory, to the extent that you can fulfill them.
   Play all cards as read from the top of the card down.
4. You must attack with all legal attackers and block with all legal blockers
   whenever the option is presented to you.
5. If a spell or ability has X in its mana cost, X is always 3.
6. It's up to players to remember to activate the abilities on their own
   creatures or triggers caused by their own permanents. If you activate an
   ability on a card during a player's turn, you must activate that same ability
   on the same phase of the same player's next turn.
7. Players that are out of the round cannot comment, assist, or point out rules
   violations, and must remain silent until the next round. They may eat snacks
   if available.

Each player has 20 life, which resets each turn, and share a single library and
graveyard. A player loses the game if another player points out a violation of
the above rules, or if the player is dealt 20 life within a single turn. The
last remaining player of a game is awarded a point. The first player to reach 3
points wins the match.
