2024: AB4K as played by Alpha Males

As the ancient scrolls of Magic are unfurled once more, a select gathering of the most seasoned spellcasters has been called to compete in a tournament unlike any other. This year, the Alpha-Beta Magic the Gathering tournament will echo the primordial days of our beloved game, harkening back to the very origins of spellcasting prowess.

In this hallowed competition, the rules of the Alpha 40 League will guide the duels, yet with a twist that only the most cunning of mages can appreciate: Beta cards will be somewhat permitted, but only as long as the Alpha 40 League authorities will remain ignorant of their presence. Needless to say, regarding the full weight of the consequences and penalties: all damages resulting from the violation of keeping this a secret shall rest solely upon the shoulders of the transgressor.

Yet, do not be deceived by the inclusion of Beta cards; while these artifacts may offer new opportunities, they must be wielded with the wisdom and restraint befitting a true Alpha 40 disciple. The path to victory will be fraught with peril, as the spirits of the earliest spellcasters watch from beyond, judging those who dare to tread upon the sacred ground of this tournament.

Therefore, this years rules read as follows:

• Alpha 40 League rules (for those who have been living under a rock, read them here)
• Trial summer 2024 mulligan rule, which can be read here (rule 23)
• Proxy cards printed in Beta are considered appropriate (notably, Circle of Protection: Black and some obscure land cards)
• Additionally, standard AB4K rules, such as the restriction of Control Magic, still apply
• In case of contradicting and/or ambiguous rules and/or ambivalent interpretation, the conflict will be resolved over a round of drinks. In case the score has not yet been settled, repeat prior actions until players have reached an agreement or any one of the players passes out.

Needless to say, Beta cards will be considered proxies and are frowned upon, though still allowed as tools of the trade, as per usual in AB4K. Stoning wizards who, out of bitter necessity, have decided to own and/or play with Beta cards, is discouraged for the duration of the tournament.
