Duel Commander is a competitive 1-on-1 variant of the classic Commander format in Magic: The Gathering.Each player builds a 100-card singleton deck (99 + the commander), a legendary creature that defines the color identity of the entire deck: no card may fall outside that identity and duplicates are not allowed, except for basic lands. Unlike traditional Commander, you start with only 20 life points, making each game much faster and more tense. The commander starts in the command zone and can be recast multiple times, but each recast adds to its cost. No sideboard is allowed.The format follows its own banlist, updated every two months by a dedicated committee, separate from the Wizards of the Coast one.
