Nomad — A Travel-Optimized MTG Format

Born on the backroads and campfires, Nomad is a custom Magic: The Gathering format designed for minimalism, portability, and maximum replayability. Whether you're riding across states or pitching a tent under the stars, Nomad strips the game to its essentials: 40 cards, one die, and no clutter.

Philosophy: No Baggage

No tokens. No counters. No extras. Just your deck, your wits, and a roll-down D20. Inspired by the spirit of adventure, Nomad gameplay is fast, fair, and focused.

Format Basics

  • 40-card main deck
  • 20-card sideboard
  • Singleton (one of each card)
  • No tokens, counters, or extra components
  • Legacy banlist + Nomad-specific exclusions

Why Play Nomad?

Whether you're traveling solo or dueling in a mountain town coffee shop, Nomad brings tactical Magic anywhere — no clutter, no tracking, just gameplay. It's a love letter to simplicity for travelers and tabletop tacticians alike.
