The cheating is getting out of hand

[LucidDream2420]

entered into a match of timeless play, upon entering was paired against someone named The Great Oz who just sat through his turns. that's not what my problem with him was, the problem i had with him was his 240 card deck in a 60 card max format

[magnumaniac]

Where on earth did you get the idea there is a 60 card maximum?

[Nubbles]

For paper magic, the maximum amount of cards in the deck is what a player can shuffle without wasting a lot of time.... maybe OP is a very slow shuffler.

I think you misread 'minimum' of 60 as 'maximum'

i still cannot figure out how to play Timeless deck...

Build 1 before and tried 'Play' and no avail...

Maybe I should try again but am just wondering if there is any special condition that has to be met before you can play Timeless deck...

Thanks in advance...

Are you selecting the Timeless format in Deck Construction?

Yes, I selected Timeless in the deck construction screen...

Let me try it again, thanks~!!! :)

[joonkp1976]

In a face to face game, like tournament style, I thought that the max deck size WAS 60? That's how I was taught anyways, so that's how I've been playing

There is no set limit to deck size except for certain formats. You just have to be able to shuffle your deck without too much effort.

Their are literal competitive decks that revolve around tutoring up and cheating into
play cards like Battle of Wits which say you win the game at the beginning of your upkeep if you have more then 200 cards in your library.
Been printed a few times first in Odyssey, Then again when 9th Edition came around and again when Magic 2013 came around. It's probably due for another reprint or they will be making another card like it here soon.

Go make a 60+ card deck, see what happens...

I'm not going to say you've been taught wrong, because whoever taught you did teach correct practice, but they did not teach exactly according to the rules in this case.

Minimum allowed deck size is 60, there is no maximum as long as you can shuffle unaided within a reasonable period of time.

Traditionally optimal strategy says you shouldn't run any more than 60 cards in your deck (outside of very particular strategies that require it). Having more than 60 in your deck makes the deck less consistent and you less likely to see any particular card during a game.

So yes: your deck can be more than 60 cards. But unless you have a very good reason for doing so, you shouldn't exceed 60 cards in your deck.
("Just in case I run into a mill deck" is not a good reason btw.)
