About 30 Cent EDH

A community-curated Commander variant where the deckbuilding pool is everything that costs $0.30 or less on TCGPlayer.

The format

• Standard 100-card singleton EDH/Commander rules.
• Every card in the 99 must be $0.30 or less per Scryfall / TCGPlayer pricing.
• Commander must also be $0.30 or less but follows standard EDH commander eligibility (legendary creatures, "can be your commander", partners, backgrounds).
• The curator-maintained ban list overrides pricing — a handful of cards are excluded due to inaccurate pricing or no legal printing under the cap.

Sources

The card pool, ban list, and watchlist are mirrored nightly from the official 30 Cent EDH Google Sheet. Oracle text, prices, and images come from Scryfall. The full format primer lives in this Google Doc.

Prices drift. Each night a GitHub Action re-pulls the Sheet, re-fetches Scryfall's bulk data, recomputes eligibility, and redeploys this site — so a card that's $0.28 today may quietly drop out of the 99-eligible list tomorrow.

Word count

Each card's rules-text word count is computed and exposed as an optional filter for players who like to keep their decks readable. It is not part of format legality. The counter excludes reminder text in parentheses, treats each mana / loyalty symbol as one word, and tokenizes keywords literally (so "First strike" is 2 words and "Flying" is 1).
