Gladiator Format Rules
- Gladiator is a 100 card singleton format, meaning a required minimum deck size of 100 cards, with a maximum of 1 copy per card. Exceptions to the rule are Basic Lands, and cards featuring abilities allowing you to ignore the "one-of" rule. (Rat Colony, Seven Dwarves, etc)
- Gladiator draws from the MTG Arena card pool. This includes Arena exlcusive cards (MTGA New Player Experience) and allows for certain cards that may be otherwise banned/suspended in sanctioned formats (Once Upon a Time, Burning-Tree Emissary, etc)
- Gladiator does not use a sideboard, and does not require a Commander. As such, while cards with Companion are legal to include in your deck, they will not be available as a Companion.
- Gladiator uses a banned list.
The banned list for the format is as follows:
As of April 27th, 2021
Oko, Thief of Crowns, Pre-Format Ban
Field of the Dead, July 16th 2020
