I would definitely talk to Cole as well then! Looking at this Genie's Lamp, I see some key differences in the rules structuring but my primer indicates where I've kind of settled (for now)

NarNar is an unholy union of EDH and DanDan. A curated 4 player jeskai only pod where there are no good choices only less bad ones.

## THE RULES ARE SIMPLE:
* **TWENTY LIFE**
* **START WITH A COMMAND TOWER IN PLAY**
* **EVERYONE HAS A COPY OF NARSET, ENLIGHTENED EXILE IN THE COMMAND ZONE**
* **WHEELS AND SIMILAR DRAW EFFECTS ARE RESOLVED IN TURN ORDER**
* **IF YOU WOULD DRAW FROM AN EMPTY LIBRARY YOU DIE (unless you win,,,)**

## NO FETCHES

## NO SHUFFLES

It's an interesting exercise and I highly recommend trying it! Applying DanDan design logic (manipulation of the now public zones to control tempo) to four player is already interesting, it has that cube like "bespoke player designed card list" appeal (IMO)

Oh cool! I made Jeskaibowl about 2 years ago, and I know @thebloodricguy.bsky.social made Killer Queen even further back than that, but I'm always excited to see more takes on this, especially when they are in completely different themes/colour IDs

"NarNar is an unholy union"

Yeah like @thebenwa.bsky.social said you can be a real sicko and make a commander Dandan where everyone plays the same commander

Sensei's Divining Top

Artifact

{1}: Look at the top three cards of your library, then put them back in any order.

{T}: Draw a card, then put this artifact on top of its owner’s library.

Or, if you're SICK NASTY WITH IT like @thebloodricguy.bsky.social and myself, you can glue DanDan and Commander together

An edit of the "Kramer, what's going on in there?" meme.
Jerry and Kramer stand on either side of a doorway, the room bathed in red light as Jerry asks what's going on.
The second panel has images from magic the gathering, depicting the events of a game

There's a Toxrill, the Corrosive surrounded by Bitterblossom faeries; Shelob, Child of Ungoliant wearing a singular Swiftfoot Boot, and Celestine and Suture Priest.

In the third panel, Jerry looks back at Kramer, who has been replaced with the art for Sab-Sunen, Luxa Embodied. She answers, "I'm dueling in mid-range hell, Jerry."

I feel confident, at least in Zur's case, there is absolutely zero fucking actually

I feel like there is a secret third, terrible option

Zur the Enchanter {1}{W}{U}{B}

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard

Flying

Whenever Zur attacks, you may search your library for an enchantment card with mana value 3 or less, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

Zur remained aloof from Terisiare’s suffering, intent only on his own perfection.

Justin Trudeau *would* use the rising North American trade tension to sleep with Katy Perry, and I hope they have a lovely couple's racist caricature planned for Halloween
