I apologize if this post violates a rule in the Forum.
I was trying to teach my wife and learn MTG at the same time when we came up with a variant Rule for the game and I decided I'd share it here for others to try.
Rule: Double Mana
You must pay to use your spells, after you pay to enter them into the Battlefield.
We did not realize that this WASN'T an official rule until after the inital game. Double Mana made the game alot more challenging, and longer than it needed to be. I think even without the time to learn the basic fundamentals of the game it took over an hour to finish the game.
