One of the most popular formats of Magic is the Commander format which is technically a casual sanctioned format. Some of these formats utilize rules or sets of cards that differ from those used in sanctioned tournament play. Players have also invented many alternative formats for playing the game, some of which have been embraced by Wizards of the Coast. Officially sanctioned events can also add additional rules such as disallowing proxy cards. The term "sanctioned" refers to formats that the Wizards Play Network allows to be run at official events.
