Can you start with more than 20 life in MTG?
Actually, according to official rules, it's a firm no for the standard game. You're at 20 life and not a hit point more, unless you're diving into formats with their own set of rules. Commander is where you get to start with 40 life, making for a longer, more epic game.

Nope, the standard starting life total in Magic The Gathering is 20 for most formats. However, in some specific ones like Commander (also known as EDH), you kick things off with a heftier 40 life. Just remember, the main rulebook sticks to 20!
Gonna throw a curveball here: technically, every player starts with 20 life, but if you're feeling spicy and your playgroup agrees, who's stopping you from starting with more? Just know, it's not official rules, but hey, games are about fun, right?
