Magic: the Gathering Lipogrammatic Commander Resource
What's a Lipogram?
Wikipedia describes a lipogram as:
A lipogram (from Ancient Greek: λειπογράμματος, leipográmmatos, "leaving out a letter")
is a kind of constrained writing or word game consisting of writing paragraphs or longer works
in which a particular letter or group of letters is avoided. Extended Ancient Greek texts avoiding
the letter sigma are the earliest examples of lipograms.
Introduction
Ever wanted to build a deck without using a certain letter? This page may help!
Unfortunately, the scryfall feeds just give me the oracle text for a card not the text on the actual printed card;
so use this page as a springboard for your investigations.
