Currently there's no multiplayer format that allows players to cast
spells from the command zone and also allows any deck size.
This is a problem for players who want to test EDH Cube decks. These
decks:
- can have any size - often between 40 and 100 - with no standard
- can have cards outside the commander's color identity
- may break the singleton rule
Create a game and deck type to accommodate these types of decks.
Notable differences from Freeform Commander in addition to the above:
- Decks can have any number of cards in the maindeck or sideboard
- Sideboard cards can be any type
- There are no illegal expansions
- Games can have a minimum 2 players
* improved /fix command to support disconnected/freezed players;
* added chat messages about connection problem with opponents (checks players status every minute);
* reduced timeout before remove disconnected player from waiting game dialog (from 4 to 2 minutes);
* reduced timeout between client's pings (from 60 secs to 20 secs);
