Re: Should cEDH spin off into its own format?

It would only work if there were sanctioning, prizes, and Wizards or an adjacent committee overseeing the banned list.
As is, cEDH is fine and a pre-game talk. Just inform what your deck does and your plan and people can decide on playing with you.

Re: Is White getting better?

White is getting better but it is still far, far too reliant on opponent synergies to gain its bonuses. This isn't too bad with something like Land Tax, where you get three lands before you draw, but having to wait until end step seems really slow. Archivist is more in line with what I want: immedia...

Re: [Poll] Is your wallet fatigued in this format?

I'm going to be the odd one here that says "no", and that's because I have been drifting out of Commander, which was a huge moneysink for me. By trading my Commander staples I've been able to get a ton of fetchlands, most of a Temur Rhinos deck and, with store credit, a good chunk of UW Co...

Re: What are your aesthetic hang-ups?

Sweet thread, thanks for posting! Basic lands: From same expansion as Commander. For example, built Kambahl and the lands are from Kaladesh. Sigarda, Host of Herons had lands from her expansion. Why, because the mana comes from lands and they feel more comfortable on their own turf. Jasmine Boreal i...

Re: When a game ends up 1v1 - Gloves on or off?

Think once you are two players end it asap so we can start a new pod.
Prior, discuss power levels with your friends and go from there.

Re: Power Level Model Discussion

I read it! I like where you went on the different axes of social play, construction, intent and time-to-win. These are all fantastic. I really, really liked that you used examples of players and their decks, how they built them and where they felt they fit on interaction scales. I'd like to see this...

Re: If you could make one change in Commander...

I'd honestly go with lowering the starting life total to 30, or 25, but 25 might be way, way too low. At 30, you would be at 25-24 after a few fetches/shockland entries, which is close enough to 20 that you would actually need to play with more spot removal, Wrath effect instead of just fishing for ...

Re: Ban List Update - Flash Banned

if4ko explained (finally) why there's not a cEDH stand-alone, it's due to card cost. I will say that our Duel Commander league has allowed proxies of Reserved List cards only for events under two conditions: 1)The card must be visibly identical to the original 2)The card must be valuable enough to p...

Re: If you could make one change in Commander...

Partner no longer exists. Failing that, both Partners get commander taxed. That isn't going to happen, so I'll get loopy and suggest this: They should make cards that increase or decrease commander taxes. For example: Popeddy Popedda 3UW 2/4 Legendary Creature - Human Advisor. "While ~ is on th...

Re: Proxies in Commander

My philosophy on this hasn't really changes whether I have had a large collection or a smaller one (current). People should play with what they have, and we'll adjust our decks to that. As an example, prior to the illness, we had a person with the pre-con Ur-Dragon deck, my Jasmine Boreal jank, a Sa...

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

Rofellos should never come off. Umbral Mantle, Staff of Domination, etc. etc and in the color that will get more lands out, it's just too silly for words. As for next Monday's announcement, I'd say they go halfway and ban Protean Hulk again; that way Flash players can Flash Rector or other silliness...

Re: Lutri, the Spellchaser Preemptively Banned

I'm going to play Zirda maindeck in my Jor Kadeen Voltron. Getting that cost reduction is going to be amazing., especially if I can get Basalt Monolith out at some point.
Lurrus I am trying to build-around in Standard, with the new Benevolent Bodyguard and so on.

Re: FTV: Fetchlands (plus Chandra spellbook)

The fetches could also be in a December hype product or as a box topper of some sort for future Secret Lairs.
I'd be extremely doubtful of fetches in the CMDR product as they've never done this previously, and they are not super necessary to play CMDR unless you're cEDH.

Re: Topical Discussion of the Official Multiplayer Ban List

Bribery is fine if your meta has as bunch of jank in their decks. If everyone is running Kiki/Blightsteel etc it's more noxious, but at least it breaks their combo. Against the combined 21 from Partners, stuff like Bruse Tarl would just get crazy. If there's an internal discussion, please let it als...

Not really a fan of them or the speed of the releases, though the Thalia one was very, very tempting.
I'd rather just wait for Commander Legends or whatnot, there might be some sweet adds for my new Jor Kadeen deck.
