Re: "From outside the game" -- But not a 'Wish'
I don't particularly get it, but I guess when you're in charge of the format, you can make special exceptions. As for the eight companions themselves, they're fine. Even Jegantha (which makes 5cgoodstuff.general absurd and breaks Najeela even more than she was) has that corner case of "can be b...

Re: Your favourite "big dumb fatties" generals
My friend runs Dragonlord Dromoka for extra protection.
I haven't figured out what I would do for my deck. Maybe Braids, Conjurer Adept? She seems really fun

Re: [Poll] Which cards do you think should be unbanned?
Voted for Panoptic Mirror and Rofellos. I can understand the problems with Panoptic Mirror (I'm more concerned about how it can shut down creature decks), but good removal exists for a reason. You can tutor a Shatter effect in your upkeep. Rofellos is a card I'm personally more passionate about remo...

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread
Wants: Flash banned for reasons we've already discussed, Rofellos unbanned because the power level of legends has risen to accommodate it.
Prediction: No changes and a hell of a lot of chaos and anger.

Re: What is going in your decks from C20 and Ikoria?
Netherborn Altar , Serrated Scorpion , The Ozolith , Deadly Rollick - Shirei. I have a small -1/-1 counter subtheme in my Shirei deck. Ozolith becomes "at the beginning of combat, target creature gets -X/-X", Netherborn Altar helps with commander tax, and Scorpion is just a good value car...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Out of all the cards to get a better version of in Commander, I did not expect %$#% Force of Negation to be one of them.

Re: Lutri, the Spellchaser Preemptively Banned
Commander players, even though you don't have sideboards, you can still get in on the fun. Each Commander deck may include a chosen companion. It starts outside the game and doesn't count as one of your 100 cards. Just like the rest of your deck, your commander must follow the deck-building rule if...

Re: Lutri, the Spellchaser Preemptively Banned
Seems fine, tbh. From the view, it seems like it's more of an issue of "This interacts poorly with the format" than "This is too powerful". It's a worse Dualcaster Mage. I think it's very strange that any of the Companion cards even work, tbh. From my interpretation of the rules,...

Re: Proxies in Commander
House rules at my LGS (non-WPN) are cards you own but are in another deck, are on order, and ABUR duals. Very limited exceptions for cards you plan on buying. Personally, I don't care about proxying expensive cards as long as they're within reason. I want to build Mishra, Artificer Prodigy to go wit...

Re: Talkin about rule 0
We don't really talk much about Rule 0. Most of my playgroup is very conservative, and most Rule 0 stuff that's been proposed have been to police combos, hate out pet cards, or, in the case of one person, gain a competitive advantage in the group. In 99% of cases, we trust the RC's judgment with reg...

Re: [MCD] Cards that would not see much play in present-day EDH
From my playgroup (when it was about 15 players), there was a fair amount of Iona play. We had 5 Iona players, including myself. As someone who has been on the receiving end of an Iona in a mono-colored deck, I don't miss her that much. I need more info about this :P You had 5 different *iona decks...

Re: [MCD] Cards that would not see much play in present-day EDH
Rule 0 had handled Iona easily in every community I've ever been and I have heard from basically no one who said anything to the contrary. I think there was a fair bit more Iona play than you believe. One of the reasons that we took so long to ban it was that we really hoped that social pressure wo...

Re: March 2020 AMA
Can confirm, have about 20 solid EDH players in my LGS community. Only 3 of us upload our lists to EDHRec/satellite sites, and I upload for one of them because he doesn't feel like making an Archidekt account. Another player used to upload to TappedOut, but quit the game itself because of personal i...

Re: Why is everyone in cEDH keep calling about 'ban' Flash thing?
I feel like you're misunderstanding my point. Obviously, I'm not goinna say these cards are more powerful than Flash or would see play at the average table. Maybe I'm underestimating how much the silent majority in the EDH community plays Flash fairly, but from my view, it's most commonly played to...

Re: Why is everyone in cEDH keep calling about 'ban' Flash thing?
[ Not a single card you mentioned is relevant. Alt wincons aren't the problem, and many alt wincons existed and we're not banned when edh started. The problem with Worldfire type cards is that they have a negatively disruptive impact on the game with no additional setup. That they win out of nowher...

Re: Why is everyone in cEDH keep calling about 'ban' Flash thing?
There's a distinction to be made between one piece of a high powered 7 card combo package and a selection of goofy cards that do goofy stuff and probably would not be banned today, remaining on the banlist largely because of inertia. (Nothing good is going to happen from unbanning them but if they ...

Re: Why is everyone in cEDH keep calling about 'ban' Flash thing?
The long arguments have already been said, but tl;dr: It's to cEDH what Biorhythm, Sway, Worldfire, and Coalition Victory are to the casual side of the format. That's a poor example. It's more like what prophet of kruphix or sylvan primordial were. The cards you listed are pure jank and would see n...
