    Yeah, it feels like Richard didn't really play to theme. Everyone else is playing a deck that's reliant on something... bad, to do pretty much anything, and Richard's just playing generic broken cards around a commander that draws cards. I dunno, I guess for me at least, this game wasn't even particularly entertaining to watch? Like Richard just took over the game on turn 4 or so, and nobody else ever really got to do... anything.

    Yeah, Richard is something we like to call a hypocrite. He complains that cards are too strong and swears up and down that he wouldn't play them because he doesn't like them, just to end up playing all of them. I don't care if someone plays powerful cards, within reason, but taking some sort of moral high ground against them just to turn around and play them is just absurd

    Richard is hardcore abusing lands this season due to the social ban on LD. He always has glacial chasm, maze of ith, field of the dead, vesuva and thespian stage and we see him play those every game. I think they should start playing nonbasic hate like Ruination or Back to Basics, the usual argument of "people don't get to play EDH often, so you shouldn't mess with their resources" really doesn't apply to people that play hundreds of games like the goldfish crew and it would lead to other deckbuilding choices, when they have to run more basics

    A simple Ghost Quarter also goes a long way, and isn't nearly as toxic as Ruination. There's more Ghost Quarter-likes than Fields of the Dead. Not sure why people always immediately go nuclear with nonsense like Back to Basics (which Green/White doesn't exactly have a hard time answering anyways).

    While I know there's limitations because of them not playing in person, but I really do think some of the issues others are seeing (like the nuisance that is FotD, which really should be banned from the format in general because of it being pretty much a card that can be shoved into 90% of commander decks, regardless of whether it fits the theme) could be avoided at least on occasion by something I love when TCC does, which is everyone building decks for everyone else. I find it as a reliable way to force people to play something different from what they're used to playing and not just fall back on the same cards in every deck or the same colors in each one (like the Prof making Crim a green storm deck).

    as someone who also plays Sgt. John Benson, my brew of it is different. instead of aura and equip, i use instant speed bump spells. makes it more nerve-racking for other players since they don't know how much he'll hit for. however i also don't have a field of the dead so i at least people can't get mad at me for that aspect

    @@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 It answers the fun in the room. The real problem is that people complain about land destruction, but are happy to run overpowered lands. If I had a playgroup that played Field of the Dead, I would destroy all the lands so nobody was having fun, until the player stopped playing Field of the Dead. It isn't a gameplay solution, it is a social one. Playing lands like Field of the Dead is taking advantage of the social contract of casual commander, therefore people who do that are on the verge of cheating.

    This is absolutely out of context, but you four and Tomer know so much about magic that I think you could make a cool video series where one of you makes a quizz about magic (like name a card and can that person say what color it is, what it does etc. Or maybe trivia stuff about a certain set etc) and the others have to answer individually. I'm mostly stealing this format from TSN Bardown quizz, but I still think it would be a really good idea.

    Asking again for a season where each card can only be used once each season! (Aside from basic lands) I think it would make for way more dynamic decks and less need to ban things because it would only ever be present once, so if someone *really* wanted a Sol Ring or Field of the Dead they would have to debate if the deck they're playing is worth it to never use those cards again for the rest of the season.

    Interesting idea, though, depending on the length of the season, I think mana fixing lands might also need to be allowed to repeat: Blood Crypt, Dragonskull Summit, Graven Cairns, etc. Basically, I would revise to no repeats except lands whose only abilities are to produce mana and abilities that govern if the land enters tapped or untapped. Urborg, fetches, man-lands, basically all utility lands, surveil lands, scry lands, and more would be restricted to one deck.

    Richard's deck was fine until he started cracking the staples. That commander reminds me (in terms of deckbuilding) like Feather, in which it's cool when it's running the Thing It Does (cast cheap spells to protect and pump it and get value into a commander damage win), but stacking on the staple power cards felt....excessive? Field of the Dead turns into a clown fiesta once cloning lands and turboramp become available. That said, a lot of running away with the game came from poor threat assessment. "Oh, the rakdos deck is scary it could make me sacrifice things" meanwhile Richard voltrons up and hits you and makes you die. Phil killed the only way he could be kept in the game, and Seth's main advantage engine, for no real advantage against the player who RAPIDLY took over the game once the Seth and Phil's established boards got nuked.
