    How to play commander: Do whatever you want as long as it's within the rules, the banlist, and in good sportsmanship. Just in case people don't know what good sportsmanship is: - Not being a sore loser - Not being a sore winner - Not shunning players - Not mocking players for what they play - Not making a pariah of those players because of how they choose to spend their disposable income - Not being a toxic player - Not riding a highhorse as if your way to play Commander is the only true and pure way to play Commander.

    Preach. The spirit of the format is doing what you (and most of the time your playgroup also) find fun. Not what other people tell you is and isn't fun. Some people ride a high horse so high on their own ego that they push their philosophies on the masses. Do you find it fun? Are the people you're playing with find it fun also? Awesome.

    @@recaydiuscystefar2683 I just feel like players unconsciously forget that the second half of the name of this game is "the Gathering". We should be building more bridges than schisms. Instead of finger-pointing and blame-shifting and forcing mentalities on people, we should be ironing out the creases and improve the dynamics between players. Just because someone isn't playing commander like you do doesn't mean those players should be ostracized. Mitch is being incredibly tongue-in-cheek but he isn't addressing the main issue with his satire (that at times seems more like sincerity than mockery). A lot of people have the mentality he seems to be ridiculing. If he's trying to change that attitude in people, it should be done more openly and sincerely, since a lot of players will simply assume that their segregational mentality is supported and propagated by the "casual/budget king". That "them vs us" attitude creates more problems and solves nothing. Because the spirit of the format is fraternity, not budget.

    To be fair, I think Iona's banned because if you're playing against someone with a mono-colored deck, you can stop them from playing the game entirely with one card.

    Not gonna lie, I really enjoyed this one! To people who know the format, it's pretty funny. It does help answer some questions that might come up from new players (no seriously, wish cards don't work - here, I have a video from a community-trusted source detailing it). Keep up the good work, and good luck Jeff!

    I found this quite useful to look into. I’m planning to play some Commander at some point, as I currently have 3 decks built. One is Rakdos, which deals with discarding and heavy assault and burn. The second is RGB, which is very land based but also about building up my creatures to be extremely powerful for a good swing. The third, which is the newest deck I built just tonight, is RWUG, with Omnath, Locus of Creation as my commander, using the landfall mechanics to the max for HEAVY ramp, some control and field wipe power, and a major use of just constant landfall effects so I can wipe everything away (except lands, of course). I think it’s nice and I’m excited to try the decks out. Also got the Otrimi Mutate deck that Wizards released and it’s just a playful one I can’t wait to REALLY start mutating with.

    True, but from my experience with planeswalkers as commanders, the most frustrating part is that some decks just aren’t equipped to deal with that. People bring in targeted removal for creatures pretty much universally for creatures, because with 3 opponents with commanders there’s almost always a target. Obviously if that’s part of your meta you should play around the fact your opponent has a planeswalkers that demands attention, and I really overall don’t mind the printed legal planeswalker commander and think they should stay as-is, but it’s just something on my mind.

    Jokes on you, some weirdo who just builds budget decks and makes weird episodes made a deck revolving around Phenax for around $25. This price is excluding the cost of the commander, basic lands, Wayfarer's Bauble and is also using the TCGPlayer optimizer including heavily played and damaged cards, because those cards need a home too.
