Hi Matt! Thanks for the confirmation! I got asked the question and as a former judge I wanted to be 100% sure to give the correct answer 😄
Also I wasn't expecting a quick response, I live on the other side of the Atlantic 👍😁
Have a great day! 👻

I get the balancing, but I think it would not be the way to go.
I really don't want the hybrid rule to change, but probably the impact would not be very big.

Funny, but now you are just making it less fun to play Commander 😄
I thought I liked the 'no mana outside CI" when it was there, but it was way more fun without!

You can share your deck on @moxfield.com or @archidekt.com, very cool websites to make and share decklists!
Completely optional of course, I just wanted to fuel your enthusiasm 😁

Sounds absolutely awesome! Welcome back 😄
I of course don't know what else you play, but here are some cool cards to consider, together less than $10!
If you are interested, I am more than happy to (and probably more people here) give some cool tips on any budget!

Hi! I usually see not a lot of response to many of your rules posts, but I wanted to say that I really enjoy and appreciate them. Thanks!

It is really a lot of fun! I run a lot of "bad" 4 mana rocks and it works! 😄

Making a pinger deck with Fifth and Yasmin, and a 4+ mana spellslinger deck with The Emperor.
Contemplating on Otharri, not focussing too much on extra combats, but still make it fun :)

Yeah, probably :)
I think the Falls deserves a bit more than an honorable mention, and I think the Autocrat is ok: 4 mana for 4 bodies!
Didgeridoo for changelings (ok, and Minotaurs 😄), and my honorable mention is for one of the VERY few cards that remove poison (yet still utterly unplayable 😅).

Is it really "failing" if they deplete all major IPs? They can just...stop. And make one if a new IP or a movie or whatever comes out.
Also, since they are willing to go deep already. I mean, an Iron Maiden SL?(100% cause there is a card with that name :D), I think there is plenty to print still :)

Oh I agree. It was just that I played my brand new Fifth Doctor / Yasmin Khan deck full of pingers 😅. It really was no match 😁

Ah yeah, problem with high power is that you have to stay up to date to at the very least know the latest tech (say, Vivi), or pick it up yourself.
My group plays at bracket 2 to 3 somewhere. Just a casual monthly evening with some 0% beers :P (we are all 40+ :D)

I get this. I like Commander as it is now, or was the last year. My group just looks less at new cards and we just keep playing and ignore the deluge of new cards. Maybe picks some stuff up, but maybe also next year. Just relax and enjoy what is already there. Hope it works😄
