My favorite game is most often ruined by one card. That card is called Rhystic Study. So here are ≤500 words urging Gavin and the Commander Format Panel to ban it ASAP:

A Very Brief Appeal to Ban Rhystic Study in 2026 — Ken Baumann
Commander is best when: 1) Games have surprising moments. 2) Games feature diverse decks. 3) Winners are not known in advance. Commander's designers wanted to achieve the first and second goals abov...

Recently had a blast playing #edh against a superfriends deck. 3v1 trying to work together to bypass their defenses and stem the tide of loyalty counters before they reached any emblems. Very tempted to try and build my own now. Does anyone have any recommendations for unique commanders?

Pack a set of Archenemy Scheme decks for each, and finally play Supervillain Rumble as it was meant to be.

#edh is there any chance anyone's maintaining a list of these Amazon spambot accounts that keep cropping up, that I can just subscribe to and block en masse? I love y'all but this tag is getting near unusable.

I can't speak for pocket but the main game is so good. They usually handle mistakes with hard counters. Like if card X is too strong then next set they print a super easy one card include with the ability "if your opponent has X KO it" or something lol. This is my favourite blatant example

Learning the skill of “If it sucks, hit the bricks” with random EDH tables was so important. Vibes were all off at my first table so I scooped after a reset board wipe from a Planechase card trigger

Second table was a vibe though and I had a great time playing even being down on mana most game

"Play with a Rube Goldberg machine and try and mad scientist your way to a win" is my favourite style of combo win. A+B+C=Game Over is... eh, *fine*, but it's *so* much more interesting to try and juggle various tools and resources until you can find the line that turns a loop net positive.
I have one dedicated lands combo deck for high B3 and one artifact deck that has a combo finish also for fairly high B3. Both have some tutors but none that can find any piece unconditionally. Sometimes you want to play with a Rube Goldberg machine and try and mad scientist your way to a win.

the year is 2030. you sit down for a game of edh. your commander, john wick, gives you four veto points. you spend all four to force the vriska player to replace gumby's ire with a card from her contingencyboard. in retaliation, she hits you with the turn one shaqstorm. it's going to be a long night

I don't care about your star sign, show me your favourite CMC 2 or less commander!

Having a dork in the command zone lets you skimp out on a lot of cheap ramp "vegetables" EDH decks like, making more space for your game plan. And lots of ways to build, based on the partner you pair her with!

I've been thinking about a cascade deck where almost every card cascades into more cascades,"laddering" down in mana value until they eventually land on Serene Remembrance, which then reloads itself and some others back into the deck to be cascaded into again.
I just don't know how to make it win.

Flexible combo piece; group hug that can exclude whoever the biggest threat is; mana dork in the command zone who helps ramp up to her partner; and a Heroes of the Realm card (Rule Zeroed in) that turns every card into a chaos play.

I want to build a Series of Unfortunate Events deck commander deck around Morska. Because They're VFD.

One of the weirdest interactions I've gotten while playing edh happened the other day when I played an aggro deck at my lgs that I've only really played with my playgroup before. I was doing the aggro thing of hitting people before they were able to establish a big value engine and eventually (1/?)
