@SaffronOlive I can't defend the flaws you mentioned, but I believe the draw of sealed is the low engagement requirement. You can just sit down, open some packs, and get to work. It's very liw stress, and as someone who become extreme casual, it's the only time I don't play Commander.
@SaffronOlive I unironically think modern Commander should have official To-The-Year accurate rules and ban lists, quirks and all. It would certainly make people less antsy about a hybrid mana change.
@Sughammer@HenrikGrtner If you're looking for an extraordinary High Grade, Moon Gundam is top notch. But my favorite Master Grade of all time is the Turn X. The Turn X specifically was designed by the legendery Syd Mead.
@Joe_Hobbies@CMValrak True, but there are failsafes in some games, like forcing a player to move more units in the initial moves to balance it out. That being said, no system will be without some flaws.
@PleasantKenobi This might be unpopular, but there should be a tier list of cards instead of a ban list. Tier 0: Current Ban list. Tier 1: All fast mana, stax, reserved list, even tutors. Tier 2: Everything else.
