@ScrybabiesMTG For commander, mana base always

@thejesguy Hellrider, Adeline and Adversary look juicy, but for me it's Adeline that wins out as I'm just a Brimaz fan.

@ecobaronen Probably the Cat, seems solid all around and with the other cards i'm seeing in this pack I like it even more, if anything comes around that is

@DwarvenDM work together towards a greater goal, and if everyone is good, the banding together and intergroup roleplaying that provides never happens without split heroic ideals.

I'm a sucker for a good moral quandry though, especially within a group, as long as everyone is having fun.

[Emelie Van Rodin @EmTheVan]

@DwarvenDM I play mostly Unheroics, even evil characters at times - For me it's the drama within the group that is interesting, moral and ethics clashing, as well as being the "Get shit done" mindset.

I also enjoy groups of smol people, banding together in lieu of their differences to...

@HowlingSaltMine Can also lock out the game fairly decently with locks like Chains + anvil of bogardan, forcing players to lose off their current hand, while giving you time to set-up a tutor into big mana into phage, or just tutor into blood celebrant for the win

[Emelie Van Rodin @EmTheVan]

@HowlingSaltMine Blood Celebrant and Hex Parasite on turn 1 are great, and fetchable through different means, and forces a turn 1 answer from opponents.

big mana for inevitability and you get immortal coil + fast mana as well.

@roguecaliber Per player per session that sounds high, When I was DM:ing four groups of six I charged a bit, but mostly to cover food, snacks and drinks for the sessions as I ran about 4 sessions a week, and it was more like a tip jar thing (Players tipped at the end of a session.)

[Emelie Van Rodin @EmTheVan]

@DynamoNestico probably about 10% or so - mostly because missing out of things due to having to go to tournaments as well as always being in a precarious economic situation.

Glad I don't play much anymore, and haven't spent money on mtg in the last 5 years

@filthymtgcasual my first built commander deck was wydwen the biting gale control back in 2010, started playing in 2012 though

[Emelie Van Rodin @EmTheVan]

@JosephineABaird Yes! And I hope your GDC is marvelous! We should catch up sometime for Coffee or something when you are back! :)

[Emelie Van Rodin @EmTheVan]

@CommanderReplay We used to play it with 60 card decks so much back in the days, some crazy synergy plays and very OG kitchen table vibes.

@OmegaShinku @PleasantKenobi @blackmore17x I Only have anecdotal experience so I yield pretty fast to everyone in this, might also be my region (Scandinavia) that makes this trueish
