@SamuelHBlack Think you might have misread this one. It's way better in Commander than 1v1

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@SamuelHBlack It seems to me like cEDH just needs its own ban list, separate from casual commander. It's just a fundamentally different game with different needs

@samreich Not sure if this fits well, but I always thought the show Man Seeking Woman was underappreciated and underexposed. Very funny show that not enough people watched.

@JFreshHockey Curling deserves a higher rating for sure

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@SaffronOlive It keeps getting better and better as it goes on, it's worth sticking with

@arielhelwani I hope they bring the true version of Roundball Rock back: https://t.co/r5lPxsCXzi

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@SaffronOlive I wish I could buy a bunch of these versions in paper...

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@SaffronOlive My "Obeka, Splitter of Seconds" deck is quite sad that all these new cards keep getting printed where they trigger at end of turn instead of upkeep.

@AdamWylde I just got that email too and my first thought was "time to cancel my subscription"

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@wachelreeks My real answer is at first I was playing less to fit my decks in bracket 3, but after they added a bunch more cards to the list it bumped a bunch of my decks to bracket 4 anyways, so I gave up and now I'm not trying to cut them anymore

@mtgaaron Cube draft, normal draft, judge tower

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@SaffronOlive Yea definitely. I had made an effort to trim some game changers here and there to get a bunch of my decks into bracket 3, but expanding the game changers list bumped most of them back into bracket 4 again. At this point I'm going to ignore the list and leave most decks as 4s

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@GoneAndForgone @SaffronOlive cEDH (bracket 5) is all about trying to win the game as fast as possible (usually combo wins), and ways to stop other people from combo winning. Bracket 4 is no limitations but people aren't so hyper focused on winning as the #1 goal

@SaffronOlive Ink Treader Nephilim

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@wachelreeks I was expecting to see Mana Drain on there

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@Jonnymagic00 @bmkibler Is it because of good storm cards being removed? Or other cards/strategies getting too strong?

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@SaffronOlive Brother laser printers work great

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@Top8Games I have a Commander Cube and it's my favorite way to play. All the fun of Commander without balance issues.

[Paul MacKinnon @P_MacKinnon]

@SaffronOlive I think the correct answer is to be mad at both things. Shouldn't have been made, but given that they were, shouldn't have been banned at this point in time.
