If I cut Green Sun’s Zenith (in the deck to find Dryad Arbor) from my best casual deck it becomes a 1. My “best” deck that I play in high power pods that storms off on turn 5-7 is a 1. Nearly all my decks are wildly mislabeled. Izzet Lifegain is a 4, Mono White Lands is a 4 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not game changers, btw.

I don’t think it’s possible to solve the culture issue in commander with an infographic. Would be nice to put better onboarding tools in the precons or something instead. The real issue here is the massive skill and knowledge gaps between players.

I'm probably having the most fun I've ever had with cEDH now, but as long as some of the best players choose to play this "make the game unbearably long, politic so hard no one remembers the deals, and angle shoot so much its a legal gray area" style the format *looks* terrible.

Why is it every time there is a holiday, cEDH Twitter crashes out over something silly? It’s becoming like 100% correlation between “days I don’t touch my phone because I’m spending time with friends and family” and “days cEDH Twitter decides to manufacture drama” 🤦🏻‍♂️
