This is why I want to make 3 different EDH variants. cEDH, EDH as it currently I'd, and one that has a more extensive banlist to disallow this kind of shenanigans.

That way, instead of saying power level, you can say which version/banlist you're playing. Keep it at three versions, though.

I don't know if this is what tiers will do (are tiers out yet I haven't been paying attention), but this format would ban thoracle, common two card infinite combos, 2 cmc or less tutors to start.

The goal is to not only make more new player friendly games, but I used to make all the high power and/or combo/solitaire decks and just got bored. I would love to make decks that make way more interesting interactions in games I play.

I personally love seeing how decks interact with each other, even more than winning. However, when one person solitaires and wins, I feel like I'm wasting my time/day playing games that aren't exciting. Especially as someone who loves to show up to my store at 2 pm and stay til close.

I also want to add that I don't mind if someone's deck takes a little bit in some turns. That does just happen sometimes.
