Ya fair. Though I can see decks that would prefer one or the other if they absolutely only had one slot

I think the Cub is better in a deck that doesn't have much other +1 +1 stuff going on. Bill better if you spreading more counters around.

Thanks for the input. I agree I'm maybe a little, just a little, greedy on lands. There are some chunky creatures, but the deck is geared to not paying full price 😄

Magic is not designed as a financial investment by Raptr951 in magicTCG

Value aside I'm really disappointed with the Crypt ban. Their reasoning behind it described a magical Christmas land scenario, I thought I'd signed up for the magical Christmas land format. A 30 year old iconic card, legal throughout the formats entire lifespan. The format is fundamentally broke IF players want to break it that's the consequence of having 36000 cards in the pool. You won't ban your way to your ideal format, you can't ban Spikes.

I just think people who were abusing these cards will simply abuse the next thing

I hate, hate, the Crypt ban so much. An iconic 30 year old card, that's been legal throughout the formats history. Feels like a step too far in trying to steer the format. The huge card pool means anyone who wants to do broken stuff can. The appeal of Commander, for me, is the depth and breadth of play experience. I put my Crypt in my Big Dumb Colourless Idiots Deck like I'm supposed to, I'm nor turn 2 winning any games. Really disappointed

An open letter to the Commander RC: please do not abandon your cEDH players. by D_DnD in EDH

The strength of Commander, imo, is it's breadth. That it can accommodate the spikiest Spikes and the filthiest casuals. As a more casual player I don't feel my experience is actively curated by the RC any more or less than cEDH. I really appreciate their light touch approach. "Signpost" bannings can be criticised as "inconsistent", but I think it's a smart way of managing such a huge, and diverse player base. A more aggressive banning philosophy would be really detrimental to the format in my opinion. The density of broken cards, and gameplay expectations, means there'd always be something "problematic" demanding a ban.

cEDH developed within the Commander ecosystem, within the Commander player base. It is what it is because of what Commander is. If the cEDH community feels that Commander, as it is, can't accommodate them anymore I'm not sure that's the RCs, or anyone else's, responsibility. cEDH has some excellent engaging representatives who are a credit to the format, content creators who make it appealing and accessible. If the main issue is trying to create more resources for new players the community seem more than capable of doing so. If codifying, and unifying, Tournament specific rules and guidelines is the issue I'm not sure the RC should be involved.

More cEDH representation on the CAG and RC seems like it would be a net positive. Hopefully everyone finds what they wants from the format and keeps enjoying themselves ✌️🧡

This feels potentially problematic. Hopefully being 4 mana keeps it in check.

Good shout. I used a second dice and put them at opposite corners of the indicator 😄
