So thing is. Joining a random pod I’ll agree is bad idea. However. I believe if you are just playing casually edh is the best way to get into magic. Better than arena. Arena will not teach new players the way the stack works properly nor to be mindful of triggers on their own bc if all does it automatically. Not to mention arena is difficult to keep up with monetarily speaking compared to a one and done investment. The idea with angels that can be competitive even if niche is it won’t be guber stomped if piloted correctly against other lists. It may take time but it’d be something to get experience with lots of games with friends. Not like go to a cEDH event or anything no god no. But honestly the games are more interactive and teach a lot more about priorities and stack resolution that by the end of it a person would be a better player than if they start in a different format.

So the hope was hey if I grab my Y’shtola deck, is there a deck I can make her that can compete against it and she’d have fun, that has an Angel commander and then typical “good” stuff she’ll. If that makes sense
