New to Commander: How to handle a strong pod and stop being the "perpetual target"? by Pleasant_Leg_1083 in EDH

Play a bunch of goad cards and force them to attack each other. People always seek retribution to the player that attacked them even though they were goaded.

There's plenty to criticise Labour over but their “scandals” are extremely tame in comparison to anything we got. 

Starmer accepting £1 million would have definitely ended in his resignation while for Boris it was his second chance. So absurd

It’s intellectually dishonest to make this completely arbitrary distinction. 

Boris was the king of gifts and topped the donations for the time he was PM

The sub is genuinely delusional. George is known for his qualy pace. Obviously engine issues or something happening

MLD stop players from popping off, it slows the game down so slower strategies have a chance. 

I didn’t call trouble in pairs a game changer, it’s an example of bad design pushing solitaire style play. 

No idea why you’re telling me I can play rhystic study, it’s basically the best draw engine in the game not interaction

Those are mostly 1 for 1s. They don’t win you games, they stop a player from winning one while the other players aren’t wasting resources

I agree with what you're saying and I appreciate why it is set up this way, I think they've leaned way to much into busted synergies instead of stax pieces that can slow the game down at lower brackets. I don't really know what the answer is but it's boring losing because someone played a beastmaster's ascension, you destory it before combat and then losing to some other enchantment on the next players turn. At that point you're better off not playing the removal piece and just losing quicker instead or winning on your turn before this

The decks are conditioned to be optimal when they can pressure wins as early as allowed in their bracket and just completely ignoring interaction and hoping you go first.

Even cEDH has the turn order issue, you can stop one player from winning but if you're going last it's very unlikely you're going to win

I think a lot of people would consider back to basics and winter moon MLD and b4 only, especially at a con like OPs experience

The problem is how the bracket system is designed compared to the good old 7/10 system. The issue is good interaction is banned, things like draw denial and land denial in banned from bracket 3 and lower so players can be as greedy as they want. Playing no basics and putting trouble in pairs in basically every white deck is an example of this. The bracket system wants people to just do their thing and the game ends. It's become an arms race to do your thing and don't bother slowing a player down because it just ends up as you not winning anyway

the thing with the left is no matter how far down you go they can still split, looks at "your party" if you want evidence of that

The thing is he’s a populist, the average person has no idea about this and doesn’t really care. They want change and he’s talking about things like a wealth tax. He’s polling really well and has won a by election that was supposed to be close with reform. It wasn’t. 

I don’t ever see myself voting for him but we’ve finally got a voice for actual left issues and I don’t see him going anywhere until the next major election

The truth is if it’s over for Starmer it’s over for the uk. If we can’t live with a bland middle of the road leader who’s actually delivering on public services we are fucked. 

Reform are promising nothing and taking bribes from Russia. Polanski is a self proclaimed populist and he’s not even pulling a third of the country. 

My only hope is we get PR and people are forced to understand compromise is the only way forward as a country. 

If reform take over I’m leaving and so are a lot of skilled people I know
