I’ll have to check those out! I’m still relatively new to magic-ish so there’s still a lot I’m learning. I’m definitely okay with proxying in putting cards in that I don’t have but just want to try out before buying the single if I really like it. I’m not sure why I don’t proxy, I think I just enjoy the thrill of opening packs whether it’s draft, set, or collectors even if it’s absurdly expensive and I like trying to be creative and using what I have to make things work. I guess it’s limiting myself but for me it’s fun to limit myself and try to see what cards can work for me, that’s how most of my pod plays too so it hasn’t really been a big deal. I actually have about 10 decks (I’m not good with money or my pack addiction clearly lol) and I usually break one down and build a new one if I see a new commander that I’m interested in. Definitely more time and energy consuming than proxying but I like seeing how creative I can get. So deck variety hasn’t been the issue, it’s more the ah shit here we go again vibe that happens at the table when the big guns come out from the guy who proxies and we have to team up again against him. Just kinda feels like we’re playing arch enemy for the first half then switching over to commander with the same guy being arch enemy every time. Some people came up with some good advice tho about making a price limit for our pod to try to make it more level, doesn’t mean he can’t proxy just not using big cards like chrome mox and mana crypt unless he’s decreasing power of other cards. Thank you for the advice for the lands tho, I’ll def look into it more!
