Looking at some of the cards, I worry my brain won’t be able to process the rules easily :stalin-stressed:

oh they made the game good again? i quit when they spent several consecutive years making threats better than answers

Decks that run a lot of board control can be overwhelming and obnoxious if that’s not the kind of experience you enjoy or are looking for. IMO magic is best played with a group of people who have a mutual understanding of the collective game experience the group wants to have. At the same time, counters and interaction are an intimate part of the game (especially for blue and white) so it can be a tough balance to strike.

If my incredibly intricate and stupid combo works even once out of a hundred games, I consider it a success.

:downbear: Commander is the superior format and I’ll fight anyone on this

My friend likes commander tho and I have a deck right here, though. Any reason why?
