Is Commander a good format?
Was. Then the sweaty tryhards everyone was avoiding showed up.
>>730718867In Arena? I don't even know, you need a way to obtain a Brawl deck, which is either paying a fortune in boosters or paying a fortune in draft tokens. I can't play Brawl.IRL, I don't know because my friends play illegal standard instead of the latest WotC psy-op to make people buy cards.
>>730718867it's good as long as you play it the way it was intended: as a goofy break from sweaty 1v1
>>730719316>>730719027>in college in 2012-13>see some guys playing MTG>watch for a bit since I've not gotten to play in years (highschool had ygo kids but not magic kids)>they'd play for like 3 turns "I hit my infinite combo" "gg, go again">and they'd go back and forth like this>decide to stick with ygo
>>730719609>same time period>hadn't played mtg in years and some friends were newly getting into it>one of them just netdecks>"makes" new deck(paid like 400 bucks for it) that is just giga cancer revolving around him constantly making you discard from the deck and shuffle and him searching his deck and shuffling>he won't use anything else because it's so strong>surpisepikachuface.jpg that no one wants to play with him
>>730718867no
>>730719609I haven’t played Magic in like 10 years but table Magic has basically nothing to do with how the game’s designed, people use cards that were never intended to be used together
>>730719854>>730719609this is why drafting is superior
>>730720340Sure, the problem is that the only people around me at the time that played MTG were playing Commander and playing it like that. Rather put me off of Commander as a format.
>>730720435Yeah Magic is dead because of casual elitism there isn’t really anything you can do
>>730720349Wouldn't have worked with my friends probably. One guy who looked and acted liked a jew but wasn't only wanted to play pauper lol, mr cancer deck wouldn't touch that shit, and the two collectfags would rather just buy the box for themselves. The couple others weren't invested enough to buy more than a started and a pack or two the one time.
Yeah. At least, it's a lot better than Standard (at literally all times) or Modern. The point is the varied games that you get and how quirky people's decks end up being. There's just a ton of variety so it doesn't get old nearly as fast. That said, if anyone is playing a meta commander they're retarded. Optimizing the fun out of your games in order to get wins that don't matter is the stupidest shit.Applies to Singleton in general though. Doesn't have to specifically be a commander format, that's just more popular because fewer games are draw-pass.Best format is cube draft though with a decent cube and group.

edh and edh pandering killed the game harder than ub ever did
>>730720506I just want to go back to 2004-2007. Just like video games. And anime. And almost everything else.
>>730721313It'll be over soon.It'll all be over soon.We can close our eyes and drift away.
