Commander Contradictions (Patreon)

Ultimately, I think all these problems stem from Commander's growing popularity, It naturally leads to WotC printing more powerful cards to capitalize on it and more games with strangers as it becomes the standard way to play at LGSs. Hopefully I summarized this okay in the comic because this was a hard one to write!

This is one of the major reasons I don't play commander. I can understand playing to win, but I can't understand not optimizing a deck to win because everybody else gets mad at you for playing a deck designed to win.

Magic players do love to complain. 😂

Yeah, in many ways I feel that so-called cEDH is more straightforward because you know from the outset that everyone is on the same page.

One solution I've found for myself is to set limits on my deckbuilding so I don't just build the most powerful deck. My favorite current limitation is to only use old border cards.

Not gonna lie, I lost interest in commander since Wotc started pushing commander more. It lost that casual feel for me. Now it's more like any other constructed deck where you get new powerful cards throughout the year. On the positive side though, it does make for a good comic :')
