The fact Mike Went and got 7+ lands out his deck and couldn't do anything with it makes me sad, usually you rip that many of of sword all you need is an outlet for mana but he must have been stuck, which unfortunately is how magic goes sometimes

It never feels good to always have your commander removed anytime you try and play them. Its for that reason is why I try not to build decks that revolve too much on the commander hitting the field and sticking around.
@DarkEinherjar2 жыл бұрын
Same here. My policy is "the commander complements the deck, not the other way around." Either the commander has a support role (card drawing, ramping, graveyard recursion, etc.) or is a replaceable combo piece.
@Devilish4202 жыл бұрын
@@DarkEinherjar yup, that's the best way to do it. I love commanders like Edgar Markov and Oloro cause you never need to cast them for the support. I'm actually constructing a Oloro Stax deck that drains life from stax effects. I'm really excited to see it finished.

@@DarkEinherjar absolutely. Always ask yourself "does my deck work if my commander isn't on the board" Obviously some strats (like Voltron) your commander is the important piece. But that's it.

Partner really hurt Commander i Think
@TheBalogna72 жыл бұрын
Yes and no. I think partner as an idea is awesome and adds avenues for more interesting builds and shenanigans to be had. I think the issue with partner though was that some of them were either too powerful (i.e. Thrasios or Tymna) or introduced ways that harmfully circumvent barriers within the commander format (i.e. Sakashima).
@CupOYerba2 жыл бұрын
I think being able to partner with any other partner is the problem. Partner WITH commanders are great ways to spice up your deck building, and don't seem unbalanced because they're built specifically to be played with each other.
@TheBalogna72 жыл бұрын
@@CupOYerba I guess I don't really see much of a difference. Most of the flexible partners are already balanced or are downright under powered. To me they are all a brewers dream that allow me to craft the exact commander pair that will enable the strategy I want to build. I think early in their existence they were a bit more problematic due to their ability to allow easy access a lot of colors and multiple abilities out of the command zone, but with the state of the format today where multi-color commanders that do 5 different things are everywhere, partners are balanced (barring a small group of outliers).
