Anyone else just randomly say "maaany Magic the Gathering players" to themselves while walking around their home doing chores or whatever? Just me? Ok.

I really appreciate this video. We need to normalize control in commander. The worst EDH games are the ones where everyone just plays solitaire. How boring! Some of the best moments can happen when there's a ton of interaction throughout the game. Control is really fun, effective, and challenging in commander, and does not deserve the boogeyman status that it gets in this format.

Tolarian Tutor finally returns!

[@mmmy4282]

My biggest issue with commander is that too many people let their emotions play for them. They focus out someone playing a control deck while someone else is ready to end the game next turn anyways. Actual threat assessment is something a LOT of commander players need to learn lmao. (Including me ngl)

I've played mtg for 20 years. And I've played blue. I've found out that unless you're playing competitively, blue is not fun ever. Watching your friend do cool things> stop your friends from doing anything

[@henrye3935]

I think it might have been Richard of MTGGoldfish (but I could be wrong) who once said "In Commander, politics is control." This massively changed the way I play control in Commander for the better. Controlling opponent's advantages to gain your own advantage. It's why I love commanders like Breena, or even Marisi.

For the 1 million subscribers special, can we please see all of your suits? I love your collection.

This all makes so much sense to me now.

We are not beginners any more, but we are not at the expert level. We are midrange.

Hi, Designated Control Player here- because someone has to be or the group goes full anime protagonist.

[@whirlwindsky]

Have I been playing MTG for almost a decade? yes.

[@WarmasterXVI]

Missed this series! I started out watching Tolarian Tutor back in college more than five years ago.

[@benji-obi]

I was convinced years ago that arcane denial wasn't good for commander, but hearing your example against counterspell was brilliant!

[@user-sl7je4ik1x]

As someone who built Augustine in 2011 as my first deck...

[@Triskitguru]

Larry Niven's Disk got a good laugh from me.

[@1Lord1Faith1Baptism]

Control is the best part of MTG in my humble, yet accurate, opinion, and one of the great things that makes Magic stand out from other TCGs.

[@DrSavitruc]

Hey Prof, I wanted to take a moment to tell you that your content made me jump from digital on Arena to buying my first commander deck to play with friends.
