Keep up with the conversation on Facebook & Twitter.

Community

What is your unpopular opinion regarding EDH?

(shamelessly lifted from the Reddit thread of the same name)

Adam:

• banlist should equal reserved list, or at least be more consistent

Mark:

• “Elder Dragon Highlander” was always the dumbest name imaginable and I’m glad WotC rebranded it “Commander.”
• Bounce effects are more effective than destroy effects in EDH

Strategy

25 years of M:tG strategy:

How “fast” does your mana base need to be in Commander?  (Inspired by reprints of check lands and the return of shock lands in RtR).
