Delenda Hybrid Est, innit.
I'm not gonna fight about hybrid mana because if you want it to be permissive, we just fundamentally disagree about why color identity is a rule in the first place.

MERCH UPDATE, GAMERS!

1) You can now buy our merch on @starcitygames.bsky.social!

It's now much easier to get our merch if you're in the USA! Shipping costs are much lower buying here, and you can tack it onto a card order you were already going to make!

I have 100% solid information that Wizards is gonna do an unban. How do I know this? Simple, I ignore anything that would suggest otherwise, especially commonly accessible facts on production timelines, and yell a lot about how I alone understand The Implications. Ironclad style of thinking.

I think commander gets easier as you lean into consistency rather than leaning into speed, answers, and power. Having layers of guarantee means I'm always doing what I set out to do. Having an uncompromising game plan is worth more than any silver bullets I might load up.

To go ever so slightly deeper on this, formats are comprised essentially of their restrictions and gimmicks. Commander's Gimmick sets one of its restrictions.

I don't have the patience to argue around the idea of open hybrid as a vibe. I might talk with proponents trying to refine an actual rule.
I'm not gonna fight about hybrid mana because if you want it to be permissive, we just fundamentally disagree about why color identity is a rule in the first place.

Hey. Just wanted to remind y'all that this is coming. Look. Look! I convinced Wizards of the Coast to let me write a print MAGIC THE GATHERING novel!

People wanting changes and people not understanding even the basic issues with that change is such an evergreen issue in Magic discourse.
It's a big "this works mentally and philosophically, but the rules and card data don't currently support it easily" kind of thing. From a databasing standpoint, we'll have to treat the color IDs of hybrid cards as modal or something? It's messy as fuck.
