If you've never tried Pauper I highly recommend trying it out. It has an incredibly diverse metagame, lots of space for brewing, and of course it's an order of magnitude cheaper than the other major formats.

I think a lot of people try to *force* inconsistency in EDH. A lot of people will argue that tutors are "against the spirit of the format" because they allow you to mitigate inconsistency. I definitely disagree with this take though.

The fact that the B&R article says people are frustrated because it feels like the deck is "abusing the game engine" rather than the fact that the deck consistently wins on turn 1 even through hate so there is effectively no counterplay just proves how out of touch they are with the format.

I'm sure all 34 minutes are just jam-packed full of meaningful interaction and decision making from both players 😀

I built a Shirei deck waaaay back in the day and then like 6 months later they printed Marchesa, the Black Rose which is basically just Shirei on crack and I was so disappointed.

I think they probably just went "lol this card sucks, nobody is gonna play it, there's no reason for this to be banned"

Very glad I still don't have to worry about Prime Time, kind of annoyed that I now have to worry about every 5-color good-stuff deck instantly winning the game if they ever get to 8 mana.

Remember when they said they'd do this for paper magic and then only did it for the Stranger Things partners, the Godzilla cards, and literally nothing else? Whatever happened to that?

MLD is off the GC list for exactly this reason - there are already restrictions around it for lower brackets.
Plus tutors are only as good as the cards you can find with them! Tutoring for a janky synergy piece you built a bracket 2 deck around is way different than tutoring The One Ring.

Also like... Theoretically you're playing your bracket 2 deck against other bracket 2 decks more often than bracket 4s. It might not have that kind of win rate against those opponents.

Green is by far the most powerful color in casual commander. There are a bunch of green cards that deserve to go on the GC list, like The Great Henge and Seedborn Muse. It's insane that blue gets docked for playing free counterspells but green just gets to do whatever they want.

I think tutors should probably come off the GC list if they're going to have their own restriction (few tutors in brackets 1&2). Tutors are only as good as the cards you're finding with them. Running Enlightened Tutor to find Astral Slide in my janky cycling deck shouldn't force it into bracket 3.
