Another great interview with an interesting guest with a different perspective. Still very much a casual player, but glad there’s an outlet for those people who lovely playing high powered decks. (Ideally not just stomping people at LGS’s or at kitchen tables).
Coming back to this video post-JL, MC, DE, Nadu ban is a refreshing look at the way cEDH players and EDH players should interact and understand each other.
The conversation at 50:22 is so real. I travel a lot for work and SO MANY small/midsize town lgs’s have NO 1v1 magic options, they only have commander. And that builds more resentment towards commander than anything else
Ian is such a great inspo in this space! his coaching really gave me the confidence to break out of my shell, and now i'm topping tournaments :D literally wouldn't be where i am today without his support, best coach 10/10 no notes
re: the “less pubstomping” at about 15:00, that has sadly not been my experience. Went to a shop two or 3 days ago and played against two people who reinforced my beliefs that I shouldn’t play casual EDH with strangers. Witnessed mystical -> demonic -> mystic remora in someone’s deck described (by them) both as “fun” and as being their “weak deck”
I’d love to have the dockside conversation w ComedIan. I agree w him that Gruul gets much worse if it goes. But almost all decks do. That’s because most cedh decks have red in them. Mostly because of dockside. The format is warped around dockside to the point of most decks w blue playing minimum 2 and sometimes way more than 2 clone affects… mostly for dockside. The things dockside enables are fun and cool and interesting. I wouldn’t ban the card. I would like to see a BowMasters ban and I think Ian would agree. I’m just not sure dockside increases diversity🤷♂️
People who protest sol ring are the same as people who protest legal marijuana lol Ban it in your own house but mind ya business when you're in someone else's 😂
ComedianMTG is such a good place to start if anyone is looking at cEDH! He’s done so much for the format and I’m so glad to see him on!

Ian is such a great spokesperson for CEDH as a format. His attitude and energy for the format is what drove me further toward CEDH

i'm sorry to hear that. over the grand scheme it has definitely lessened, but averages being what they are means that sometimes it still happens =(
