Hey everyone I am sure everyone knows by now but the commander rules committee resigned and WOTC is taking over the rules for better or for worse. I included their pictures below. I am not here to talk about the politics of commander or wether mana crypt should be banned. I am here to talk about people which is what fuels our game.


The committe broke up for many reasons but one of them I heard is because of the backlash they recieved for the recent bans. Some of that feed back included death threats to the members and their families, which is horrible. Just a horrible thing to do to another human being.


The rules committee were not a paid organization. They were a group of volunteers that just want to bring order to a game we all love which is a near impossible task. And they paid for…



I am sure many of you already heard the news but the Commander Rules Committe just updated the ban list. As of today the following cards are banned:

Dockside Extortionist

Jeweled Lotus

Mana Crypt

Nadu, Winged Wisdom

I personally don’t mind this change because I never use these cards, but what do you guys think? Also make sure to update your decks before playing this week on Friday.

I think there could have been a more comprehensive, nuanced solution than the bans. Even though I don't play these cards. The idea behind the bracket system that I saw where just one "CEDH" card would mean your entire deck is Bracket 4 deck doesn't seem like a great idea. A points system where certain cards receive a point value that your deck can't exceed seems more reasonable. And nuanced. Sports have different league levels, like Football: Pop Warner, Junior Varsity, Varsity, Collegiate (with different tiers within that), and then even different levels of pro leagues. A flavor for everyone.

POP QUIZ: A stax deck is made up of cards that limit player resources like mana or preventing game actions such as activating abilities. But does anyone know which card named this archetype?

Where does the word stax come from?

  • 0%Stasis

  • 0%Smokestack

  • 0%Stony Silence

  • 0%Smothering Tithe


Why do we play magic? If you want to play a competitive game with amazing graphics, you can play awesome video games like fallout, spider-man

or call of duty. Magic is also a financially straining hobby, and it forces you to play with strangers in person. I know why I play, but why do you guys play? When there’s so many good reasons to stop.
