Commander format discussion
Also called EDH or Elder Dragon Highlander, Commander is Magic's most popular format and all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your 100 card deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic's history.
Commander combines the command zone, color identity, singleton deckbuilding, multiplayer strategies, and the entire MtG cardpool for one of the most exciting and fresh ways to play.

[[Trostani, Selesnya's Voice]] and [[Queen Marchesa]] Long may she reign! These were two of the first decks I built by myself and countless decks have been built and taken apart since them and they're still here and still get played.
Long may she reign! I can see the enduring appeal of those commanders. They both get everyone in on the action.
I hate when people durdle...I recently built a [[Kami of the Crescent Moon]] deck to force people to draw all their cards so we all have options and answers. I love sitting across from 3 people and we all have a grip of 20 cards, let's make this game pop off!

Ah but you see now instead of tanking on three cards in hand they're all tanking on 30 cards in hand. The monkey's paw curls!
That's it! I'm getting my Mogis Group Slug deck...
That is why I like to run [[Forced Fruition]] in blue. By the time that normally hits it is like calling for turns when a round is lasting too long.
