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.

What's your pet deck? (self.commander)

We all have that deck that just survives even though it isn't the best. For me that's [[Torgaar, Famine Incarnate]]. It's not the best mono black commander in any way but its particular combination of effects to me is emblematic of mono black. It's a bit of a swiss army knife and so I find myself hard pressed to really change anything about the core of the deck.

I built a [[Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar]] $50 budget deck a number of years back that is just a mono green spell slinger build. It is pretty simple to play for new people and resilient enough to play with my normal group.

Being a budget deck I even run it unsleeved and get that nostalgia of playing kitchen table magic as a kid.

That sounds great. I care about the new player experience as well and it's cool to see such a "what you see is what you get" commander get some love. I need to pick one up, actually.
