Title: Commander Articles?
Post by: Vileo on December 10, 2013, 12:04:59 AM
Are you guys still interested in me writing more articles on commander? I've been really busy recently, and I just haven't had the time to sit down and write anything lengthy like that.

Maybe in your next article, you could explore the strengths and weaknesses of Mono vs. Two- vs. Multi-Colored builds.
(Instant +1 if you mention {Iona, Shield of Emeria} only once, lol)

Additional +1 from me if that single mention of Iona is in the form of the sentence "Don't put Iona in your deck unless you hate your friends."

People who have a problem with people who play Iona should learn to be better players. /snide remark

Lol in all honesty I have no problem with her but Gorzo and I play EDH for fun rather than winning and Iona can be stupid lol but in my more competitive decks like Uril I'm like sure shell make a nice chump blocker lol plus she's really easy to remove :P I play 3 colour and 5 colour and in both I can deal with her in every colour so if she names Black fine ill kill her from Path etc. I don't mind Iona I just don't like the idea of her.

Also {Grand Arbiter}in EDH is just like really? Fine but you'll lose bc look who became target #1 I hope you have a counterspell for all of our turns!!! Lol

EDH is the only format I play in paper right now, so I would appreciate to hear your thoughts in an article. Personally I don't have a problem with even one card in EDH. It is a social format, so if someone plays a broken card, that player can be dealt with by the other 3 players (assuming all players have generally good decks). And if a player goes infinite, good for that person. Some of the best cards and combos in Magic are legal in EDH, so I am glad to see them played...even if I get turn 1 Iona'd or turn 2 {Flowstone Flood}'ed or...well you get the picture.
