In EDH if a commander deals 20 or more damage you win correct?

21 or more to a single player from a single commander means they lose
Yes
Does this include non combat damage?
Curious for {Ruric Thar the Unbowed} cuz he seems like a pretty great commander.
I'm gonna buy a giant eagle bag. Write nope in black marker and give you that. You can keep it. Big bag of nope.

All you need to do is wait for them to gain life and bam! Instant win
Lol damn you :P
Also worth noting you can die from your own commander lol {Karona the False God} can kill you lol happened to me more than I care to admit lol

Yep, it's why people hate on {Heartless Hidetsugu}...
commander damage is only combat damage. many commanders would be totally broken if not like {kaervek the merciless}. let me grab a ruling.
from commander.net :
If a player has been dealt 21 points of combat damage by a particular Commander during the game, that player loses a game.
so {heartless hidetsugo} will not do commander damage if he activates his ability. when you draw cards with {nekusar, the mindrazer} on the field, you will not take commander damage, only normal damage.

Really???
Do you have a rule posting for that???
yea edited with ruling.
It is for sure combat damage only. People hate on Heartless Hidetsugu, but it has nothing to do with commander damage, it's just because he's a jerk ;)

Well that changes things
yea generally the only way to kill someone with commander damage is voltroning up.

21 adds up pretty quick. {Kresh the Bloodbraided} and {Grimgrin, Corpse-Born} both tend to get there in one swing, and there are lots of biggun's who get there in 3 hits like {Maelstrom Wanderer} and {Zurgo Helmsmasher}

{raafiq of the many} also normally gets there in three turns if he attacks the same person.
And {Vorosh, the Hunter}
{Jenara, Asura of War} can get there really quickly as well.
With all the boosting cards in my {Kaalia of the Vast} deck, I can push her from a 2/2 to a...
Something big. Hang on...
{Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite} = 4/4...
{Sword of Kaldra} = 9/9...
{Godsend} = 12/12...
{Ogre Battledriver} = 14/12...
Yeah, that's pretty good. XD
I like ruhan and the godhead auras

its because commanders can only be legendary creatures. if you want to learn about commander you should check out the intro to commander in the commander section.
Let's not forget the original 3 shot killers for which the format is named...
{nicol bolas}
{vaevictis asmadi}
{palladia-mors}
{chromium}
{arcades Sabboth}
EVERYONE IT IS TIME TO STOP BUMPING A RESOLVED RULES THREAD! WE GET IT, EDH IS AMAZING AND WE HATE ON THOSE COMMANDERS THAT POKE YOU TIL YOUR DEAD! MOVING ON NOW? MAYBE IF I USE ALL CAPS I WON'T SEEM ANGRY?
Can you use {Avacyn, Angel of Hope}?
What, as a Commander? Yeah, of course!
But wouldnt everything be indestructable?
Yeah but you have to get her on the field first
Rule 104.3j
In a Commander game, a player that's been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same commander over the course of the game loses the game. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704. Also see rule 903.14.)
