Reasons for banning

[MarduArrow]

Because its so much fun to go 'i cast my commander. Next turn i win!'

Along with {iona, shield of emeria}
"I cast iona. I ban you from playing green spells. You are running mono green. I win'" its a blast

If someone is able to throw down Iona and you are playing mono, I say you get what you deserve:) lol

Not really, mono decks should be allowed to compete also. {Karakas} is banned, and sometimes you can stop it. {Kaalia of the Vast} makes it uncounterable.

The reason I run it with Kaalia is because all the people I play with love their no max hand size and counter spells (most of which are blue) I mean really, theres nothing more demoralizing than "I play my general" {spell crumple} and of course next time I drop my general my cousin drops his, which happens to be {thraximundar} and forces me to sac the one creature I have on the field, long story short: it's a defensive measure

I play Iona, usually against counter- or mill-related Blue or land-destruction Red.

I treat her as a defensive measure myself, and she works. I don't know anyone who runs a mono deck, so it's hardly an issue, more of a temporary obstacle.

That's another thing, pretty much no one runs a mono colour edh deck

That's exactly right. I understand how people would find her infuriating though. I run her, but I'll be taking her out of my deck, provided I can find a card to trade her for. Restricting what people can do can easily make a game boring, and I play for enjoyment.

I run a mono blue mana ramp into awesome stuff edh deck, with like 1 counterspell in the whole deck, and it's awesome and can do some crazy things

I've got a mono-blue {Kira, Great Glass-Spinner} deck.

My buddy is working in an EDH with her. I'm thinking of making a blue { Braids, Conjurer Adept} deck.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with mono color decks. They can be super fun.

Been working on a {Talrand, Sky Summoner} deck, myself.

[Double-O-Scotch]

Ooh, talrand is broken with Iso scepter! I can only imagine the abuse lol

[Keyeto]

My buddy has a {Kaho, Minamo Historian} EDH deck. Filled to the brim with counters, bounce effects, and the lovely Erayo + Arcane Laboratory combo. Thing has never lost 1v1.
