New bannings

Dude this sucks!

Why? Do you use prime tities?

[Juggalonoke]

Yes in two of my best running commander decks ATM

[Phat Max]

Commander is a casual format at heart: if no one cares in your play group, keep on playing PT.

But if it's a more 'organized' event... Gonna have to swap him out

I do both that's why it sucks so much i don't wanna have to keep swapping him in and out

[Phat Max]

Not much can be done about that, although I'd just take him out for good. I know I'd forget one time and get DQ'd or some nonsense.

Same I think that's about all I can do :/

[Phat Max]

I know what you mean. I really want {Griselbrand} in my decks, but I'd rather just not deal with the hassle.

LOl that's nothing I built and ENTIRE deck around him only to find out 2 days after finishing it that he was banned

[Bixlorious]

So guess what's coming out of my mimeoplasm deck and going in?

[Fenster]

Its like the ban of ponder in
Modern.

Don't get me wrong, I love {serra ascendent} (it's great in my gisela deck), but how in the world was that not considered for banning? it seems broken in commander unless; A: you are playing in multiplayer where someone is almost bound to have a removal spell. or B. house rules are added to make it 50 or even 60 life.

At the end of the day, {Serra Ascendant} is just a creature and can be killed with a million different means. A 6/6 isn't even that huge in this environment.

I am sad to see the Titan go...I felt that he was a "big, splashy effect" which is kind of the hallmark of the format. At the same time, I can totally see the counter-argument. I am surprised they didn't ban {Consecrated Sphinx}...he kinda rides the line between "big-and-splashy" the same way thenTitan did.

I am glad I get to play with my Kokushos again. Outside of a casual {Dragonstorm} deck, they really had no home.

When it comes to the competitive scene, tutors are some of the most powerful abilities to have in a commander deck. Games come down to who tutors the win, which is boring (IMO)

{Primeval Titan} does this every turn basically. It is 'just' lands... But it is still too easy to abuse.

{Consecrated Sphinx} just draws two cards, which while powerful in its own right... It's not gonna auto-draw the win condition like PT could

[JoeHall]

well, on a 4-player table...it draws 6 cards per turn. That is a lot...?

[Phat Max]

Also means there's six people that should at least have something to deal with it... Otherwise they should lose
