I haven’t played since before Wizards started pushing Commander, at that time called EDH. I felt the Standard Format was a perfect setup to keep the game fresh and innovative while still making money, and the Legacy Format was perfect for the people who had cards that are no longer in Standard. I think the Commander Format killed a perfect system, and Wizards/Hasbro are just trying everything to make money and keep the game mostly unplayable with the licensed tie-ins.
Psh I love playing commander. Me and 3 buddies just getting hammered and shit talking for 6 hours is great fun. I’m not a super magic purist though. I can see how if you’re into other formats the pandering to commander players would be annoying. But I’m the one being pandered to so I’m fine with it.
