Yeah Trinket did a good video last month making the same point. When your IP is just other IP’s, eventually the well runs dry

And games like Riftbound + FAB are doing their best to double down on the competitive angle now that Magic isn’t also trying to own that anymore.

Agree with you there as well - I think we are just in the age of commander being king. It was standard for a long time, but the pandemic did a huge number on what magic was about - and now that they have opened the box of funko toys too, it’s hard to see that shifting significantly.

I’m in 100% agreement with you if that isn’t clear - I’m not trying to argue with you here. I’m more just clarifying they won’t make anything close to the changes you’re recommending until it has a meaningful impact on the bottom line.

I think that you wildly overestimate how much hasbro execs care about anything other than $, and that is all driven by commander.

You have correctly identified problems with the number of sets and length of standard rotations.
They are simply not set up with a team or staffing model to do what you’re suggesting though, and once the cards go to print, that is that. Not sure how you expect they’d make changes from the past

They are testing it within the context of the environment as it existed at the time the set was being designed.
There’s no way for them to retroactively make changes based on interactions from future sets - that’s what banning are a tool that exist for.

I find it’s more common that people overestimate their decks bracket - so I would definitely be dubious of that behavior.
That being said - the level of discussion you’re facilitating being new is A+, just keep doing the best you can. It won’t work out every time.

Yep - it is the current state of things and likely will be failing some huge paradigm shift

You also aren’t obligated to make any changes to it.
You can if you want to of course, but there aren’t outside forces pressuring you to do so.
Also speaking as someone from the age of “60 card casual” there were no generally accepted rules for deck construction pre-commander. It is a big deal.

I think this is exactly what you’re looking for. Deck I designed moxfield.com/decks/cD2bRU...

A deck created using Moxfield.

While I do think I like the consistency of “if your commander would go to another zone, you can instead put it in the command” I surely agree with the sentiment that if your deck is non functional without your commander you’ve constructed it poorly.
You should take advantage, but not rely on it
