[WOE] Skewer Slinger in c/spoilers@mtgzone.com

Flavor wise I feel like something named skewer slinger should have a fling-like effect that sacs food tokens to ping

i hate the design of this. the small section could have been the “a”, instead it’s the T.

if this is the kind of terrible decisions you make when making a meme, i would be terrified to learn what life choices you make.

I’m kinda thrilled about this year’s plane chase rejuvenation, but i’m not a seasoned commander player so curious how others feel (mtgzone.com)
 

The last playgroup I had wasn’t conventional; we didn’t play commander, but we also weren’t heavily 1v1, we all played modern decks but our games were both group ffa games and 1v1 games, and we had to balance our decks for both.

One thing that helped our games stay balanced was that we very often played planechase on top of that — not with the standard rules, though, rather than each player bringing a deck of planes, we just used a full set of planes (we played proxy back then), and had one big plane deck which was “neutral” to any player, and existed to help weaken combos and strengthen general purpose strategies.

Also now that i’m trying to get into commander, commander feels like a fun place for the mechanic, whether under standard rules or the “neutral all planes shared deck” variation i played.

Is this an unpopular opinion?

wotc lately is quite obviously in the mindset of “commander is our most popular format, we need to control and guide it ourselves to ensure we profit from it, because these players are stealing money from us by making up their own format and robbing us of our god-given profits”
