1. 32 lands is not enough for your Bracket 3 deck to work and 2. If 32 to lands is in fact enough for your Bracket 3 deck to work, it's not really a Bracket 3 deck.

EDH hot take: A lot, if not most, Commander players don't actually like Commander; they just like winning, and they like winning as easily and effortlessly as possible. EDH is just the format they're currently using to facilitate getting those wins.

My current favorite type of EDH Insta post some variant on “If you play these commanders you have amazing taste!” followed by a list of legends so basic they should be stickers on an Owala water bottle.

I can answer that; because he's a stupid, cruel person engaged in toxic behavior for a stupid, cruel voting base that confuses toxic behavior for strength. Saved you the click.

There's no such thing as an anti-vaxxer; they're just dangerously stupid people with no concern for anyone around them and we should stop treating them otherwise.

My #1 skill at an EDH table is pretending you, your commander and your deck are interesting.

I've seen this before. Republicans destroy the economy, voters elect Democrats, Democrats don't fix it fast enough, so voters elect Republicans again. Rinse and repeat. The Slenderman is gonna run on the GOP ticket in 2032 and he'll win because the Dems didn't fix Trumps catastrophe fast enough.

One thing I do with decks is make every creature in the list fit the deck's theme in some way. For one it gives a deck character so I'm not just jamming Esper Sentinel into every white deck, etc. But frankly at this point with so many set coming out it just makes it easy to ignore cards.

I've been playing a lot of Competitive Brawl on Arena (it's fun) and it feels a whole like like where WotC design wants EDH to go; people smashing pre-defined, obvious lists where you're racing to play a game-ending bomb faster than your opponent can play their game-ending bomb.

One thing WotC EDH design has done well is understanding "slots". You can print a card like Erode because StP and Path already exist in those slots, and it's not an auto-include as a result. Almost every set gets a bomb 8-9 drop artifact creature, but they're all fighting each other for a slot.

Last night with a Leyline of Anticipation and Storm of Saruman in play I had to flash in a Curiosity, then a Vanishing which was copied by Storm, drop them onto two attackers swinging for lethal, and phase them out to survive. Not exactly optimal removal, but any port in a storm.

I know it wasn't intentional, but the RC naming a specific turn brackets shouldn't end before was inevitably going to end with a whole lot of players taking that as a target for which to end games, and that's been very, very bad in a lot of ways for EDH.

Someone asked me why I so obsessively upgrade/tweak my decks, and the answer beyond enjoying it? Because if I didn't, I never win a game playing commanders like Callaphe and Isperia against your recently-printed three drop that copies every spell you cast, draw a card when you cast it, has ward 3.

I commented for years on podcasts about how cards like Deadbridge Chant would be so much better if you didn't have to wait a turn for the trigger. How wrong I was. The current design template where you should get everything and get it immediately with zero risk or downside is terrible. Mea culpa.
