The Command Zone

Discussion on new cards we got and spec ideas

Main Topic - Deck Archtypes

Disclaimer: These are our own opinions.

I’ve been feeling a little disinterested in magic lately. Part of it is release fatigue, but more so I think it’s boredom with my decks. Currently I have a deck for each archetype that I’m into and every new commander I’m interested in falls into the same archetypes of my current decks.

Problems

Card overlap

Similarity of play

I feel like the influx of new commanders as the format has become more popular has lead to less unique commanders and more that fall into established archetypes

I also feel like this my problem and not one caused by anything else.
