Fuck, right? I’m glad I found some folks to play old formats with. I don’t even mind a friendly game of commander if we’re building around a theme central to the lore, like zombies or guilds. But even then, the burnout on the UB garbage is real. My buddy has a sick spider themed commander that would probably go harder if he added some of the Spiderman stuff. But he won’t, because it’s stupid and kills the vibe of fantasy realm spiders and “magic”.

Amen.
