MTG: Commander

EDH is changing its name....

 

[turgy22]

Kind of old news. EDH has been called Commander on MTGO since before I stopped playing there, which was probably about a year ago.

The new cards specifically designed for the format is certainly interesting news, though. I guess the multi-player specific sets will become a yearly tradition.

 

[Spiderman]

Yeah, I know. They made specific mention of MTGO and that it would be "old news" to those players

But for those of us who don't play MTGO, we've still called it EDH.

New cards are always fun, but this news is a bit stale. The only upside is that I could play tournaments with my EDH deck, yay. But I like how the format has grown, now it's actually possible to get opponents or deck advice. I think it's about two years ago that I posted a thread about it here, but then it didn't really strike a chord.

About Commander or EDH? How is the news stale?

 

[Shabbaman]

Because there's not actually changing much.

 

[Spiderman]

Ah. Well, the name change bears mentioning, since people who knew it as EDH will have to know Commander means the same thing (like me )

A bit more news on the decks that were mentioned in the first article: Commander Decks product images. So each box contains three "wedge" commanders, and two of them are new. I'm looking forward to the actual decklists! I'm considering buying one. I have a B/G and a R/G deck now, it would be nice to do something with the other two colors as well.
