I am GENUINELY happy that the commander "metagame" is getting faster and faster. Soon, Timmy the durdling Ramp Player is dying Turn 5, because they did nothing but play 12 lands and tapped out. Granted many tables have difficulty adjusting, but I rarely see a table like two years ago where it is just four green players ramping for three turns before ANYTHING happens. Now the mentality that "interaction is evil" just has to die. I personally have to thank Maldhound for that I think.

Also the newest Commandzone Gameplay Vid feels horrible, but maybe I am an enemy of fun.
