I've been playing a lot and trying to pin down what I most like to do with this game, and now that I think I can imagine what my "perfect" format for me would be, I'm wondering if it exists/has a name so I can try to pitch my friends on it.

What I think I want is:

  • 100 card singleton
  • No command zone card(s)
  • 1v1
  • No sideboard
  • Affordable enough that I'm not dropping $1000+ on a deck
  • Low enough powered that I can start building with cards I already have (which is mostly from sets since Foundations)

I know the real answer is "formatless, just throw 100 cards into a deck" but I think there would still be some need to level the playing field a bit since my collection is so much smaller than my friends' But surely people have ways to play that hit at least most of what I'm looking for. So yeah, I'd love to hear what people can suggest!

Normally don't pay attention to Secret Lair stuff because there is so much of it these days, but this one is interesting because they're offering bundles with the commander decks included

As someone completely new to Magic but very well versed in Final Fantasy, they finally got me into the game with these sets.

My friend was doing an Edge of Eternities prerelease last night, and the shop had gotten a big restock of the Cloud commanders. So now I have all of these that piqued my interest…AND one EoE commander deck because they had some for sale.

So FF was my gateway drug into this game, and now I have some “normal” Magic cards.

But I have to stop because I also have to eat. I’m sure no one here has ever had that problem.
