How Bad Is It? Wizards Takes Over Commander.

Further fallout from last week’s divisive new ban announcement: The Commander Rules Committee has decided to officially hand over control of the format to Wizards of the Coast. This shift in power brings the 13-year era of community management to an end. Needless to say, there’s a lot to talk about. Join Jimmy, Rachel, and JLK as we sit down to discuss our takes on how we got here, what’s happening now, and what we think this means for the future of Commander. -------- Support the show and become a Patron!
