@gavinverhey.bsky.social final feedback on edh four: please keep color identity as it is. It feels like WotC is trying to remake edh in it's own image piece by piece. It still feels wrong to tap for non identity colored mana when "can be used as mana of any color" tech exists.

@gavinverhey.bsky.social other feedback on your four edh questions. Don't ban Rhystic. Don't Ban Thassa's Oracle ( ban consult if you must). Don't ever ban based on cEDH unless they splinter off.

Resurrecting this: @gavinverhey.bsky.social if you are considering a new bracket for edh, please make a "Bracket 0" that uses the edh banlist only but uses the original edh philosophy as guiding principles. i.e. game changers aren't limited, but the mindset isn't fast ultra optimized. 0 for original

@gavinverhey.bsky.social Please, for the love of conversational aides rather than arguing-algorithms, make the Game Changers list be: "These are cards you should announce are in your deck at level 3 and below" rather than a concrete number. Let brackets truly be defined by intent, not math.

I play her as a commander. Every Island has a different Art.

Agreed. The dream would, of course, be to play her in a deck with all of her flavor texts. And, if that Long-named Chef got their iconic cookbook as an artifact... My librarian deck would love to shelve a copy of "Memoirs of a Soldier".

my favorite CIA fact that puts many of its early/deranged activities (e.g. MK Ultra, agents putting psychedelics in each other's coffee cups) in important context is that it was formed only in 1947. it was less than 20 years old when JFK was killed, younger than homeland security is today

@ethanfleischer.bsky.social I signed on to this new platform specifically because the only thing I missed about that bad old platform was the ability to remind you that Maeveen O'Donagh needs a card. A really good one too. Thanks!
