Thoughts

I finally played my first Commander games after it’s commercial launch over ten years ago. The dynamics were a lot different from the multiplayer games I played in the past. This may be due to the decks being specifically designed for multiplayer or people are just better at multiplayer as it’s often their main format.

In general, I had a lot more fun than I expected and the deck seemed to work more or less as I thought. In the future, I probably need more artifacts and enchantments. Having a non-creature to sacrifice in turn three after playing Braids seems to be very good.
