Nath the Gilt-Leaf : Commander

{"ops":[{"insert":"Welcome to the game, and the game's best constructed format. First bit of advice, make sure you are honest with other players in the pre-game talk before you play a dedicated discard deck. Discard slows games down and can even lock other people out of participating in the game. Commander is a social format, with a community culture that embraces self-expression and walks a line between allowing other players the space for their deckto do its thing at the same time you are trying to win.

You can show respect for other people and their time by being honest about your deck.\n\nRather than giving you a list of cards I would cut, I'm going to recommend a basic approach to evaluating cards yourself.

Here's some examples:\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wurm's Tooth"}},{"insert":" (in my opinion) doesn't advance your game plan or solve a problem. So you should only play it if it makes you grin.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sadistic Hypnotist"}},{"insert":" advances your game plan because it combos with your commander.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Krosan Grip"}},{"insert":" solves a problem.\n"}]}
