My thoughts on the M14 Rule Change.

I personally from a gameplay perspective love love love the new rulings. Speaking as a person that plays mostly Commander this just makes me so excited!

Why?

Because no longer will I have to worry about sharing a general with others! This opens up a whole new world! A new fantastic point of view! It's just awesome.

Now to the negatives...flavorwise it makes like no sense. I know about flavor explanation from Doug Beyer. But still. However, I think in the long scheme of things this will make the game a bit more fun.

Next up I think most people that are upset, are upset because of the increased difficulty of killing shrouded/hexproofed Avacyns and other creatures like her with the removal of Clone murder. If I am being totally honest...don't let her get shrouded/indestructible. There a crapton of tuck/exile effects that work. Play spot removal. Adapt. It will be different at first but change isn't always necessarily bad and I think this one is being blown way out of proportion.

And on a similar final note. Fuck Geist of Saint Ass.
