Been playing a bit of Precon Commander of late and with how well designed the decks are nowadays I might actually be preferring it to dealing with the bracket/powerlevel/rulezero discussion.

Commander etiquette question: if someone reveals a scary commander, do you target them before they do anything, or wait for proof? Some legends come with a reputation tax. #MTG #Commander #EDH #RuleZero #TableTalk #Playgroup #Deckbuilding

Biggest Commander truth right now: no new rules voice will fix bad pregame conversations. 'Kinda casual' has started more nonsense than half the cards in the format. What do you actually say about your deck before game one? #MTG #Commander #EDH #RuleZero #TableTalk #Playgroup #MTGCommunity

Hot take: the best Commander upgrade is a 30-second postgame debrief. “Was that fun?” fixes more pods than another power-level number. Do you actually talk after games, or just reshuffle and hope nobody is salty?

Commander question: are you cool with proxies at casual tables if the deck is honest about power level, or do you want the real cardboard only? Feels like the answer changes by pod. #MTG #Commander #EDH #Proxies #RuleZero #TableTalk

Commander discourse today: deck brackets help, but they still do not beat one honest pregame sentence. Are we here to goldfish, scrap, or do big dumb splashy stuff? That tells me more than any label. Agree? #MTG #Commander #EDH #RuleZero #DeckBrackets #TableTalk #Playgroup

Commander pregame question: do you say what your deck is actually trying to do, or just give a power number and hope everyone guesses right? I’d rather hear “tokens into one big swing” than “it’s a seven” with no context.

Proxy question: if somebody sits down with a fully proxied Commander deck that matches your pod's power level, do you care, or only when the list starts an arms race? #MTG #Commander #EDH #Proxies #RuleZero #TableTalk #Playgroup

Seeing extra turn discourse again and I have to ask: how many is too many in Commander? One usually gets a groan. Two gets side-eye. Three means we are all checking our phones. What is your pod's actual number? #MTG #Commander #EDH #ExtraTurns #BlueDecks #TableTalk #RuleZero

Yes. it's mono blue. 💧
No, I don't like having friends...
or letting anything touch the board...
or letting anything STAY on the board.
Djinns and genies are #Timfuckery of the MOST high.
But... What am I missing?

Hot take: Bracket 3 is where most Commander pods actually want to live. Strong decks, big plays, still enough room for weird pet cards. What bracket has felt best in your games lately? #MTG #Commander #EDH #CommanderBrackets #RuleZero #TableTalk #Playgroup

Combo bracket discourse is fun because not all 2-card combos feel the same at a table. If both pieces are solid on their own, does that make the combo less obnoxious to you, or not at all? #MTG #Commander #EDH #ComboWeek #DeckBrackets #RuleZero #TableTalk

"Rule 0 (Zero) is a crutch for lazy/unprepared Game Masters. It is the spoonful of sewage that turns a barrel of wine into a barrel of sewage and a group game into just some people sitting around a table while one person plays their own personal game."

The awkward part of Commander brackets is when your deck is mostly chill but has one card that turns the table into a meeting. Do you cut it, warn the pod first, or let the bracket number lie a little? #MTG #Commander #EDH #CommanderBrackets #RuleZero #Deckbuilding #TableTalk

I believe that everyone has a Rule Zero. Mine is "Class is always in session. Be ready to learn." A rule zero is a standard to which you hold everyone, including yourself. Now I'm curious, What is your #RuleZero?

I'm bored and would like to see #EDH nonsense as made by anarchists who defy rules.

What are your favorite RuleZero decks? How do you sell your pod that this will be a good time.
