Picture this, you are at your uni’s mtg club, you’re a few turns into a 3 person commander game. A French man walks in and sits down at your pod and starts shuffling his deck. He’s new to the club, it’s the first official day of the year so we got a bunch of new people. He makes some polite conversation. A few turns later someone plays a card that exiles multicolor permanents, and you have to exile your gruul signet. The French man sitting next to you says “Ah, you knowuh when it comes to the uh how do you say uh ramp in a deeck you should have played a card like the uh Llanowar Elves and not the uh multicoleur stuff.” And you get to derail the game and explain to him that because your commander has a cost of a single blue green and red pip and you want to be able to get it out turn 3 reliably you have a lot of multicolor ramp specifically so you can use it for color fixing if need be and for more general ramp purposes. You go into detail how a manadork like Llanowar Eves wouldn’t help you because it costs green to cast and only gives green. He starts to look like he regrets saying anything but you need to make sure that he knows that in the early game something like Llanowar elves is effectively useless to you as if you already have a green available to play it you don’t need another green source until after turn 3 and only if you plan on playing something with two green pips in its cost. You run out of steam a little, but just go back to the game. Two turns later he misgenders you.
