A New Era for Commander: WotC Takes the Reins

In a recent live stream, Gavin and Aaron provided insights into the future of Commander, announcing that Wizards of the Coast (WotC) will be assuming control of the format. This significant change comes in response to the backlash faced by the Rules Committee (RC) and Commander Advisory Group (CAG) following recent bans.

One of the key points discussed in the live stream was the introduction of a new tier system for evaluating deck power. This system aims to make the "rule 0" conversation more accessible to a wider player base by providing clear metrics for assessing deck strength. While previous attempts at power rating scales have faced challenges due to subjectivity, a more defined tier system could offer a more objective framework for evaluating decks. However, it remains unclear how this system will accommodate cEDH, a sub-format that has largely eschewed the rule 0 conversation in favor of a focus on competitive play.

The decision to place Commander under WotC control was undoubtedly influenced by the harassment and abuse directed at members of the RC and CAG. The abhorrent behavior exhibited by a small but vocal group of players is unacceptable and has no place in our community. It is a testament to the resilience of these individuals that they continued to serve the format despite facing such adversity.

While it may seem like this change of ownership was a sudden decision, there is a possibility that it was a long-term plan that was accelerated due to recent events. While this is pure speculation, it suggests that WotC may have been considering this move for some time and that the recent backlash merely hastened its implementation.

The community's reaction to this change is mixed. Many players are skeptical about WotC's ability to effectively manage the Commander format, citing concerns about their handling of other formats like Modern, Pioneer, and Standard. However, others believe that the new tier system and WotC's direct involvement could lead to a more consistent and enjoyable experience for all players.

Personally, I am cautiously optimistic about this change. The introduction of a clear tier system is a positive step towards making Commander more accessible and understandable for new players. While I have reservations about WotC's ability to manage the format effectively, I believe that the community's recent actions have made this change inevitable. It is now up to WotC to demonstrate that they can meet the expectations of the Commander community and ensure the continued growth and success of the format.

Genuinely considering finally investing some money into some MTG cards because they're always wildly overstocked at my local Target (and I’m very much fed up of not being able to find Pokemon cards anywhere, seriously it’s not fun anymore thanks to the scalpers)
