I would like to add on to this: Commander is a terrible way to teach people how to play Magic and it is a catastrophe that it has been normalized as an entry point. The idea that it's "easy and fun" is hysterical. Grist and Necromancy are in pre-cons now.
im pretty new to magic. the friend who got me into it insisted that i start with commander because its "easy and fun"
good thing i went to a draft event at my local before actually playing commaner cause i woulda never played again otherwise lmao
