Tom Bombadil

Four-Color Commanders

New 07 Oct 2023 Asked by puresmoulder 63 Comments

I've been thinking about multi colour commanders and I feel like I don't really like 4 colour commanders?5 colour commanders are big and flashy and when they offer unique deck building opportunities like Tom Bombadil, they're really fun to build.On the other end, 1 to 3 colour commanders feel like they're still restrictive enough that whatever colours you have, you still feel like you're missing out significantly on the colours you're missing. (which is great!)Meanwhile 4 colour commanders just feel like they're 5 colour but worse. Being short one colour doesn't feel like it affects deck building significantly, and the commanders themselves don't feel unique compared to other commanders with more or fewer colours than them. It's like I have to work out a more complicated manabase for an effect that could be in fewer colours. Just wanted to know your thoughts on them too.


How do others feel about four-color commanders?

Geek Rating System

New 02 Aug 2012 Asked by mathhombre 5 Comments

Does certified geek rating vary inversely with how widely know something is? What would it take to hit 8 CGR? Dr Who? (Further guesses: 9 ~ Ender Wiggins (pre-movie), 10 ~ Tom Bombadil.) Since you're linking two things (punisher mechanic w. Punisher, comic) is the CGR the minimum or the average (or is it more complicated) of the two?


Please don’t read too much into the accuracy of my quickly made-up geek rating. I gave it a 7 because it required you to have extension Magic knowledge and know who the Punisher is and what his emblem looks like.
