Looking at how strong Mardu has been this past summer, what makes Tymna/Dargo standout that the other mardu decks like Celes, Dihada, Rog/Tymna can’t do? Is it entirely pilot dependent or a numbers game in terms of the number of pilots?

When Flash was banned in 2020 there were 19,200 unique cards legal in commander, since that point we’ve seen the introduction of 10,000 unique cards to the format including the development of new strategies and old tech. While my personal unban pick would be Nadu to hear myself talk more, what would you guys like to see banned/unbanned to see a more interesting meta?
If nothing, explain why you didn’t pick Yawgmoth’s Bargin.

Ps, do you still want those first person glasses cameras?

We keep hearing about how bad 4th seat is. My lgs started testing an emblem this week for 4th seat that works as a lotus petal but doesn’t turn on opal, kinnan, and such. What are your thoughts on this addition or do you not see any problems and 4th seat should just jam harder?

I know you’ve visited the topic of cabbage merchant as a stax commander, but I dissagree and think it should be a midrange value engine deck, the deck can tutor out Academy manufactor and or Perigrin took by turn 3, having an effective Mystic Remora that makes mana AND is also a combo piece. I’ve done some personal testing and the deck generates absurd value very quickly, often winning on top etc.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

My local meta is full of people who want nothing to do with the political aspect of CEDH and have I am struggling to figure out how to properly navigate these games without any politics. What are your guys thoughts on how to best navigate games where no one is willing to politic?

How do you approach playing from seat 3-4. Especially 4 as the meta for me is a 2.5 meta, where seat 1 and seat 2 might get to see their 3rd turn and present wins but 3-4 end up watching.
