It's a fun format where you get to use whacky cards no longer viable in Legacy/Vintage, like Palnichron or Hazezon Tamar. Unfortunately, the banlist has been rather arbitrary, so instead of getting something like Prismatic, you just end up with more expensive, imbalanced Legacy. The higher life totals don't help, either.
As a Johnny-Spike, I kind of loathe the so-called casual players. They are """"casual"""" only when they're winning, then turn into sore losers anytime they lose. I've seen more meltdowns at EDH tables than I have at comp REL events. I gave up on the format when they unbanned Metalworker.
Yeh I couldn't be dealing with ban lists and bollocks like that and I can deal with other people even less so I don't get involved on that level. Me and friends just get booster boxes and play for the enjoyment. Nice and casual xD
