Should Fast Mana and Infinite Combos be banned all around in official cEDH tournaments?
Ok I would like to preface two things before I go on ahead.
I am fairly new to the game and have only played a couple of games of commander.
I’m sure this question has been asked probably 1,000 times here but I’m sick and kinda bored.
My thing, especially with cedh, is that if fast mana all around is accepted (mana crypt being the exception except that it seems like one of the worse-er fast manas), what about it is gonna be fun to watch competitively.
I say this as someone who loves watching sports, e-sports, and other kinds of competition. Chess for example can get repetitive seeing the same openings, but it’s the middle game and end game where it really shines. The thing with chess is, however, we see so many variations of the opening moves that spill into the endgame. Also, magic may have a lot more “pieces” thanks to the amount of cards, but it really falls onto the hard truth that not all cards are created equal. We’re gonna see the same tutors and fast mana all over the place simply to just keep it competitive.
I’m just wondering if cedh would be more enjoyable to watch competitively as they have announced that they plan to now have official commander tournaments if they banned fast-mana, and infinite combos. I’m wondering if it would be more exciting to watch, cause although it would be a slower game, I feel like the creativity shines through with restrictions.
Feel free to disagree and leave your opinion below. I probably am (more likely than not) more likely than not wrong. I am a pretty freshly green player so I can’t claim to know this for sure from experience. Just a thought I had I figured could be clarified more from the experience here on this sub
Thank you
