in addition to this, giving hundreds of new players all the same general is stupid. if ten new players get introduced to EDH with say the new dragon dude. then they have a few staples in those colors and that general. if they are just starting thats what they will be playing with for sometime unless they hate it. have 5 people with the same deck is annoying. having 5 people with the excact same bad list is even worse…

i think EDH/commander was doing fine before hand. its a fun casual or competative format that was already in seemingly its hayday and gaining popularity. i don't want to sound like a WotC hater but they couldn't just leave a format that has been flourishing without them alone?
