In that case just tell him that those two orbs in casual play groups just plain suck. Usually people get the point. I myself often have “sideboards” in my casual decks that make them a little less casual, for those situations where I need that little bit more oomph. So maybe that’s a way for him to go, leaving them out most games, but bringing them in every now and then, when he had a bad streak or faces some abomination himself.
/u/bboomslang on Should things like Winter/Static Orb be banned?
If your pal is playing Urza and Winter / Static Orb, have a sit down with them and have a serious talk, because Urza + Orbs tends to at least scratch cEDH terrain – it might just be plain too nasty for your table.
On the other hand, Omnath as a green commander has access to a lot of the very best artifact removal – even free ones, like Force of Vigor. So Omnath – even if it is the mono green one – is quite prepared to take on Urza, if it is a more casual build (but casual build and orbs don’t usually mesh that well).
So, yeah, have a sit down and talk sounds like the more correct approach, because playing a tuned Urza at a casual table is just pubstomping.
"Can I use proxies?": a video essay about EDH and class
Hi, folks!
We’re back with another video essay. This one’s about Commander, proxies, and class. We hope you enjoy it and that it inspires some charitable and productive conversations here and among your playgroups. Thanks for your attention, and I hope you’re having a good day.
(And watch for that cEDH shoutout near the end of the video!)

/u/bboomslang on Would sydri galvanic genius be a viable cedh commander.
I just realized that in a bears in cars List she could be a cool commander – not cEDH, but with bears in cars being more of a meme Deck anyway, I would give it more leeway there 😉 – her ability can pseudo-crew vehicles and her way to remove 0 cmc ramp…

When the inevitable "we hear you" from MaRo comes, reject it!
This post is in response to the depravity of Secret Lair: Cancelled Zombie Television Show.
We all know what is next: Mark Rosewater doing the kowtow mea culpa dance wearing the shreds of his employer’s integrity.
I say, “reject it!” This product betrays customer confidence like few I can recall, and that is saying quite a bit. This is a company. They want to keep testing the market with progressively unscrupulous actions? Okay. But, as a consumer, don’t let your conscience and good will toward an individual cloud your better judgement.
This never should have happened. If one of WotC’s patented feedback polls went out asking: “What do you think of brand new, mechanically-unique, black-bordered cards printed exclusively into a Secret Lair?” It would have been met with universal disdain.
I don’t care it WotC “hears me” as they run me over with their garbage truck while making an illegal turn.

Kenrith, but a more elf bally version. So infinite mana through many different overlapping combos into Kenrith into beating face with dorks on steroids.
