I haven’t played since before Wizards started pushing Commander, at that time called EDH. I felt the Standard Format was a perfect setup to keep the game fresh and innovative while still making money, and the Legacy Format was perfect for the people who had cards that are no longer in Standard. I think the Commander Format killed a perfect system, and Wizards/Hasbro are just trying everything to make money and keep the game mostly unplayable with the licensed tie-ins.
WotC has been royally fucking up Standard for the past few years, but I don’t think that Commander is the problem.
The problem is that WotC wants to push more product, which is messing with how Standard works. They should just accept that there are four standard sets a year, choose the most thematic Universes Beyond set to be a part of Standard magic, and accept that some Universes Beyond product shouldn’t be in Standard Magic.
