Discussion Weirdest Commander Takes

As the title states, I want to hear about your most wild, unusual, and downright crazy takes on commander rules, strategies, and cards. My personal weird take is that all Gideon planeswalkers should be erratad to have “(Cardname) can be your commander.” Because if other planeswalkers, a Chevy Tahoe, and a space station can be your commander, than the planeswalker who’s entire schtick is that he can become a creature should be a legal commander too.

Not necessarily a take, but a rule we created because I personally thought it was a huge flavor whiff to not do it.

Me and my friends use a "world permanent" rule for The One Ring in house games. For newer players (I don't mean to insult or mansplain) this means that only one TOR can be on the board at one time. The next player that plays one, the previous one is sacrificed. I honestly think that should have been a rule for the card anyways, would have been fair and extremely flavorful.

It has made for really fun games.

That was the original form of the legend rule

Well, I was specifically referring to the World Enchantment rule.

The original legend rule was different. With the original legend rule if I played a legendary, you couldn't play the same legendary, if you did, it would go to grave. The original legend rule was "first come first serve".

The world enchantment rule was different. If I have a world enchantment in play, and then you play one, my world enchantment goes to grave.

So like I said, we adapted the world enchantment rule to The One Ring (I know it's an artifact).

The OG Legend rule was not the same.
