Quick question for Commander players: when you're building a new deck, do you start with the commander and build around it, or do you start with a theme/strategy and find the commander later?

Five Final Fantasy commanders in EDHREC's top 40 right now. Y'shtola at #5, Vivi at #16, Kefka, Sephiroth, Cloud all cracked the list. Crossover sets are reshaping Commander in a big way. The Ur-Dragon doesn't care though, still #1.

EDHREC is running a March Madness bracket but with commanders. This is the content I live for.

Who's your pick to go all the way? I need a dark horse suggestion.

MTGA - what are some good resources for Brawl?

Something like [edhrec](https://edhrec.com) , but that has Brawl/Standard Brawl as a format. Does such a thing exist?

Things I have learned from building my first #mtg #edh deck since 2020:
1. The sustained effort of #wotc to support #commander by, for example, adding more white draw effects, is noticeable.
2. I wonder if sites like #EDHREC are drawing from lists of actual decks; these choices don’t seem like they’d survive in the real world.
3. Don’t fall into the trap of building a deck when you have “all the expensive cards”.
4. The #magicthegathering Commander 2020 precons smell weird when you unwrap them.

Browsing #EDHREC to see what people are doing with Mr.Foxglove, seeing mostly generic bant draw value cards: I sleep.
Check reddit, someone suggests [[Forced Fruition]]: HELL YEAH DUDE LET'S FUCKING GO

@MacedWindow I love that the top card in the high synergies for Claire on #EDHRec is
@lovestha @IcatianJ might give #CardSphere another look, I heard they almost went out of business but got acquired by #EDHREC.
