  That Maxx "C" rant followed by seeing Rhystic Study was truly something poetic.

  Rarran is a stax player in the making given how fondly he talked about winter orb and rhystic studies crushing the opponents will to live

  I don't think it was obvious to Rarran that a 5-color commander satisfies the "creature of each color" requirement of Coalition Victory, since the wording suggests having 5 creatures.

  Funny that three of the banned cards which rarran got wrong were just unbanned a couple months ago (Braids, Gifts Ungiven and Coalition Victory)

  By the way, the moment Rarran&apos;s cat started playing in the background i stopped paying attention to anything else

  Saying Winter Orb sounds fun is the most HS Warlock-main take Rarran has ever had.

  I think something that might have helped Rarran understand why Winter Orb is so unfun to play against would have been to show him one of the ways to break the symmetry of it (or even just the oracle text, which includes the untapped condition). Because I&apos;ve never seen a Winter Orb deck that plays it &quot;fairly&quot;, they always break the symmetry (or tab it) in some way, turning it into one of the worst stax pieces in the game to play against.

  I definitely understand the Golos argument. when I played Magic as a kid my thing was this Solar Eruption deck, colorless artifacts that got stronger if you paid diverse mana. <br>So a few years later my friends hit me up about commander and my first thought is &quot;damn lets commandify that old solar deck.&quot;<br>But when I look up rainbow decks, its all Golos. Sure, I didnt have to play him , but it immediately made sense to me why he was the best card for the job. Even the most specific artifact buffing cards just dont compare to those general effects. &nbsp;And what happens if you take Golos? You start to think &quot;I should put more 10+ cost spells &nbsp;into this deck, dont wanna exile a 1 cost&quot;. I think its that combo of having a very desirable universal effect AND warping your decklist in ways you might not want that makes him so problematic.

  Maxx &quot;C&quot; talk into Rhystic Study is perfect

  Ironically, &quot;I just lost to this card, BANNED!&quot; was how the original EDH banlist began.
