Wizards of the Coast just proposed a major change to Commander—one that could rewrite how hybrid mana works in deckbuilding. In this video, I break down why allowing hybrid mana cards to be played in decks missing one of their colors might not be the improvement it seems. From confusing color identities to concerns about Commander’s core restrictions, I’ll explore what this rule shift could mean for both casual and competitive EDH players. Whether you’re new to Magic: The Gathering or a longtime Commander veteran, this video dives deep into the community’s divided reactions, the potential design and ethical issues behind the change, and why I believe this proposal could do more harm than good. Join the discussion, share your thoughts in the comments, and help shape the future of Commander!
