Mono colored commander pre-cons were fun & good, except blue... the blue deck had a couple cool cards but overall did very little other than draw when set into a the star format with the other four mono pre-cons as its allies and opponents. It played exactly how the instruction manual explained... draw, land for turn, pass... with an occasional draw card before passing.

The intended idea was to wait out the game, look like an un-threatening target, and set fear with a full hand, one mean poker face, bluffs and social politic skills until you could find some big creatures with board changing effects. The problem was that you had very little in the way of instant speed responses and only two counters in the deck. It didnt take long for my opponents and allies to call my bluff. Response thinking, thinking, thinking pass only works so many times, especially when something big is about to happen and you have full hand and plenty of manna. Then I was a sitting duck as each draw card only found me more draw cards but little in the way of actual defenses to my opponents ever growing board states.

Pit up against green and red as my opponent colors with very little responses at instant speed other more drawing... I drew myself into oblivion while they beat me in the head with their massive board states and fun shenanigans. This was not the blue I know! So I had to correct the deck and show them how it should have went.

I chose blue cards to keep in theme and play style of the original and its manual that would be conducive to a multiplayer game. There are several whopper $$ cards in the deck I chose to use but you can easily swap them out for the new cards released with the pre-con deck. I kept with the limitation of three commander options restriction MTG uses when building their pre-cons. I used the maybe board to list the new commander cards introduced in the pre-con.

I kept with the feel & theme but gave blue back its instant speed responses with an end game plan to win, fitting of a deck named Peer Through Time!" Enjoy my How It Should Have Been (HISHB) rendition and leave comments :-)
