Wanna pass the time at school, work, or home? How about playing a game that also gives you help on your commander decklist? Let's play...
The EDH/Commander Deck Help Game!
There are only four rules! Here they are:
Once someone posts a deck, everyone else gets to suggest a legal change to the deck, meaning both a card being taken out and another one to put in.
Then, the deck-poster selects his or her favorite change. At this point, the deck poster gets 1 point if they select a person. That person becomes the next deck-poster. (If they don't select a change, they don't get a point, and any person who submitted a change to that deck can become the deck-poster. First come, first served.)
Next, the selected user gets to post their deck. The previous deck-poster cannot offer changes to their selected change-poster.
The only time limit: From start to finish, the whole process should take about 24 hours. I'll definitely keep on top of things and make sure the game doesn't get stagnant.
If all the rules look good, then the game will begin at 8:00 AM EST on April 22th, and I'll post the first deck (without getting a point). The game will end at 11:59 PM on June 22th. At that point we will crown 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place!
I'm also in favor of calling it off. Unless someone else pipes up they want a deck posted, I won't be posting one. But hey, there's still nothing stopping any of us from looking at our user profiles and finding another deck to give suggestions for if you really want.

I would absolutely love to be tagged for this. It was very fun and as I said before it provides a great way for people to get attention and comments on their decks. Heck, every deck that I've now commented on since the game I've tried to use the same format to suggest cards.

This was a lot of fun. Thanks for running the game, MagicalHacker and thanks to all who played. I don't have many decks left but go ahead and tag me again if this starts back again so I can at least continue to provide suggestions.

It'll be some time until then (at least a month), so feel free to bring your same decks back :) and this time, I want to advertise it around

Of the remaining players here, do you want me to post another deck or should we just call it quits here? Original end date for the game was June 22nd, next Wednesday.
