legendofa now I think hybrids are a funny case because they are for the most part nerfed by design. I don't think this change will be very impactful compared with other cards/design trends introduced in the last 5 years. For example I agree with what you said on the 5c legend spamming, it was a more interesting dynamic when 5c players had to take the debuff of a limited legend pool so their commander might not be as useful to them, trading a good effect in the cmd zone for a more powerful 99. Now there are very few commanders that can compete with the 5c legends you mentioned or 4c partner strats, so that's basically all that gets played at the top level (snore). What bugs me even more is how they continually print enticing valuey but generic commanders in every shard and guild and these sorta just replace all the cool old Ravnica/Alara ones that had more fun and flavorful effects (not saying every new card is a design L and every old one a W mind you).

The hybrid thing I'm still against on flavor principles, I'm kind of in the Sheldon camp there. As far as particular cards though I think mono red and white see a comeup with Waves of Aggression, maybe Everlasting Torment in burn, maybe some random Orzhov deck wants Dovescape IDFK but yeah you're right most hybrid cards are jank and probably not many will see additional play which to me is another reason it isn't worth the flavor fail of seeing all these wacky off-colors in a format that is all about color identity and cohesion.

As a casual bird deck, I have to recommend Dovescape for the very amusing shenanigans you can get up to.

I like to build some fairly toxic Commander decks, though I try to warn people if a deck dips too deeply into any of the elements I've noticed that cause toxicity. In Commander most people consider decks that take away player agency to be toxic, so that includes; -excessive permanent removal (clearing each opponent's board repeatedly, or Obliterate/Jokulhaups) -things that limit what you can do (like Rule of Law or Collector Ouphe) -excessively pushed Commanders in Casual (stuff where they throw Ward on for no reason, most of these are also the payoff and enabler in one card) -Chaos effects that turn the game on it's head (Thieves' Auction and Grip of Chaos for example) -stuff that prevents untapping (Static Orb and Winter Orb) -stealing everything strategies (flickering Agent of Treachery infinitely, Insurrection late game) -excessive discard (multiple Necrogen Mists and Bottomless Pit effects) -'win on the spot' effects that don't have an upkeep trigger (there is a few of these on the banlist, like Biorhythm and Coalition Victory) -counter everything strategies (Dovescape) -overly efficient tutoring (Zur the Enchanter *f-etch* fetching out Necropotence, and people are weirdly salty about Vampiric Tutor) -faster elimination strategies that encourage you to target a specific opponent (think anything Infect, and lower to the ground Voltron decks) -I think the last one I can think of is optional tax effects that encourage people to screw their pod and play into the Rhystic Study, if the tax is just a tax, like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben people tend not to mind as much, it's the ability to king make if you're dumb.

In 1v1 I don't think it really matters, unless you only have 1 deck to play kitchen table with just changing decks should generate enough novelty to avoid the build up of bad feelings, and if you're playing competitively it's your call if you want to play nightmarish stuff like Nadu, or something traditionally 'fun' like Aggro... only if everyone plays decks that aren't fun, more people will quit, so it's a 'tragedy of the commons' scenario too if you have a fairly small meta each player needs 'fun to play against' decks, even for 1v1.

Hello! You mentioned enchantment control, and while it might go against your current deck focus, I would be remiss to not mention Dovescape. It's a very game-altering enchantment that controls the rest of the field, but isn't for the faint-hearted. If nothing else, it's a fun addition.

Taida on Revamping Enduring Ideal

Love the concept of the deck. You could maybe add some other ways to search Enduring Ideal, I personally like Solve the Equation.

Regarding the enchantments, I quite like the interaction with Phyrexian Unlife or Nine Lives with Solemnity, as if the opponent does not have interaction for it, you essentially block them from winning. It might not be as good as Dovescape in stopping your opponent, but it has the advantage of being cheap enough mana-wise to be cast in case it got stuck in your hand.

Gaea's Cradle / Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip?

Also I want more birds. Keeper of the Nine Gales, Augury Owl, Commander Eesha, Thieving Magpie, Ledger Shredder, Emeria Angel, Wingmate Roc, Suntail Hawk, Thrummingbird, Soulcatchers' Aerie, Airborne Aid just some ideas

Enduring Ideal with Dovescape is a classic

Spitting Image is a cool card I forgot about that one.

Overall cool list, lots of interesting cards. Like I said I'd like to see more bird stuff since the deck seems to be more about flavor than being super competitive, plus low cost flyers synergize well with Derevi!

Cool deck! One of my favorites in my Oloro deck is Dovescape. Slows everything down, gives everyone a ton of chump blockers to slow down combat, and is pretty hard to remove.

Stampeding Boars {3}{RG}{RG}

Creature - Boar

Trample

Other boar creatures you control have trample.

Whenever a player casts a non-creature spell, counter that spell. If a spell is countered this way, its controller creates an X/X green boar creature token, where X is equal to that spells mana cost.

4/4

A Gruul Dovescape? Yes, indeed, and I want this to be an actual card sooo badly. As boars are such a cool creature type, create another boar tribal card.
