Posting this full well knowing it can get into soapbox territory, but there will be numbers to back it up.

If using Scryfall, using only the is:hybrid and f:commander syntax, we have 518 cards currently: https://scryfall.com/search?q=is%3Ahybrid+f%3Acommander

With that, if we exclude cards like the original 10 Guildmages from Ravnica and their like, that have mana symbols in their textbox/casting cost that would prohibit their use in a mono color deck, or one with fewer than the maximum color identity (ex. Selesnya Guildmage, Repudiate / Replicate, Deathrite Shaman, Seedcradle Witch, Spider Manifestation, Vibrance, Waterlogged Teachings  Flip, Ajani, Sleeper Agent, Moonhold) there are 66 cards of that original 518 cards that the hybrid rules change wouldn't "help" see more play.

That is also assuming that there's an exception made for hybrid mana in the textbox for cards like Elite Headhunter & Fiend Artisan. Without that exception, that would add another 43 cards to the pile of "can't actually be used in a deck that's not the 2 or more colors the card represents."

The greater majority of the commons (178 cards total of the 518) are either trash/chaff or close enough, with only 8 of those breaking the $0.50 mark. https://scryfall.com/search?q=is%3Ahybrid+f%3Acommander+r%3Dcℴ=usd&as=grid&unique=cards

Quite a lot of hybrid cards aren't seeing play because they're not spectacular at what they do. There are corner cases like Waves of Aggression, sure. But that's not enough of a reason to rework the format to include them.

Hi SP3CTR3_chelts,

I think I might try Gaddock Teeg ; it seems good against a lot of the cEDH meta. I'm just concerned with it preventing my own spells from being cast.

As for Seedcradle Witch , I don't think its combo with only Wirewood Channeler makes it good enough. I'd rather play Sword of the Paruns if I wanted a combo piece that also is good at reusing Selvala, and I cut that a while ago for being to slow and mana intensive.

Finally, as fun as Panglacial Wurm sounds, I enjoy being friends with the judges and players at my LGS, and would like to not give them this headache of an interaction. In addition, it would only work once before people knew how to deal with it, and the free scry whenever I search my library doesn't seem worth the card slot.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Hi I have a very similar selvala deck, but i run a small amount of stax.

Gaddock Teeg i find is a great little interference piece and would definitely recommend considering it. even though i run cards that he stops, it definitely stops other people more than me and i can easily win when he is still on the battlefield.

Seedcradle Witch is my other recommendation. due to its white mana requirement it does only fully combo off with wirewood channelers but it is a good way of re using selvala a couple of times.

and lastly Panglacial Wurm ! This is the way to give your opponents a headache (and possibly a nearby judge). If you ever search your library when selvala is untapped look at the top card of your library (without changing the order as you look though) if you want it in your hand declare that you are attempting to cast Panglacial Wurm and tap for mana (including selvala). This will put the top card of your deck into your hand thanks to selvala. If you have enough mana it will be cast, if you do not as per selvalas ruling you can reverse the activation of all other mana abilities (not selvala's) and return the card attempted to be cast to its original zone (your deck) [for use later]. This is literally the best way to get a free scry. =

the rulings for both cards are here:

Hi I have a very similar selvala deck, but i run a small amount of stax (i am still debating if all of the cards i use for it are worth it). Personally i have kept in the winters orb and Armageddon as it stops people without lots of mana rocks/mana dorks

I know white mana is less common than green in a deck like this however Seedcradle Witch has done wonders for my selvala deck. It is great untapping and goes infinite with Wirewood Channeler (also it is very cheep £/$ wise). I also use Gyre Sage as another less good Marwyn, the Nurturer to make sure I hit infinite mana as it only needs 4 or 5 +1/+1 counters.

Infinite Reflection doesn't go infinite with any of the indicated cards as far as I can tell (doesn't affect tokens).

Wake Thrasher gets infinite power with Tidewater Minion and Aphetto Alchemist, (while all the cards are listed, the combo isn't)

Filigree Sages makes infinite mana with Prismatic Geoscope

Worldgorger Dragon makes infinite mana with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker (again cards are there combo isn't)

Seedcradle Witch makes infinite mana with Bloom Tender

Palinchron makes infinite mana with Mana Flare and Heartbeat of Spring

Aetherwind Basker makes infinite energy and combat steps with Lightning Runner

Reality Spasm makes infinite mana with Meletis Charlatan, Echo Mage, Reiterate, Mischievous Quanar and probably a bunch of other cards I can't remember.
