So, I'm sure some of you have heard that theres going to be a casual commander event at scgcon and I'm assuming that the event is going to extend to most wpn stores. It's a casual event with factions and is suppose to have some sort of story component to go with it that's effected by in game choices.

Does anyone have any other info? Is this a team event? Just how casual is this suppose to be? - I'm assuming that part will be store dependent but are there going to be objectives? Are there prizes for doing certain things?

What type of deck should I play? (Would like opinions from the more casual minded - though keep in mind I'd still like to win or put up a good fight) My loving partner told me she is forbidding me from bringing my TNT 98% tier 0 deck (it's missing Timetwister and Imperial Seal - still it'd likely be a pub stomp so I've been mulling over playing Edric, Spymaster of Trest or Selvala, Explorer Returned both can get a tad degenerate if left alone but they both teeter in that tier 2.5 range depending on build; though I figure their benefits are for the most part symmetrical and the main challenge is breaking parity. Though I'm open to suggestions barring tribal I'd like to know as a casual which of those would tilt you less. Edric is a tempo turns build and selvala would be a twiddle build aimed at milling our opponents and looping Green Sun's Zenith I may include Aetherflux Reservoir because zapping people seems kinda casual but I'm not sure

I just want my promos but I don't want to ruin the gaming experience of players entering an event for the 1st time; especially if theres nothing up for grabs.

1. Why not bring the Tier 0 deck. If you find someone on a similar power level, then you have that option to play and not get stomped yourself. Better to bring and not need than need and not have. I assume its a carrying issue?
2. Wouldn't it be best to give us your decklists that you have or are you trying to build something new entirely? If the latter, I would go for Yawgmoth Thran Physician or perhaps Azusa lost but seeking? As for dual color, I've always been a fan of Xenagos, G-d of revels, but that unfortunately is not within the Tier 2.5 range sadly.
3. If you go, I hope you have fun. Always a pleasure to see your username. I hope you are doing well, happy gaming!

1) it's more of a I don't want to have to keep track of it issue. I can store it in my bag but at an event with larger groups I tend to only bring one deck + trades. With larger events theres more of a chance of randoms and theft.

2) I suppose you're right but I'd actually need to put them back together and input the builds - I may do it if I get some free time. My collection is a bit discombobulated at the moment due to a recent move lol. I do like Yawg and have seen some really cool builds with him. I like azusa in the 99 but as a commander she feels a tad lackluster with all the options green has now. Xenagos would be way out of my normal combo/control/tempo bs I'm usually on so that could be fun

3) and thank you! I'm around but my activity has been lacking. Glad to see you're still around too.
