So whats the deal with Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary? Ive seen him in lots of edh decks, but he shows up as banned on gatherer. Is he banned just as a general, so i can play him amongst the other 99?

Duel commander has a different banlist than the general commander rules. I'm not sure if Rofellos is legal in all formats, but some tournaments have their own banlists different from the French/EDH lists.

Rofellos is legal in duel commander/french edh. He's no longer legal in multiplayer, because they got rid of the "Banned as Commander" part of their banlist. (To make it simpler, because apparently, they think that everybody who plays EDH is dumb.)

He might be in some older EDH lists that haven't been updated, because he was banned relatively recently. It was a sad day.

You know, if you just play casually, you can always ask the group if you can use him anyway. Just don't expect them to let you do it a second time if you decide to be a jerk about it or win too easily, and carry something to swap him with if you can't get them to agree.

It was a sad and happy day cause sure refellos got banned but kokusho got unbanned in the same "stroke of the pen" but "french" he is still has banned as commander and he is on that list so french he can be in the 99

Just FYI gatherer is not the best resource for EDH/Commander rules, and bannings.

EDH

French Rules
