I got to play my first LGS pods last night, got back into the game after ~20 years recently and have just been playing kitchen table magic with a few friends over the past month. Me and one other from my home games went to a casual commander night. Game 1 - Three players, I was running a lightly upgraded Faldorn/Exit from Exile deck playing against a Arahbo cat tribal deck and a Jareth mono white token deck. Exile cards were treating me right and I had my way with the board. Some rules confusion when the Jareth player cast Valor Made Real on their Jareth and blocked my all out attack, and we gave the 11 damage to each blocked creature rather than distributing the power, wiping my board. I didn’t think that was right but didn’t want the game to break down into rules lawyering so we kept it moving. I was able to rebound and take the game, then looked up the rules on blocking multiple attackers to add a little insult to injury  Game 2: Arahbo returned and the Jareth player had another mono white deck, cannot remember their commander but their deck was table politics themed (you and another player draw cards, etc) with a new player rolling with the Gisa and Geralf Grave Danger precon, the player was a week into MTG and seemed like it was the deck out of box. I used my Zangief Voltron deck but used Kresh instead of Zangief on a whim, throwing Gief into the 99. Kresh actually worked pretty well as an alternate commander and he got pumped up to about 27/27 before taken off the board. Ultimately scooped first when the Arahbo and mono white players 2v1ed me while the precon player Was There. Wanted to find a third game but was too hungry and left, but had a great time! I was worried that my decks would go up against some of the nasty cards you read horror stories about but it was a real good experience, and just learning about different types of decks and how they work was a great reason to go out and see what people are playing outside of the kitchen table. Can’t wait to do it again!

I play the Urza precon when I play stock precon games, it’s an easy one to pilot (play a buncha artifacts and Urza’s tokens get bigger) and the full deck of retro frame card art is an eye catcher
