One interesting thing about #CMRLegends is that the line for a common in a Commander format is a bit different. We did what was right for draft, and that created some unusual commons! Since I've been asked some questions, I want to take a moment to chat about Pauper.

First, on one particular downshift! Red and black are the colors of mass damage to creatures. However, in Pauper, the most damage red can deal with a playable sweeper is 1! Having one in red could open up control strategies to red, and also plays well with bigger red creatures.
So in #CMRLegends, we were going to need some common sweepers and this seemed like the perfect spot. I handed off Steam Blast at common, and that got changed to another card when Pirates were added. Long-term, I am excited to have this card in the format and for what it might do!
Hi everyone! I thought it would be worth taking a moment to talk about white in Commander. There's no way I can do this topic justice in a single tweet, so it's going to be a long thread - I encourage you to read the whole thing. :) Let's get started!

So to set the ground floor to begin: we recognize that white needs some Commander love. More then ever, and especially in the past 9ish months, this has been a very front-of-mind issue. Commander is a format built upon ramp and card draw - and these are both weaknesses of white.
We aren't blind to the issue, and we don't think what we have is enough. We've had many great discussions about how to get white what it needs. I want to give a big shout out to @SixthComma, who as white on the Council of Colors, has been doing a great job leading the charge.
