I like the EDH concept but i like building 60 card decks better. Especially ones i couldn't build before.Like now i was able to make a goblin, knight, soldier deck respectively. EDH decks are harder to builder you have to make sure the majority of deck works with just one of each card and throw in filler type cards. I bought an EDH though and also in the process of making one. If there is one good thing about EDH is using cards you would never think fo using before.

I actually prefer EDH.I was ALWAYS, and still am, one of those guys that likes surprises in my deck.
I absolutely despise the monotony of playing a bunch of 4-ofs in my 60 card decks, even in Standard, and thus play a few 2 ofs and a couple 1 ofs, because I like games to be different everytime, much like Sealed, where you only have 2-3 of a card tops. Thus, EDH is perfect. Every game is different. Seriously. 100 cards, and 1 of each card, the spontaneity and "newness" of every game played is what draws me to EDH, and ultimately, to MTG. __________________

One thing I like about EDH is that those interesting, powerful cards that fill up your trade binders because they're too high of a casting cost are suddenly playable in EDH multiplayer. Its fun to see big spells resolve that screw over everybody. __________________

The only problem about edh is that some cards like spellweaver helix and haunting echoes are suddenly useless. However, I play edh and love the format, and as previously said it does address the main problem of 60 card casual, which is power level differences. Of course they still exist in EDH, but the fact that it's usually played very casually and multiplayer means games are usually less lopsided

If casual was playing dead, at some point it would realize that either it's safe to stop, or that the joke wasn't funny.or Yes, casual is playing dead.

Locally EDH is a dead format.No one shows up for any gatherings nor plays it. Some may have decks but the generally go somewhere else to play it. You'd think that since casual players are the norm here that it would be popular but nope. Go a bit north to the Eternal (T1/1.5) area and you got players. Go a bit south to Constructed play area (T2/X) and you got players. Casual Play is the norm and standard to which everyone plays. Minor regard to the legacy/vintage banned/restricted list. __________________
