Posting for discussion. Personally I don't agree, aside from it being the most popular format on Arena, I think it serves as sort of a load-bearing pillar for Magic. Even if it doesn't seem popular right now I feel like removing it would have ripple effects that would hurt Magic overall

I play commander almost exclusively but don’t really disagree with any of those points. Commander also just feels more pay-to-play too these days. The other issue with draft/sealed is it takes so long, like after the draft and building a deck you’re already hour or so in.

I lowkey wish brawl wasn’t a joke. It would be nice to have a 1:1 format that was singleton and a little thematic.

@Nurgle @Evu For Singleton, there's always #CanadianHighlander - it's a lot closer to singleton Vintage than 1v1 Commander though.
