This petition is to call for the Commander Rules Committee to reverse the actions made to the Commander Ban List on Sept 23rd 2024. The banning of Dockside Extortionist, Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, and Nadu, Winged Wisdom. 

This format was originally designed by the players so they could play all of the cards they have spent their hard earned money on that were rotting away in a box. Not only that but cards people enjoy playing and that create a fun and unique play experience like no other format in Magic The Gathering. 

Plenty of people, myself included have multiple decks at different power levels. Some casual fun decks with wonky synergies (or lack thereof) to CEDH decks and everything in between as well. And that’s what makes this format so great!

This DRASTICALLY changes the popular and recently growing format and community of Competitive EDH (CEDH) especially. Eliminating some decks from play completely. 

Instead of banning throwing more cards on a ban list, we need to emphasize the Rule 0 discussion that can, and will, avoid most problems occurred at a table of Commander.
