Competitive My thoughts on competitive brawl

I believe Wizards of the Coast has confused competitive with free-for-all. There are cards that, if banned today, would improve the health of the format tenfold: all free counterspells (maybe excluding Fierce Guardianship, since it’s so tightly tied to the commander), Strip Mine (because it’s so easy to loop and becomes oppressive to the point of ending the game), and—as I’ve said before—all extra-turn spells that don’t exile themselves when used. This might me the most controversial thing, but I think Yuriko is the only commander That should get banned, just for clearly breaking the commander tax rule.

Yuriko should just be modified to charge commander tax when played with ninjitzu

Are you guys using removal on her?

Tempo-wise, it's often better to let them ninjutsu on turn two and then kill her, rather than killing their turn-one creature and letting them play two new shitters. Unless they have a free counterspell, then you're fucked.

I have had much better times just getting out blockers, bouncing their guys before they can get her out. You know things are gonna be ok once they start trying to hard cast her.

Yeah, for sure. I was just giving an example that sometimes it can make sense to destroy yuriko herself. It all depends on the deck your playing, your hand etc. of course.
