The Commander format in Magic: The Gathering, once maintained by a dedicated volunteer committee, has shifted to the care of Wizards of the Coast. This change follows significant harassment faced by committee members after contentious card bans. Principal designer Gavin Verhey discussed the implications of the new Commander Brackets system for categorizing decks during a recent MagicCon event, emphasizing the community's ongoing dedication to the format's evolution amidst challenges that threaten its integrity.
"At the end of last year, the Commander Rules Committee handed the Commander format over to us. They trust us with it, [and] this is a great honor."
"People get really attached to their decks, and for more than a decade a group of volunteers called the Commander Rules Committee kept things relatively balanced between them all, making rule changes and the occasional ban of a troublesome card."
