{"ops":[{"insert":"I build Commander decks with a focus on synergy, theme, and interactive gameplay rather than raw efficiency. Most decks are built from a shared card library within our playgroup, so creativity and smart use of available pieces matter more than buying perfect staples. I enjoy commanders that do something interesting, scale well in multiplayer, and create memorable board states.\n\nOur group plays primarily in person and leans into social Commander—4-player free-for-all, Star, 2-Headed Giant, and custom formats. Politics, table balance, and letting decks “do their thing” are valued more than fast wins. Power levels are intentional and tuned for fun, replayable games where everyone gets to participate.\n\nI buy one prerelease I draft with and one bundle each set. Along with some secret lairs. I upgrade my deck from those or from things I pick up from friends. I haven’t bought any singles.\n\n"}]}
