I have realized I'm against bans in commander. I think players can and do take care of cards they do not like by just not playing them... fixing the issue that these bans are trying to fix.

I would like to have Commander Vintage which would share the ban list with vintage. Then have just Commander which has its own strict ban last(as it currently exists).

@nexguy @MysticKetchup That is valid for insular play groups, it doesn't work at conventions. And only partially works at stores, they can be a mixed bag.

Then I'd say the convention or store can choose "commander ban list" or "vintage commander ban list". Their choice. Everyone's choice. Then people won't lose cards because they can still play them in vintage commander.

I feel commander is popular enough to have two supported ban lists. Would take some pressure off rule 0 conversations.
