While dockside is very powerful and popular, it's existence doesn't lead people to specifically change the way they build decks or play againstdecks that could include it. I think the issue with hullbreacher is that it is so easily abusable and was so pervasive that it actually began to warp the format. So you genuinely have less options to deal with it than in a normal game. The Hullbreacher will always wheel, so instead of a normal situation where the hullbreacher player’s opponents have a collective of 21 cards to try to deal with it, those players will only have 3 cards between them post-wheel. Plus, with hullbreacher, you need an answer in your opening hand and you have to save it for the hullbreacher, otherwise you have to pray to get lucky.Īnd final note - being multiplayer actually doesn’t matter against hullbreacher. When you’re playing power level 5-8, you can’t expect people to always have interaction, and you also can’t expect that piece of interaction to be efficient enough to stop hullbreacher. As you go further down the ranks, the efficiency of interaction drops, but Hullbreacher is still around at those lower level games. See the problem there is that players will have that high level of interaction - but that’s just in cEDH. Does it still deserve its ban? Could you see it being unbanned under the right circumstances? Would you consider any other cards being unbanned in the format? I think the card, whilst strong, does not deserve to be removed from the format. To clarify, this is not me asking for dockside to be banned. I would argue dockside is (most of the time) generally stronger than hullbreacher would be, but that hullbreacher can be abused in a way that makes the game unfun, whereas dockside can be abused to win the game (flicker for infinite mana etc). I understand it’s incredible value and can be very easily abused, but is the same not true for dockside? Personally, I believe that commander shouldn’t have banned cards, but I have no issue with there being bans and I am glad they’re willing to take care of the format. I was having this discussion with my playgroup recently about banned cards.
