Interesting thread here! I've never really thought about banning cards.
I'll admit I wasn't a fan of Homeward Path. Mostly because of the awkward interactions socially it makes when it shuts down a deck. It doesn't bother me as I usually play the creature based beat down decks, but never the less I never like seeing someone else be unable to use their own creation. (Mono blue steal creatures or reanimation)
I have started using this card in almost every deck that uses green. What I end up pulling out of my decks with it isn't any flashy but it is still really fun.
There was a player who dropped Hive Mind and for fun, I dropped a 28 point Genesis Wave.
Of all of those cards, which I think rightfully have earned a place on the list, Biorhythm would be welcomed at my groups.
We tend to have some really nasty life gain decks out there, but they don't run too many creatures. The life gain is sometimes so excessive that the majority of the decks who are red and green are merciless to it.
Thanks! I figured that is how it was. I don't really like any of those cards but there are people at my LGS who do, and for some reason its just been a heated debate.
Are all banned as Commanders, but does this mean they can't be used at all? Could we still use them in deck building, unlike Emrakul and Kosh which are in the above banned list section so they can't be used as Commander or in the deck?
Thanks for coming in, again its really nice to see the public outreach!
Long time lurker, but I am an avid Commander player and it is the only magic I play now. So I figured I would try to find a home around here since the community seems to be hopping! My LGS has casual Thursdays, and on top of that it is always open for people to come play. Twice a month though we have events that are usually 5-6 at a table, and we go for a few rounds.
Price is reasonable, 6.00 and prizes can be won. I don't take part in those too often. I did once and got absolutely destroyed by some truly high quality decks.

My games are pretty slow, so this card sees a lot of action. I suppose if you were a faster group of decks, it might be a bit slow.

It was one crazy game!

At my LGS this question has came up a lot and I figured while you are here why not try and settle it for them!
On your site it states that:
Braids, Cabal Minion
Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary
Erayo, Soratami Ascendant

Might I suggest Joven for Envy? He seems to fit the bill.
I do agree though on the Wrath being Megeta. Let us know when you build the new decks!!! I can't wait!
