mtg commander bear deck Box EDH Bear Deck - Commander

Phyrexian Altar is the other altar responsible for most of the shenanigans in the format

It doesnt have the strength or focus of a one or even two-color deck, but also doesnt have the bountiful mana ramp and fixing of green

In the early game, it's actually the mages that are better, as even the weakest spells are relatively powerful for this point in the game (especially if you made sure the generics you turned into mages have high Faith) and their charge times aren't yet an issue, whereas the early-accessible physical jobs are slow, immobile, and/or can't really do much but bonk enemies one at a time for mediocre damage

Its a format about choice and promotes self-expression through your deck and commander like no other format in Magic
