Very nice trans gal working the counter at the weed store today. She saw my ID and very quickly asked if I had a preferred name and also complimented my top. Truly a blessed 4/20

So I was talking with @oxfordhaze about how the princess/maid dynamic runs into an issue when you start talking about combat maids...because the princess/knight dynamic already exists for that. But there's also this maid assassin thing that happens, and the problem with THAT is that if a princess is competent and assertive enough to be ordering assassinations, she's not the whiny selfish bratty princess, she's just a scheming queen and it's really getting closer to the handler/hound dynamic.
So really if you want all this in the anachronistic castle setting you really need a polycule of princess, vizier, maid, and knight to have everything properly balanced.
We then realized another problem: You gotta have a jester in this kind of setting. You jest gotta. So the polycule is actually princess, vizier, maid, knight, and jester.
And that's great! Wonderful! I hope those ladies all have a good gay time together. Until. Until! It's time to eat. Maids perform menial tasks, sure, but they're not artisans. There's a whole artisan class in these kinds of settings! At this class, to suit the expectations of a princess, you need an artisan chef. So princess, vizier, maid, knight, jester, and chef.
Fuck, and we need an armorer for the knight and a tailor for the clothes. A maid might repair clothing, but she isn't making it, especially not to the quality demanded of a princess or a vizier. So this polycule has a princess, a vizier, a maid, a knight, a jester, a chef, an armorer, and a tailor.
Problem. Because despite the anachronisms, there really isn't a separation of church and state in these settings either. Assuming the princess or vizier aren't serving any religious function, you need to actually have a princess, vizier, maid, knight, jester, chef, armorer, tailor, and rabbi (because this is a fictional setting and we don't have to cede Christian hegemony). Whew. That's it. That's all. Probably.
Besides the situationships with the peasants. And the traveling minstrel comet.
Ah fuck but is the flavor of vizier a sorcerer, a bureaucrat, or a diplomat because if it's not a bureaucrat then we probably need to go all the way back and have a princess and a vizier and a maid and a knight and a bureaucrat who handles things like taxes and lawkeeping and then continue on with the jester and chef and armorer and tailor and rabbi and situationship peasantry and traveling minstrel comet.

"Stop being mean to my girlfriend!! ):"
Hey Mark, I'm a bit confused on the actual idealogies of the five colors. Is there any way I could get a quick summary of them?
White seeks peace through structure.Blue seeks perfection through knowledge.Black seeks power through ruthlessness.Red seeks freedom through action.Green seeks acceptance through growth.
Breathing New Life into Magic Cards
What do you do with your cards when they don't have a home in a commander deck?
Make a new format variant out of them!
(well ok, you don't make a revolutionary format from scratch, you steal take inspiration from the paths trodden before)
My name's Cole, I've been a content creator for Commander and EDH for the last 3 or so years. I've done two podcasts, the Uncommon Commander and the recently started Hero's Blade Vibe Check podcasts that's available in many places!
One of my biggest grievances as Commander player is that 100 cards never seems to be enough for my decks. 36-41% of the deck is dedicated to a combination of a commander(s) and lands. That leaves you with approximately 60~ cards to mess around with, cut, fiddle with, and optimize, depending on your intent and level of investment.
For people who've had lifelong commander decks, that usually means having a Ship of Theseus situation: more cards come out that are circumstantially or objectively better than previous versions. For whatever your end goal is, you add and remove cards for your needs and eventually may even change the commander!
EDH/Commander is not the same beast it was a decade ago, let alone when the original premise was in its infancy. Decks today are much better than what was around in 2011, and sub formats like PrEDH are an example of the blatant power creep that we players have had to deal with.
As I've evolved as a player and brewer, I've made my peace with having to make compromises with deck building, but there's always that small feeling in the back of my head that says "these cards need a home, and it's not just another commander deck, or selling/trading these off". Duplicating a commander deck for the sake of scratching that itch isn't enough.
I needed to do something. The thought came to me at 5am.
(Well ok, it stewed for a long time before inspiration struck upon waking up at 5am because one of my cats is insanely regimented and wanted breakfast ASAP, so after getting bitten on my arm, lightning strike and I got to work)
Making Killer Queen - A Compromise
So what is Killer Queen, and what does this have to do with finding home for cards?
I've trapped myself as a Magic player. As I stopped playing Standard back in 2014 and more or less dedicated myself to Commander brewing, a lot of skills have fallen to the wayside. I'm terrible at Limited Draft, subpar at Sealed, and have radically changed my viewpoint of 1v1 magic. Brewing a 360 card cube felt impossible to do myself.
So how do I consolidate these feelings and viewpoints? I make a single deck that everyone can play from like the fan format Dandan (aka Forgetful Fish), use only 3 colors (Mardu/Red-white-black), give everyone the same Commander (Queen Marchesa) and make it singleton.
Boom. Killer Queen, aka Marchesa Dandan, aka MarDanDan!
One 155 card deck (plus 2-4 copies of Queen Marchesa) that everyone plays from, one shares graveyard and a bunch of different ways to set up or influence your opponents!
It's been a recent project I've been working on since October 2023, and while games are far and between, it's been my personal answer to my issues of cards being shuffled around decks with no real home, but still having commander-like gameplay that appeals to people in general. Public sentiment so hard? It's a neat way to play Magic, and it's something that can be brought along to game nights in case people want a change of pace.
It's been a great exercise, and makes me go back to my original point: there's a lot of ways to play Magic. There's a lot of ways to engage with Magic that isn't just constructed formats, and you can do it on a budget (or using online creatures like Moxfield's playtest feature in tandem with a digital camera program like OBS).
People are frustrated with the direction Magic: the Gathering is headed, and I encourage everyone to healthily engage with this game we've all come to love, or love to hate, in a way that is satisfying to you.
Get back to your kitchen table routes if you have to. Do a deep dive on Scryfall, whatever it takes for you to enjoy this game in peace.
