I kinda liked the fact that there was an different governing body for commander that did not hat the conflict of interest of WotC, which appearently needs to sqeeze the most money possible out of their game. Sad to see this go.

I think this was the most important part of why Commander grew so big in the first place. Having WoTC/Hasbro decidedly NOT involved in the governing of the format was what allowed it to become and stay fun.

@mike @blubfisch
I feel the same, though I do think it's correct for them to step in to create a shield if the community is going to be garbage like this. *sigh* This is why we can't have nice things
