Like it's the most annoying format every where 2 year olds always complain about your deck and don't actually want you to win but just shuffle cards around for no reason and if you ever win they all just complain that you are playing a good deck (which is the entire point of the game), because all the annoying salty people don't let others play what they want there is no interaction and the boards just fill up with 90 creatures and stupid 5 card combos that shouldn't be playable and it's a huge mess where no one even understands what's going on, like how is this the most popular mtg format

Yeah I also miss the times when 60 card casual/standard/extended decks were the norm. Today you go to a LGS and everyone just plays Commander, which is fine, but is is sad to me that nobody plays their 60 card decks anymore, like for example a fair elf deck. Because of this, I am forced to build Commander decks myself and my 60-cards non-competitive decks became a little bit useless. A lot of those decks are very cool, that's why I also dislike Commander a bit.

For Commander, just build Tax and Stax and live off the tears and anger of your enemies. The less fun they have, the more I do. Nothing better than jamming a winter orb on the table and see 3 grown men REEEE :)

What a warped view to have. It sounds like you're projecting a small number of negative experiences onto the whole community who plays by just another set of rules.
