Player Dressed as Their Commander Swears Their Deck Is Casual

Muskegon, MI - A local Commander pod was joined by a player wearing a purple cloak with a matching pointy hat who sat down with a deck helmed by Alaundo the Seer

The player, Chauncey Reglime, indicated to the group that this was his first time playing the "underpowered and casual" deck with a Commander they were clearly dressed up as.

"Hey gang, I have a new deck I wanted to try out, mind if I play with you?" said Reglime as they sat down and unloaded a deckbox and playmat adorned with custom art of Alaundo. "I was on Archideckt looking for new commanders and this guy seemed cool. I've heard that green and blue are a good color pair for Commander, so I did a quick search and Alaundo popped up.

"He seems like he can do some powerful things, but I just wanted to keep it casual, it's basically a 1, y'know? I snagged a cheap copy of him, threw in some cards I had lying around, and now I want to try him out. He seems pretty good, have you guys heard of him before?"

Edgar Dowd, another player at the table, became suspicious of the early-on cosplayer.

"Yeah, instantly suspicious as soon as he walked in, actually," claimed Dowd, wearing an angry frown. "No one just comes to a casual Commander night dressed in a fancy robe for no reason, but I knew they were talking shit when I saw the sleeves, playmat, and tattoo all with Alaundo art.

"The rest of us at the table should've had a conversation beforehand and not let him sit, or just Rule 0ed Alaundo out; nothing good can come from a player dressed like a commander like him. But everyone else at the table was impressed with the quality of the cloak. Other than one very obvious trait from this Alaundo art, the guy looked exactly like him. If he shows up again there's no way I'm going to play against him, no matter what he's wearing."

Upon starting their first game, Reglime went first, mulliganed, then played an Otawara, Soaring City
