    Great point! I'll keep thinking and see what other themes / play patterns grab my attention. Then we will see where it goes :).

    Thanks for the answer. I think it's a great point to have a few decks that you have and slowly upgrade. I was thinking about it when building it for the first time. However once you have a first version it can evolve over time as you want it too.

    Brewing after a few years away from commander

    Hello o/ I've been an off and on magic player since highschool and after going to a draft felt the urge to try building a commander deck again. After having some fun brewing I saw that a new set called Bloomburrow is going to be released shortly. I looked through the set and was blown away by how powerful some of the cards are. A lot of them just seemlingly better versions of cards that I had slotted into the deck I was brewing. A spellslinger prowess deck built around [Balmor, Battlemage Captain](https://scryfall.com/card/dmu/196/balmor-battlemage-captain). Cards that surprised me were [Stormcatcher mentor](https://scryfall.com/card/blb/234/stormcatch-mentor), [Bria, Riptide Rogue](https://scryfall.com/card/blb/379/bria-riptide-rogue), and [Kitsa, Otterball Elite](https://scryfall.com/card/blb/54/kitsa-otterball-elite). To me they just seem so much better than any of the existing prowess cards. To get to my actual question. How do you all deal with the power creep? Are people moving away from commander into other formats? Or do you just need to keep updating decks every few months with the new cards being printed?
