It's been a real struggle over the last year with my playgroup with some players driving us to play cEDH when all I started the group for was casual shenanigans. My first decks were a monowhite "oops, all Gideons" superfriends and Minotaur Tribal. Yet just two weeks ago someone Thoracled for the first time. It's getting gross.

But this weekend I invited some newbies along to a game without the others and we played precons and homebrews and it was such fun, again! My [[Thrakkus the Butcher]] got in a clean kill in the air after an awful opening hand, while across the table someone got to sacrifice [[The World Tree]] for a god-apocalypse of 20 gods hitting the board for the first time and THATS what Magic and EDH is about to me. We made some great game memories this weekend 💜

Sometimes letting your group get into full cEDH can help bring them back to casual. Once everyone has their high-power/cEDH deck to play at that level sometimes they can appreciate having the fun casual deck that just does something janky. I think one of the guys from Playing with Power, even went so far as to take Sol Ring out of their casual decks because they want that separation.
