But this week we’re going to be looking at a general that was so high profile only a year ago that it required banning in Modern. In the past, I’ve used the format as a vehicle to investigate generals that have seen very little spotlight within constructed formats. That means exposure to cards you’ve never seen before, both during deck construction and games.

Decks rely on draft fodder and the kinds of rares that normally take up space in a trade binder.

Dollar General is an interesting variant of Commander, because the decks often have the power level of a preconstructed deck with a personalized touch.

With this year’s Commander product finally out, my thoughts turn to the kinds of decks that are going to create a fun experience for people who haven’t gotten into Commander. The additional layer being that every card comprising a 100-card deck must cost less than a US dollar. A variant of the Commander format, itself a casual multiplayer variant format for Magic: the Gathering with specific rules centered around a legendary creature called a General.
