One point I wanted to address here:
I'm pretty sure that was in my previous post.
Completely separately from the idea of tiers and banned lists,
"Commander is [...] a casual Magic:The Gathering variant which emphasises social interactions, interesting games, and creative deckbuilding. [...] Commander is designed to promote social interaction. It is founded (and dependant) on a social contract, otherwise known as a gentleman's agreement." (EDH Rules)
When you are playing a game of Magic of any sort against some opponent(s), the game is made fun through the deck design of all the decks, not any one player. When you are playing in a local setting, it gives you the chance to compare how other people build their decks and how other people enjoy the game to how you enjoy the game. If someone is not enjoying the game in a casual format that has been fun for people in the past and centers around enjoyable social interaction, then the first thing to look at is not just their deck, it's the decks of all the players in that game.
In response to this post, I'm looking for the answers to two questions:
Do you agree or not and why?
Have you had games that you didn't enjoy because of how your own deck interacted with the game state?
There should not be responding to any posts other than this one.
If I can stop every threat of theirs, then they have denied me the fun of making relevant game play decisions.
