My first time ever playing with paper and I did well! I went 3-1 losing to Sigarda, but beating Nekuska, Animar (goodstuff), and Wort (my buddy). Had a blast, The winning Geist list was super tuned and just crushed everyone. He went undefeated. Super nice guy though and we had a good ole' talk about metagames (online vs paper in Colorado).
P.S. Freyalise is super fun and this new "Planeswalker as your commander" mechanic is stupidly strong...

So the deck was the Commander 15 Mono green core set with about 8 substituted cards. Stuff like Craterhoof, some land switches, and Stampede. I didn't have Gaea's Cradle unfortunately, but basically it's a Ezuri elf core and then Freyalise as your commander. She actually won me a game easily because I walked into a wrath, but she continually spit out tokens and ulted to put me back in the lead. Really enjoyed touching the cards too (how dumb that may sound).

Playing with real cards makes the experience of magic better than other games to me.
Mono green is a good starting point for a competitive deck, only expensive cards are lands like cradle, port and wasteland. BG and UG fetches can be expensive also, but they are not as neccessary as playing 2-3 colors. You are right that freyalise let's you rebuild after wraths, but his -2 is really dissapointing.

It's not bad honestly, I used it once to snipe out a Skullclamp vs Animar which proved to be a winner in the end. Sure it could be better, but it's not bad. Also her ult is nuts and so easy to hit; I'm pretty sure I had a 100% winrate when I ulted in my games. The only ones I lost to were Sigarda because I had nothing to remove her, just not a great matchup for me.

usual case of what happens when hexproof is on something that by itself generates card advantage. initially unexpected, then suddenly everyone starts doing the same.

There's been a noticeable decline of Duel Commander players participating in tournaments, probably because some have shifted to standard/modern format in time for the upcoming GP Manila events (note: we'll be having DC side events there too!)

It's too difficult to navigate in this topic right now (http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/forum-1-vs-1-commander-decklists/206334-aka-french-mega-thread-rules-decks-to-beat-and).
