Like all specific life total-based cards, it should be receive errata for EDH purposes.
Ditto Serra Ascendant? No they're not going to change the literal wording because of a tabletop format. If your playgroup cares, they can 'houserule' a different life total. They won't change anything but rules/reminder texts/rarity on cards.
I know they’re extremely unlikely to, let’s just say. But I do believe it *should* be done.
Numbers in relation to 20 are not the same in relation to 40. Simple as that.
Well, I haven't tested the card yet, but I think I need to point a few things about your considerations.
While its true that felidar was designed to work in a 1v1 environment and the text is "doubled life" if you put it that way, in comander while we have double life we don't have double opponents , we have triple or cuadruple oponents so, 3-4 oponents to use removal, to attack your life total, to counter the felidar. So I remain unconvinced about it.
As a control player (and I do not say this pejoratively) I normally see that people who likes to play diferent strategies sees "unfair" or "unfun", when a control deck is in control of the table then it needs some inevitability to win, you can call that a combo or a very secure token engine or whatever lock wincon you want.
In my playgroup today we went in a discussion about 'house rules' there is a player that wants to make some changes, so far we have been playing with the standard EDH rules.
He thinks cards like Felidar sovereign should not be played, in our playgroup we have never played the card (but I was about to do it next time).
Only two members of our group have ever seen the card be played, one is the guy who wants it to be banned (he won a game with a felidar) and the other guy also played the felidar but got removed (he does not think the cat to be banable or even relevant).
I don't want to invent our own rules, the comite has the list for a reason and our experience in EDH is much much lower than those guys, so if they don't see the card ofensive as coalition victory or similar then why we will be banning it?
The guy who wants felidar banned also wants every card that says 'you win the game' to be banned, he also claims that we should not allow combos.

What do you think, is felidar unfair or not?
