Alms Collector exists, but I haven't heard it universally hated.
True. But I'd guess because it isn't played as much or as un-fun. It isn't as hard a lock because they still get a card. It isn't in the color of wheels. It doesn't ramp its controller by 21 treasures to cast their full grip after a wheel. It's less likely to be backed up with counterspells.
For all those saying it should have been white - that would only be true if you got treasure when they drew cards, but the fact that it's a replacement effect that eliminates the draw altogether is not only what got it banned, but also what makes it less white. Treasure and denial together is too much. One or the other would probably have been fine.
Honestly, where commander is right now makes me want to see the rules committee experiment with some unbannings. Specifically I’d like to see cards banned a long time ago get another shot in the current meta like primeval titan. Yes it can tutor out dark depths & thespian stage, but right now I don’t think a 20/20 flying indestructible token is as scary as it use to be considering that a large portion of the most competitive decks rely on some kind of instant win combo and simply don’t care about a token that takes 6 turns to kill 3 opponents.
Once again proving that the RC is wildly out of touch and shouldn't be trusted with managing the health of the format. Sad day
Hard disagree. Hullbreacher ruined casual games of Commander, especially when played with wheels, but even when not. Some other player would play extra card draw spells or a wheel, and the joker with a Hullbreacher would flash it in. Sure, it's the optimal play, but it was boring and required no skill. It made the game devolve. I don't always agree with the RC, but I stand by this ban 100%.
Can't say I'm sad to see Hullbreacher banned. It was miserable every time someone dropped one, and the entire game devolved into trying to kill and/or steal the Hullbreacher. And it made games far more painful than the ones years ago that devolved around Prophet of Kruphix because the Hullbreacher/Wheel playstyle took away our resources to play the game in addition to accelerating the controller.
