60 card formats just aren't worth it these days because they severely lack the kind of variance that a format like EDH / Commander provides. In a 60 card format you're guaranteed to make the exact same plays as If going on auto-pilot because you have 3-4 of playsets of the same card to dramatically increase your odds of winning. In 99 card Singleton no play is the exact same unless you tutor. It seems as though the lines are starting to become more blurred on this the more functionally identical cards are printed with different names in order to make these decks more consistent than they should be.
I read this point a lot, but is the issue really the 60 cards or the non-Singleton nature? Because one often ignored way EDH is prohibitive is by deck-size. I like playing 60 card Singleton variants. It's perfect for casual junk decks, especially considerig I often play with beginners with slim collections that are not redundant enough for 4-ofs and not extensive enough for 100-card decks.
And beside that, there is value to consisency. If you are a Tammy/Johnny that wants the chance to see their combo go off more regularly, you'll have better chances with a smaller deck with built-in redundancy.
I second thepoint that deck diversity is a larger issue, which is a problem with any format that gets "solved" by pros. Even adapting metagames can turn into rotating Rock-Paper-Scissors.
Yeah, a cEDH affectionado calling the EDH Rules Committee out of touch because the RC looks at EDH without a focus on cEDH would very well have not much of a standing - you play your own separate format, you better take care of your own separate ban list. If you don't, then that's your decision to implicitly accept that other banlist and the decisions that were made with another format in mind.
That said Sunflower MTG doesn't mention cEDH. But with how different the format is, it should have its own banlist easily.
I mean "for the people who do not Rule 0, they just lost their favorite or most fun commander" is also basically an admission that the people who now "just suffered a wrongful, tasteless ban" are suffering due to their own choice to pick and choose which rules they follow. They choose tofollow the banlist, but choose to ignore Rule 0. If they were consistent between following either both or neither, there would beno issue, correct?

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Because the RC governs the rules for EDH/Commander. Brawl is a WotC-governed format. Consistency is not guaranteed.
