I'm using Ultimate Guard Boulders for both my Commander and Legacy decks.
All were double sleeved with Dragonshields until I switched to Eclipse for feel (again double sleeved). I notice there is a bit of room with the Eclipse vs Dragonshield.
I highly suggest the PlayEDH discord. It allows you to Play EDH over the internet via Webcam (paper Magic) and the Discord is broken up into different power levels to ensure you get a good game.
On top of that the Discord is a great community of people.
I can't read his articles anymore, there just seems to be a form of Elististism that really urks me. Maybe that's the wrong word but it's how it comes off.
The most important thing you need to do when sitting down for a game of EDH with either your existing group or a new one is discuss power level. I learned this the hard way when I spiked and built decks like Doomsday Zur, Chain Veil Teferi and Breakfast Hulk. My play group was a bit upset with them so I put those decks away and play more toned down stuff (I rarely get to play my cEDH decks these days because my cEDH group went in other directions).
This is not to say I don't play combo decks or tuned decks as all of my decks are in the 75% range but so is the rest of my group and we have fun interactive games because of it.
Also you have to play interaction and answers in your deck. Counterspells, removal for various permanents, graveyard hate, etc. Something can usually be dealt with on the stack or when it hits the board (outside of an PW emblem).
very nice combo, heh, since I can't play those infinite combo wins I'd include some basic lands and exlude things like laboratory maniac and other combo pieces, but Hermit Druid on its own is still very viable card here for dredging and getting you a land in hand, yes ?
Hermit Druid isn't that great outside of the combo as you'd only get 1 Zombie off his activation with Sidisi on the field. He's only worth it in an all in combo list.
Path to Discovery is great - I used it previously in a former version of my deck but after took it out for Food Chain.
A Pre Con can be a decent starting point to a deck/collection when getting back into the game.
Depending on the LGS and people playing there, it could be under powered. However most people will bring multiple power level decks with them. Just make it known it's a pre con with no changes.
I have an Aminatou deck that I'm slowly tweaking, it's fun.

So far it's a blast but I need to get a couple more games in first.
