Fuck that commander firegiant shit. Yeah ok 100 card one of every card decks are so much more accessible than a classic 60 card deck.

*shrug* If you're like me and you buy packs you'll often have just one or two copies of lots of rares. In standard Magic that's not enough because you want four of everything, but in commander you just need one, so in that sense it is more accessible.
But that's not the great thing about the format: the great thing is the lack of predictability. In standard Magic you can have four of a card in a sixty card deck, which makes it very likely that you'll draw that card. If you throw in two similar cards (with four of each) you are all but guaranteed to see one of them, which makes all sorts of broken combos easy to achieve.
In commander even if you find five different cards that do the same thing you still have only a five in a hundred chance of drawing even one of them in any given draw. It completely changes the environment and moves the focus from building decks with predictable combos to building decks with good synergy, but with a million different ways they can be played.
I have heard great things about Hearthstone though.
