This thread feels kinda trolly.

And as for losing enjoyment in the game because of a paid commander... I think that's the biggest cop out excuse. Adapt your play style if you're losing. Regardless of whether the Commanders came out or not, play is forever evolving as people use new strats to counter old ones and people adapt to find ways to beat those strats. Rinse and repeat... The meta changes.
Your problem is insanity:
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results."
If it doesn't work, change it. Experiment with new things. Don't get all butt hurt about it and quit. And if you do decide to quit, we don't want to hear about it.
