Taken from reddit:
I’ve been there for it all. I was there when people though [[Sheoldred the apocalypse]] would ruin the format. When people called for [[elesh norn mother of machines]] to be banned for some reason. The outcry that [[tergrid]] caused. I’ve seen every new powerful commander come out and immediately people are calling for the ban hammer, and I haven’t agreed with a single person.
Until MH3. [[Nadu]] is THE simic commander. Like objectively the best simic commander and most certainly a contender for best 3 cmc commander. You just cannot do better than Nadu. He is beyond broken. He’s not broken in the way that someone like [[Toxrill]] is where he’s very very strong, and will usually take over games. Nadu doesn’t usually take over games, he always does. Every time. If you let Nadu stay, which it’s very hard to keep him off board because he’s 3 cmc, in green and acts at instant speed, he will just win the game. You’d have to actively make bad decisions or draw into the single worst cards anyone has ever drawn in order for the other players to even stand a chance. It will also always be a 1v3 with Nadu, and the Nadu player doesn’t even feel the extra pressure. They just always win regardless.
I’m also not even covering the fact that his ability is a DRAG to play out and leads to minimum 10 minute turns. It’s a non deterministic combo machine, that forces you to play out every game action to see if you win, which you will, but since it’s not guaranteed you still have to do every single action 1 by 1.
If the CAG doesn’t like commanders that encourage unfun play patters or lead to a stale game, Nadu should be number 1 on the ban list.
Like I said, I do NOT like to ban cards, I really don’t. Especially commanders. But Nadu is entirely against the commander format. This card needs to go, and if it does not it will be the only commander I won’t play against because it’s not fun and I will lose.
