        If you’re even known to own a Lotus nobody will even come near you. It’s been enough to keep me safely separated from the game for decades. It’s kind of like having a nuke in your sidecar.

          I feel like if anyone in my playgroup ever got one we’d let them keep it in the deck until they get a real satisfying win from it, then either they take it out or everyone is allowed a proxy of it. Or possibly a ‘special occasion’ card like their birthday or if they’ve had a rough week and just need a win. I’ve also been known to keep some messed up cards in my side board in case someone joins our pod and they end up being an asshole, I can swap out and get them to pick up their ball and go home

            I can dig it. If somebody is being an ass, I tend to bring out this one.

            All your creatures are dead. Your dog is dead. Your cat is dead. Your mom is dead. Your friends are dead. The fleas in your underpants are dead. Everyone you ever knew is dead. You are dead. One million damage to you and everyone who looks like you.

            Rocks. Fall.

            Everyone. Dies.

              This isn’t the most powerful combo especially against multicolor decks with lots of fancy mana producers, but I’m partial to this combo in my mono green commander:

              Nobody expects green to vaporize all the islands out of a deck or whatever. Big “fuck you and the horse you rode in on” energy. That whole deck is a nonsense engine, mono green but wins without attacking (mostly direct damage or milling). A lot of people don’t know how to play against it so it is especially fun to bother cocky players with expensive decks but little experience
