Have you played commander versions of other casual formats (Planechase/Archenemy/2HG/Emperor/etc.)? How has it worked out for you?

Planechase is just silly in EDH. Some of the planes just totally buttfuck entire games out of nowhere. Would not recommend but I would also highly recommend.

Planechase is fun.
2hg is meh.
Archenemy isn't really fun.
Emperor is trying too hard.

>How has it worked out for you?
i had fun with choas (theres an app on the android store) and planechase
archenemy and 2HG both pretty much require people to not try to go infinite
emperor sounds fucking cancerous

I've played Planechase before, and Emperor and Secret Partners for 6 player games. From experience, Planechase usually ends up either doing absolutely nothing, or it entirely warps the game and gives 1 player a HUGE advantage. I can't say I'm a fan of Emperor, it usually ends up with a combo player stuck in the middle and makes for some really unfun games.
I like Secret Partners for 6 pods though, makes things more interesting and adds another political and bluffing element to the game. Our group has been trying out the rule of "if you kill your partner, you die" and that's been interesting because it's preventing people from just going ham and killing everyone and being like "oh lol you were my partner? Don't worry you still won!"

Tried to improve this. Do I have chances in a multiplayer game?

needs significantly less equipment and significantly more draw power
no point in being able to play multiple cards a turn if you only ever have one land in hand any given turn

Can straight boros aggro work in edh?
Alot of people say it's shite, but i've drafted a boros attacking deck that likes killing people (but also just kills you sometimes with kiki jiki/ splinter twin + zealous conscripts)

here's a rough draft

>Thread question
Yes at my lgs we played a 16 person game of planechase. It was fun but we ended up on the plane that doubles damage and the dude to the left of me dropped nekusar then passed. The next two dudes thought it would be a great idea to drop wheel of fortune and it put everyone at 12 life. The selvala girl ended up comboing off a next turn but I would do it again in a heartbeat
