Drawing cards wins games... until it doesn't.
Commander players love card advantage, but there's a point where more options become a liability instead of a strength.
This is Choice Overload, a psychological phenomenon where having too many options makes decision-making slower and less effective.
Sometimes the player with five cards wins because they know exactly what matters.
Sometimes the player with fifteen loses because they can't decide.
What's the biggest hand size you've ever had in Commander? And did it actually help you... or make the turn harder?
