Often times people say their life total is a resource in commander, well I don't completely agree with that statement. I 60 card MTG Standard, or MTG modern, it makes sense that your life total be used sparingly and as a way to get you closer to a win. However in commander, specifically casual EDH, the phrase is often misused in order justify taking a bit more damage that often is necessary. Casual Commander games should be nothing but healthy games to stay ready for the big swings that end games in a single turn. Life totals in EDH need to be as healthy as possible so you can outlast the rest of your competition! Good luck out there in your next Commander games!
