And this is different from every deck playing Sol Ring how? Singleton decks are variable in their very nature. Someone can netdeck a list and it's still going to be variable because of how Commander inherently works. I mean, are you going to deny someone playing a cutthroat Commander just because it's not wacky enough? That's what politics are for. Even a cutthroat deck can lose when everyone at the table rally against it.
1. You're assuming that every deck I play with and against has Sol Ring. They don't. (And frankly the card should be banned IMO, but what can you do)
However, including one staple card in a kitchen table format is much different than piloting an entire "best build" the way you would in a competitive setting. I'm the kind of player that replaces cards when they're too strong (for example, I took Cyclonic Rift out of my Kruphix deck because the loop was too difficult to escape late game).
2. I'm not denying anyone of anything, nor would I. I don't limit what gets played at the table and I'm well aware of the politics of hating out a deck. I've been on both ends of it, as I would imagine most players have been. Are you mistaking my personal deck/format preference for the law of the land when I play? That's not how it goes, I assure you. The group I play with just happens to play the same way. Other groups have other preferences, and if I came there with my decks, I'd deal with how things are.
What I was taking issue with was the fact that someone said they didn't like normal Commander because the games end on turn 1 with some kind of crazy 5-color super deck, as though that's how all Commander games go.
3. You're right in saying that a 100-card list is going to have a level of built in diversity. But there definitely are builds that do unfair things and can do them pretty consistently. I stay away from those decks. The group I play with does as well. I put "bad" cards in often because they're fun. What I enjoy about Commander is that there doesn't need to be a race to be "the best" if you don't want there to be. There's an incredible amount of diversity if everyone is more concerned with fun than winning.
