The Solitaire Test: Five Turns Every Commander Deck Must Survive

Before you buy another card for your Commander deck, give it five turns by itself. This video walks through five short solo tests, each with one problem added on purpose: the opening hand, the first five turns, losing your commander, a board wipe, and closing the game. Goldfishing cannot tell you how three real opponents will vote, bluff or sequence their interaction. It can show you when your own deck is waiting on itself. Run the tests, look for the failure that repeats, change three cards at most, and run the same five tests again. Which test does your deck fail most often? Tell me in the comments, and say which turn it failed on.
