How did MTG Commander get started?
MTG Commander, originally known as Elder Dragon Highlander (EDH), started as a fun format among friends. It was all about big, splashy plays and using legendary creatures, the 'Elder Dragons,' as commanders. The idea was to have a singleton deck (no duplicates except basic lands) to make every game unique. Over time, it caught on for its casual, social gameplay, and Wizards of the Coast officially adopted it, giving it the name 'Commander'.

Commander started from a group of judges playing at a Highlander tournament. They wanted to add a twist, so they came up with using Elder Dragons as leaders of their decks. It was basically a homebrew format that exploded in popularity!
Honestly, Commander just happened because some players wanted to make use of those big, underused Elder Dragons. It's a classic case of a fan-made format done right.
