This sums up how I feel about Commander staples in general. Games have become predictable because the fun, goofy cards just don’t win games. Predictable doesn’t kill the format for me, but it is a bummer.

A note to fellow MTG brewers - Don't give up. Just because you lost a game doesn't mean your deck is bad, it just means you didn't draw the cards you needed in that matchup. Keep trying, and keep innovating. You rock.
