The guy is full of shit, this absolutely didn't happen the way it's being described.

This thing you posted suggests Phil will live forever and is an immortal. I'm just saying that's not the whole story.

No, no, no... That elixir of life extends his life by 6 years (iirc its six, could be seven?). He gets it yearly.

He's got some time banked but he isn't immortal.

Spent a year living in Punxsutawney, learned the lore.

Edit - it's 7 years, not 6. Just Google it.

Don't jinx it.

Wait... You're telling me there are places where I can open a restaurant and only have 20 or so other restaurants to compete against? What? That's wild.

Actually Black Lotus isn't really all that good in a format where you only run one in your 100 card deck. Sure, it's awesome if you get it in your starting/first few draws but if you get it mid-late game you're probably not hurting for mana.

Now a standard game of magic where you're playing a 60 card deck and can run 4 copies... Your odds of drawing and taking advantage of it early are pretty damn good so it's quite powerful.

But unless you can use it as a combo piece or something it's cool rather than good in commander (not that it's bad, it just isn't crazy).
