This new rules screws A LOT of cards that I play, it's pretty reckless that they would do this.
So you're saying you play almost nothing except blue and white?

It's a pretty BETA move, most of the people who play this game know the risks of running abusive cards/generals. You're gonna get your dude tucked or you're gonna get hated out. It's pretty simple.
I've had completely innocuous generals immediately tucked in a game. If you think people reserve it for abusive generals, you're deluding yourself.

This rule takes away one of the things I thought was really awesome and special about commander.
If this one
loophole to the Commander rules is what you found "awesome and special" about the format, you're playing it wrong.

If you really can't deal with a tucked general you need to build a better deck, play a different format, or find a different game.
Who said it can't be dealt with? You're missing the point - the whole tuck aspect is a loophole in the rules. When the rules were formed there were few/no options to tuck generals - this update just closes that loophole and makes the rules once again work as intended.

It seems like the majority of people talking about the rule change online do not agree with it,
I've been playing this game since Beta, and I'll tell you one true thing: Every single change I have ever seen to Magic has had a massive outcry against it, and within six months 99% of the game's population doesn't know why they were so against it. Ban/restricted list, reprinted cards, set rotation, removal of interrupts, stack and death timing changes, Legend rule changes, damage no longer on the stack, mana burn going away, Planeswalker/Legend rule changes again, etc. etc.
The simple fact of the matter is that people fear change, and act like every change to something they like is an affront upon all that is decent ... and then promptly move on with their lives and forget it was ever any other way.
