While card bans have become rarer since the introduction of rebalances, they still occur
PrintMTG, for example, sells individual Elden Ring-themed cards as singles so you can grab only the cards you want
Mill can also be a risky strategy because there are lots of good commanders that benefit from having their graveyards filled, so by milling them you actively help them in their own strategy
As you draw cards, you exile them face down instead, and then you can return everything set aside for a Black mana and a life lost for each card
My Verdict: Swiftfoot Boots offers powerful, flexible protection at a higher equip cost
Anger of the Gods is the card that really leaps to mind, since this deck isn't playing Sylvan Caryatid
