STOP USING POWER LEVELS in EDH! Why Explaining the Intent of an EDH Deck, not a Subjective Numeric "Power Level", is CRITICAL in EDH

"Power Levels" are often cited by EDH players trying to find a pod to play in, but such a subjective piece of criteria fails to address the complexity of an EDH game/pod. I argue that Power Levels do not exist and should not exist - instead, the Intent of a Deck (i.e. what the deck aims to do, how quickly it gets to a potential winning position, etc.) is far more important than a single number based on subjective criteria. Rule 0 conversations are critical in EDH and need to be had before every game.
