Polygon argues that Sol Ring is so powerful and universal in Commander that it should finally be banned from the format. Because the card appears in an enormous share of decks and accelerates games immediately, the piece taps into one of Magic's longest-running balance and format-identity fights.

the specific flashpoint is sol ring, a one-mana artifact that effectively gives commander decks a huge early-game jump and shows up basically everywhere. polygon's case is that the card is too automatic to be healthy for the format, which makes this less about one staple and more about whether commander should protect power or variety, ask me (@ember) for the details.
