I like it better than Cancel, and eventually you will get it back.

If only the flavour text had been: "Commander? What comander?"

You're all wrong. Commander is funny. Unlike 60-card 4-of, Commander is 100-card Singleton.
Which means, obviously, that one of the first things you need to think about is how to make your deck more consistent. Straight up card-drawing, while still great, doesn't do as much as being able to find, say, 5-6 cards with different names that are near functional reprints.
In 'normal' Magic, this is Hinders 5-8. In Commander, this is Hinder 2. And it's completely deliberate, because just having 2 Hinders is nothing like having 8. It's not 'nerfed'. It's not significantly 'better' or 'worse' than Hinder. It's just 'different' enough to justify a new name, and a new card. This is your second Hinder in every deck that uses Hinder, plain and simple. They can't do this sort of thing in Standard, like making Mana Leak 5-8, or, just to be ridiculous, Squadron Hawk 5-8.
That's why Commander is just so awesome. Each new functionally similar card is just one little card more in a 100-card gia... (see all)

After they Spell Crumple your general, you Tunnel Vision them naming Spell Crumple, thus making this worse than Hinder.
If you have a reliable tutor, you can dig this back out of your library, making this better than Hinder.
Overall, it's a Hinder variant (barely).

They need to make a new ruling in EDH... If your general would be put into your library, put it back into the commander zone instead. Ruins the spirit of the game....
Which begs the question... why print a hated commander card in commander.

@MisterAction, stop thinking in absolutes, that's how children think. EDH, like any other Magic format, is at base, a game. The entire point of a game is to win, no matter what the game promotes, in this case talking and being social. 5/5 for being an awesome card in EDH, and 0/5 for you, ***.
