Title: Format Idea
Post by: LinkCelestrial on November 10, 2015, 06:35:52 PM
modern started with the modern border. What about a new format with the M15 border? Thoughts? Include supplement products?

Supplemental products would break it.

Thats basically standard with the power level of sets these days, plus the old extended was superfluous to the needs of wizards and players alike.

Only really MM2. No? I like the idea of cards originally printed in new borders in supplement sets.

We can also make a ban list.

When the premiered the new boarder I suggested that old boards were Alpha-7th
New boarders are 8-M14
And new are M15- current

I thought about suggesting formats such as pre-modern (no new boarders)
Neo-modern (only newest boarders)

Definitions sound good to me. Pre-modern as in alpha-7th? Could be fun if the power 9 and some other offenders are banned.

I'm thinking commander and duel decks would break it.

Certain colors will get advantages because duel decks don't share all five colors. Also as post above. Or even  {Sol Ring} is too powerful.

Yes but they can print something in the future that is similar.

If you include supplemental products. FTV products would be too... I think the new formats would struggle with the power in those..

It's less work to not include supplements. I get your point however.

That wasn't sarcastic, that was a serious question. I just really like some of the commander deck cards and would love to build around them.

Only would work for m15 + block sets

No special product

DD Anthologies is printed in M15 border. I don't think you want {daze}

Yeah {Daze} would be painful when there are no real two mana counterspells in the "format"

Do you think that if "newer modern" becomes a thing that they will put a time line lock on Old Modern? Like 8th edition to Magic 2015 and then from modern 2015 to current.

I highly doubt it. I see it more how legacy except only expansions.
Title: Re: Format Idea
Post by: Kaylesh on November 25, 2015, 01:53:13 AM
Yeah, that would cause riots. Modern as we know it would become a dying format. Without new cards the meta will set itself. Not to mention secondary market prospects for all those modern staples. They wouldn't plummet overnight, but I don't think many people would buy into the format anymore.
It would become like a huge block constructed, and how many people play that?

That is very true. Shock lands wouldn't be used anywhere besides old modern and causal. Vice versa the khans fetches and tango duels would skyrocket because they'd be the go to lands for the new modern
