I was thinking that it might solve the problem for eternal. More GP's (their doubling the GP's in 2012) means more chance to have GP Foils and Judge Foils for legacy and vintage (those that are not on the reserved list). They could also have Dual Lands and Power Nine as prizes in OverExtended since the player base there will be much more interested on those and not on boosters. Which makes sense since they had already given away power nine as prizes on legacy side events. They are not blind to see that eternal is very much alive and kill it, look at the prices of staples. They will not reach that price if not for the huge demand for eternal staples.
I would be kind of pissed but eventually just shrug it off and punish wizards by playing legacy dredge totally unchanged in overextended.

It seems Mental Misstep can necro threads too. Man, it does everything. lol
Any overextended format would have ban lists to sharply reduce the Legacy combo decks that would survive the transition intact.
I actually think this format wouldn't start from Masqes onward, but instead Invasion-block onward. This gets rid of a few key cards that would be trouble in the format- Brainstorm, Dark Ritual, and Rishadan Port (the latter because there just aren't enough of them to go around as a Wasteland "replacement"). Not to mention broken things like Gush.
Wizards does have to do something about Extended. Changing the format to "double standard" for this PTQ season has not been a success with the playerbase or the TOs.
Question: Which set did the official type 1.X started on?
I think if there was such thing as over-extended, it would start there.
