So for the community cup, they announced the following format
http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/other/05192011d
Where only cards with the modern card frames are legal, basically Mirrodin and Eight Edition forward.
The following cards are banned:
Ancient Den
Seat of the Synod
Vault of Whispers
Great Furnace
Tree of Tales
Chrome Mox
Dark Depths
Sensei's Divining Top
Skullclamp
Sword of the Meek
Umezawa's Jitte
Golgari Grave-Troll
So the immediate thing that occurred to me is that it is a fetch land/dual format, albeit with the shock lands, but that's something. I haven't heard if they're planning to actually make this a format or if it's a one time thing, but it seems fairly interesting. A lot of old extended decks, like zoo and elves are legal, and other old standard decks could be ported. It seems not terrible. Thoughts?
