Regardless of what they do or might want to do with the format in terms of encouraged playstyles and desired power level, the format will never look like Modern as long as Wizards keeps pumping out pushed EDH cards that are legal in eternal formats and not in others, even if they banned all the fast mana and cheap cantrips and fetchlands and duals or whatever else tomorrow.
The next Commanderesque side-set is gonna be Modern legal :laugh:

They really need to ban Murktide next, but there I'm not so confident of them actually making the correct decision.
Don't worry, we just have to wait for the next modern horizons in which they print even more mental cards to outclass the current ban candidates ;)Quote:

Am I doing this right?
I got Storm+Bushido
But I rerolled into Epic and cascade.
I think they're changing the rules. Again
I mean touching on this; they really should just ban everything that's never been Type 2 legal.Quote:

That would still leave us with such gems as blue delve spells, companions, Underworld Breach, Oko, Dreadhorde Arcanist on a regular basis.Quote:

In case that still exists they probably only use it to identify cards that aren't broken to push further.
Current balancing priorities are:
1) Commander
2)
3)
4) Standard
5)
6) Who even cares anymore.
As long as commander players continue to give money to WotC like they are Nigerian princes, this is what we'll get.
Not happening BUT, some years ago, right before MTGA became a thing, there was a discussion making some headways about the possibility of giving players a way to 'define a format' in MTGO and being able to organize their own competitions for it, all done inside the software not using funny websites and all sorts of hacks. Which would allow all of these ideas and would certainly start to show how popular or not they are. Then MTGA came and it all went the way of the dodo.Quote:

It's a brand new world in the first week post-bans:

In case this got missed.
While the strategy seems fine, the better fix would be better balancing but can't have that.
Can't wait for them to change their policy again in a few months time.
It's dumb, and so is WOTC but it's ok.Quote:

It feels like there are less obvious ways to kill Legacy if that’s all you want to do
There's more degenerate shit than mind's desire.Quote:
