Block trip
General forum
Posted on April 9, 2015, 10:01 p.m. by IndepenentMeta
I started playing this game around the end of RTR. But I actually wanna visit other blocks and find out what the meta was during this time, sooo knowing this would any of you guys be interested in suggesting a new block for me?
I don't quite understand the question. Do you mean Block Constructed? If so, usually people only play the most recent block (or maybe one before). If you just mean what blocks are good to look through for Modern, you see a lot of strong cards from Lorwyn era, Innistrad, Mirrodin (both times), and Zendikar.
Of course, there will always be at least a few cards from each block that see play.
Except Theros.

If you mean you want to know what the modern meta was at the time of those blocks, you're pretty limited. Innistrad was the first block to be released after modern became a format, so it's best to look there, and go forward.
Look at results from August 2011 and onwards.

ISD is an extremely powerful set. Delver, Lily, Snap, all kinds of great cards.

Hmm I think around 2011? Don't remember exactly. Give it a google.

Look at some videos on either mirrodin, the original and zendikar block. Maybe even urza's block.

My personal favorite is the Urza block but that's going waaay back.. a more relevant block to check out would be Zendikar.

Would urza's happen to be modern legal? I posted it up on the modern forums cause I'm looking for some more cards to play in the modern area. Also looking at limited.

I know somewhere down the magic timeline they had some how can I say this... New looking cards? I can't remember the exact date but if I had to guess it be 2006-2007?

The concept of going block by block is not a Modern concept, regardless of whether you intend to do it for Modern-legal sets. Now, if you had specified that you wanted to look at the Modern metagame in each season, then that would be a Modern post.
And no, Urza's is not Modern legal. Modern includes only 8ED up, and the appearance of the cards themselves should give you an indication of what is and isn't Modern legal.

No it's cause I remember seeing that card being played in a specific deck and I was wondering if you happen to know the cards that went with it?

Are you sure? Because Rite of Undoing was printed a couple of months ago.
Honestly, be more clear in what you say.

It's got one printing. Also, how long have you been playing Magic The number changes almost daily, it seems.
