Anyone else feel like field decks should have their own Hubs?

Field of the Dead was such an issue in newer formats that it's been banned in both standard and pioneer. It's also increadibly easy to build your deck around grinding out the game with an ever growing hoard of zombies, so does anyone agree that field decks should have their own hub in the deck builder?

If it is banned in both Standard and Pioneer what other format would care enough to build a deck around it?
Every other format has Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle which is better for combo. Modern, Legacy, and Vintage are too fast to count on getting to 7 lands for value, and the type of commander games where you get to 7 lands a vanilla 2/2 doesn't effect the board enough to be built around.
(I realize that this sounds aggressive, but that isn't my intent. I am honestly curious where you think it will find a home. I don't keep up on meta games, so maybe it already has and my assessment is wrong.)

No worries, fair enough with it not being legal in the newer formats, hadn't really thought of it that way.

I think recently we got a Lands hub at least which is pretty inclusive to catch valakut and other land focused strategies.
