I have also speculated on this very idea several years ago, and I've come to propose a pair of changes that would go a long way to prevent the meta from instantaneously, and permanently, turning into a snapshot of the "Modern" meta, circa immediately pre-(M15).
The first one is more subtle....
- Ban any-and-all "Timeshifted"(TSP) cards that didn't otherwise recieve a legitimate, pre-(M15), Modern-legal reprint.
This is mainly to establish the integrity of a (8ED)-through-(BNG); "pure-Modern"/"post-Legacy"/"pre-(M15)" format alongside the (4ED)-through-(SCG); "pre-Modern" format, and the inevitable revival of the "Frontier"/"post-Modern"/"post-(M15)" format..
It will also help keep Fish from getting out of hand...
The second change is a little more radical...
That is, to borrow a page from the "Pioneer" format and...
- Ban Fetch-lands!!!
This one/singular change would have more of an indisputably positive benefit for the hypothetical format than literally anything else!
Think about it: the "Modern" format has NEVER known a time without the "enemy" Fetch-lands from O.G Zendikar(ZEN)...
These two changes would go a long way to promoting a truly-healthy "Modern" format, for arguably the first time ever...
This would also open a dialog concerning the existing ban-list as well...

#1I only now noticed that you guys said that the proposed format capped at (M13).. But I still think that my proposed changes, along with the full(er) "Modern" card pool would be the better way to go...
