I was originally introduced to Magic: the Gathering sometime back in the late-nineties, but I didn't actually get into it until it was re-introduced to me several years later during the summer of 2012, early into the 'Scars of Mirrodin-Innistrad' cycle... annnnd I've been playing on & off ever since..

I played Standard until Innistrad rotated out. Which led me to getting into Modern for a few years, and then eventually Legacy. However, I've gotten into EDH more recently after moving near an EDH dominated LGS..

Said on Pre Pioneer...

#1

I 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...

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...
