i want to try a cool idea i had. modern was conceived as a format that would avoid the reserved list, but cut out a bunch of reprintable sets. lets play a format with all standard legal formats from mercadian masques forward!

legal sets:
masques block
invasion block
odyssey block
onslaught block
mirrodin lock
kamigawa block
ravnica block
time spiral block
lorwyn/shadowmoor block
alara block
zendikar block
scars of mirrodin block
innistrad block
return to ravnica block
theros block
tarkir block
battle for zendikar block
7th-10th edition
m10-m15
magic origins

o and also, i like the idea of having both a banned and restricted list. this is what i figured we could start with (i'm power tripping!!):

Banned:
Mind's Desire
Dark Ritual
Treasure Cruise
Hypergenesis
Umezawa's Jitte
Skullclamp
Dark Depths
Rite of Flame
Mental Misstep

Restricted:
Ponder
Brainstorm
Gush
Dig Through Time
Sensei's Divining Top
Chrome Mox

depending on how things shake out i'll mod it every month or two. i'm not really up to run a tournament but i'm always up to throw down on xmage. grab me in #mtgoon!

Because you could play affinity with disciple of the vault and artifact lands

Blazing shoal is legal? There's a lot of words here. Also mental misstep?

Banning Mental Misstep is lame :colbert:

Also at least restrict Rishadan Port

Or don't frankly, I'll play you if I get to use Rishadan Port and Counterspell.

shoal is legal. misstep is not. if port is really oppressive i will restrict it.

This is interesting, I always wondered what Modern would be like if it started from Invasion block (which is when most longtime Wizards employees say they finally figured out block design) but this is kind of close.

We're OK with Deathrite Shaman? Suppose it's devalued by mistep, but I'm not keen on that.

So I was going to go through all of the "new" sets and see what cards would be interesting to build around or put into current Modern archetypes but that's a lot to go through, so I'll just ask people what they're most interested in seeing played in this new format? I'm curious to see how some Modern all-stars fare with actually good control cards in the format.

since dredge/storm get more tools i'm curious how that will work out. and also how twin will fare, how pod looks in this world, etc. stoneblade seems like an obvious thing that i wasn't sure what to do with. JTMS was on my consideration for a restrict.

i thought about DRS but i think there's less pull towards BGx (not 0 pull though) bc there's more combo options and blue options. it's probably on the watchlist (honestly everything unbanned from modern is on the watch list) but i erred on the side of less bans

I'm working on a second you leyline playing degenerate milquetoast piece of human garbage.

My first draft of dredge is maybe less than 5% to kill on turn 2 albeit pretty resilient if unhated and obviously I'm trying to improve that.
