    The main roadblocks to getting into older formats are multicoloured lands. They're all way too expensive. You have common alternatives in lands that enter tapped, but those make your deck significantly slower.

      @araen11 Год назад +2

      Welcome to the format Im sure you will enjoy yourself. Rn I think meta is very healthy and diverse you cam play multiple of decks really. For example I play jund midrange cascade, which technically isnt a tier 1 meta deck, but I have consistent results with it, many 1st places on fnms, I almost always qualify for top 8 on the bigger ones.
      If you are less of a competitive player then pauper is also for you. The amount of brewing you can do is enormous and you can find some really niche and powerful cards that dont see much play. Also the fact you can relatively easily afford multiple different decks and have fun with variety is also great both for casual players and comprtitve ones

    Love prerelease weekend and sitting down to a draft pod is a unique experience every time.
    Edit: best experience i had recently was playing pioneer rakdos cat oven against a new player, i apologised before the game and promised to take it slow and explain the effects and triggers. At the end when there were mayhem devils and copies and multiple ovens and treasures reducing the opponent from 14 to 0 at instant speed they were in love, i suspect i have a mirror match next time.

    Tectonic (IE changing the 'landscape' up):
    100 card commander legal deck or 60card singleton w/ leader:
    Variation:
    - Every time somebody plays a fetchland (dual fetch, basic evolv wilds style) they exile top card of library: when they crack the fetch to get one from deck, they exile the fetch and after the library shuffle (from fetching the new land) they again exile top card again. Cards exiled this way are permanently exiled.
    - Cards with cascade/dredge/ETB can be used but
    ---Cascade: They always have summoning sickness (can't have haste), and when they go into grave, they get a grave counter (+1). they can't be reanimated/etc until that counter is removed: they can remove the counter at your next turn's End Step.
    -- Dredge: same as Cascade.
    -- ETB: If the permanent has an ETB effect AND would receive haste, you have to choose one or the other.
    -- Legends Rule still applies: no copies of legendary cards of any sort (no, the 2nd doesn't come in as 'nonlegendary'). Also, only 1 of each named planeswalkers (1 copy of a 'Jace', no Mind Sculptor and Memory Adept at same time). For planeswakers no choosing which lives/dies, the one on BF stays until it dies, then new Jace can come out.
    -- No cards referencing cards 'outside the game' (that oldschool cycle that did that) and the newer ones. Sideboard is only for sideboarding between matches.
    -- 'Universal' banlist: Basically a Commander, Historic, Standard, Vintage/Legacy list: plus the most OP stuff from modern. (The point of the format is to 'mix things up' while still making it fun).

    Despite all its flaws, Arena, with all those multiplayer queues automatically matchmaked to one form of (in)competence or another (MTGO might have *some* of that too ?), is pretty amazing to just go in blind to discover a format ! (Except maybe for the non-"quick" drafts, because of the short time limit to pick cards, so it's better to train on "quick" draft first.)

    The best format is home brewed because there no card shops where people play in my area. So I play at the table with family and a few friends

    I might rename the video to "Getting Into a New Format" since I clicked curious about why you were creating a new format.
