    I absolutely love this movement of the premodern format. This is the era and game design feel that I loved the most. It has so much room for creativity with a large card pool, but doesn’t contain the type of power creep seen today. No chase mythics, no planeswalkers, and still limitless potential to feel like classic Magic.

    Best magic format ever. Have been playing leagues with my friends every month for a year and a half now. It’s a the point now where it honestly feels like magic wouldn’t be the same without it. So thanks for creating this incredible format, martin. Love from denmark

    Thank you for creating this format! I started playing in 1996 with Alliances and the Odyssey/Onslaught Standard was the high point of my Magic days. I'm really hoping I can get my LGS to support this and start having playgroups or events.

    I was introduced to this format a little while back, and it sucked me back in time to when MTG meant the most to me. I have long felt that today's magic isn't meant for me, with the billions of new set releases and puke commander everywhere. Premodern is where it's at. It isna seemingly obvious formst, but I am glad you reminded us where we belonged all along.

      @@Cynidecia I dig it. So we get some of the early planeswalkers, but nothing over the top like Atraxa or anything. It kind of sets me back on my plans. I was thinking about building a five color control deck with The Ur Dragon, and running a few doublestrike instants. Maybe I just build both. Mission first, though. Get a 6 figure job to pay for my MTG fix. 😆

    Interesting format but how will the format grow if no new cards are introduced into the format?

    • @zirilan3398
      @zirilan3398 22 дні тому

      it doesn't need to grow in cardpool to grow in terms of playernumbers, the fact that you can play any variant of a printing of a legal card is what keeps the cost fairly low (excluding reserved list cards). Many staples like StP, have so many printings that they are dirt cheap, the manabase keeps getting reprints with Painlands and Fetches every couple years. The second biggest appeal after the nostalgia for the format is it's stability. Since no new cards can be added you can play your deck basically forever (which was the main appeal for Legacy before Modern Horizon 1).
      Another point is that thou some strategies like Oath of Druids can feel overwhelming and unfair there are always out's for every deck (which is a big reason why Enchantment-removal in the mainboard is so common), it lacks that feeling of inevitability more modern Magiccards have like Atraxa for example in current Standard

    Great vid.
    If you have the time, I have a question about creating a format and would really appreciate your input as you've done so well!
    Format Name: 'Immortal Standard'
    Card Pool: All cards that have ever been in Standard or early MtG Equivilant
    Starting Ban List: The Modern Ban List, The Legacy Ban list, The Reserved list
    Meta Goals: Diverse meta with a wide array of tier 1 and tier 1.5 decks, consisting of highly interactive and highly skilled gameplay.
    The idea is to create a format that only consists of cards having been in standard to act as a kind of protection from things like Modern Horizons and Secret lair cards.
    Being clear, I love Modern Horizons! But I find that something has been lost from Legacy and Modern recently as instead of being a place for old cards where decks very rarely change, they are now much more dynamic formats.
    With Immortal standard, the goal would be to have a meta that doesn't change TOO much, but still can be effected by releases occasiionally and where the Mana base isn't as insanely expensive as Legacy.
    Do you have any thoughts on something like this? Other people have commented that blue would be very good and would probably need some bans, but baning force of will for this format might just be too much.
    Anyway great vid dude.
