You guys are aware this game funtioned well before PA was made. Those cards were never meant to impact constructed. Careless mistake by ude made tons of cards unplayable and made vs have staple cards for the first time.

Before PA was printed titans would still lose to generic curve sentinels. Let's not pretend titans is still a powerhouse deck. Xstall was never good. They literally had to hard draw puppet master or lose. If your allowing PA then why ban anything. Its going full gay don't hold back. Then everyone can just bring modern decks using lex and sinister. Sounds super fun....

Lex luthor and sinister are banned for only 1 reason. The main ways to combat them are limited to end sets and are not semi universal. You basically have to play MVL or you'll lose to one of those drops.

Yes, EHB is universal, so if you want, you can just play EHB and decide what 4 consecutive sets offer the most help(already been thinking about this one lol)

Also, I'm highly considering banning the finally 6 meq cards since only a handful of people own them and I don't want shit looking proxies running about.

What do you guys think? Is there a way to create quality proxies that's easy and somewhat cost efficient that everyone, who wanted them, could get them?
That would be really dumb to ban the last meq cards since its part of the set just at limited quantities. The same can be said about dcl. We ban dcl too now? I just dont agree. We already have staples being banned like omni and PA and sinister.. ( so teen titans roy harper can have his fun for an example) which i think is dumb personally. Omni understandable but PA... Come on son! Lol
Really blues? DCL comparisons to final 6 meq cards? Saying we need PA like the game didn't exist long and well before that card? No man, you come on son lol.

But in all seriousness, my thoughts on the final 6 meq don't change, I want to play with them, but they're rarer than foil DCL cards and some people don't even know they exist. But there's a really good chance they're legal and untouched.

Anyone can rattle off decks that will be good, and claim they wil cause issues. But in the end, unless a deck dominated on a broken level(PC NY purple robots level), no deck will be an issue outside of matchups.

If I unban PA then I'm unbanning everything and this just becomes a battle of who can exile the other player faster. Or this becomes a golden age tournament and we can all play an already proven format with already proven decks in already proven matchups..

This format is my attempt at bringing diversity to modern(and the game), no outrageous deck requirements or limitations, while still playing just about every card(golden age style)

Ok first tibit of prize info I can confirm 100%

The winner will receive, in addition to the expect boosters/such prizes, 3 full VS score pads and an official VS pen(the ones they use to give out that are clear, similar to the UDE and yugioh pens from back in the day)


Also the first 6 people who pre register, when i open it up in May, will receive a full VS score pad.

You just named 5 or 6 decks that are really strong without pa. So no one deck is going to rule. The fact that there (staples) is why they should be banned. If your worried about titans, make a spider friends deck and use nice try.

I see nothing wrong with staples, all games have them, especially if it tones some degenerate decks down

Staples aren't bad per say, issue I'm my mind is vs was a game 100% about matchups, because until MCG was released the only staples were search cards.

But they're not the worst.

Teams should have staples. Catch-all negation should not be generic and free.

So it has been brought to my attention that wonder woman DCL can redirect equip targets, this is something that is somewhat game ruining IMO in an event like this where diversity is the hope. So before i get crazy id like to hear reasons she SHOULDNT be given the axe.


and go...

She is broke in a format where all her answers are banned. Anyone who doesn't agree was just planning on playing her.

Sadly without her all JLA variants instantly become hardly playable. Its a shame banning her would limit decks unlike Sinister and LEx who were just generic bullets anyways.

This is coming from someone who was probably gonna play her. She is a problem for too many decks. Nothing else in this format people are comparing her too are even close.

Sorry Roy was getting beat before Omni was even out.
