Posting for discussion. Personally I don’t agree, aside from it being the most popular format on Arena, I think it serves as sort of a load-bearing pillar for Magic. Even if it doesn’t seem popular right now I feel like removing it would have ripple effects that would hurt Magic overall

    @MysticKetchup A not-insignificant chunk of this problem is the fact that all of those decks are powered primarily *from* Standard, or at least would-be-Standard-if-not-Banned-ard *cough* Fable *cough*. MH2 doesn’t help what with the Beans deck but 5C Beans still plays cards from current Standard to facilitate major parts of the engine (Binding and Beans itself).

    So I dunno. I just find the idea of having a format where the fun ideas of Commander deck cards can run free without FoW sometimes.
