or just bring blocks back!
PLEASE bring blocks back. The most fun I ever had was block constructed as a format. It sits between limited and standard and lets players into the lore more easily. You don't have to keep hopping around sets and mechanics every 2-3 months.
I'd welcome the return of blocks from a lore perspective, and Block Constructed as a format, but I have to say I don't miss drafting blocks. When you're opening packs from three different sets, every common might as well be a rare, in the sense that you'd better take it now or risk not seeing it again. At that point I'd rather just do a chaos draft.
Removing blocks started the golden age of draft IMO.
The Phyrexians were too easily defeated.
Yep, that.
Looking forward to the one that covers LotR.
Blocks are the way to go tbh, not only do we get more time spending on a new plane but also meeting new characters that we can get attached to. You can have 1 of set in planes we have seen before if you want something like an intermission. It also allows for more synergy between cards as the blocks are designed together. Imagine Kamigawa - Ravnica standard but 8th - Mirodin - Kamigawa - Ravnica. It would actually suck with little to no cohesion and a lot of annoying things to play. But either way I hope blocks come back, 2 set blocks are the ideal tbh. The Guilds and Allegiance sets were really fun (even if jank from Dominaria is there)
