How do you like the new limited format where only the last two expansion sets and the Basti set can be used?
- Yes, I like it. Finally some fresh air.
- No, I don’t like it at all. All my top cards are useless.
- I have no opinion about it.

Who is basti? I thought JC designed the sets?
I like the format. It actually showed me some hidden gems in my collection!
Not enough options in this poll. I love the extra challenge in deckbuilding but hate that the mismatches in matchmaking have been taken to another level with Standard.
Plus, yknow, cycling needs fixing.
I am hopeful for where Standard will end up, but then again, when has being hopeful for anything worked as a strategy in this game?
Love the idea. Really needs a fix for mastery.
@shteev - many of us were hopeful for deck slots, and less than 2 years into the game, we kind of sort of got them.
Sure, the lord giveth, but ee bah gum 'e don’t half taketh away.
[edit] How are you finding the deck slots, btw? I’m very much still saving my decks as screenshots and rebuilding them.
Yeah, this poll needs more options.
I’m absolutely ok with the new format, BUT the fact that now they have 4 nodes instead of 3 feels too grindy. The old format’s 3 nodes were just perfect.
@shteev @arNero: you are right in that there are many more relevant questions on the New format. I didn’t wanted to over engineer but get a snapshot of the people’s view
cycling doesn’t need fixing. it’s the dev’s gift to every player that don’t have Baral or Season’s Past or Rashmi. It’s the ultimate playing field leveler since most can get non-mythic cards to do cycling well. ![]()
I’m enjoying the refreshment of building entirely new decks instead of just using the same most OP cards over and over, the limited format is more balanced and many cards can see play that wouldn’t otherwise.
However I think this should be used in just some events and the majority should allow all the cards.
The limited format would be perfectly fine if we were just playing to beat other players’ decks, but in most events we’re either:
both can be super frustrating when you don’t have access to proper tools like card drawing or removal, most of which is missing in this format.
The new format is unenjoyable for me. I don’t want to rebuild after a year and a half of perfecting my decks. It very MTG of them actually. I’m just about done with this game after being a daily player since launch.
If all the cards that are available were not broken, I might like it. I’m looking at you - Animist’s Awakening!
I hate the new standard format. I started playing after BFZ was released, and did not get to the competitive stage until SOI. My Origins collection is severely lacking, and most of my best cards are SOI. Fuck off D3G, you fucked me with these deck restrictions.
Personally I like the new opportunity to create new Decks with suboptimal cards. it’s quite satisfying when you defeat with a weaker decks a Samus with his full aresenal of mythical and rares ![]()
I like it for PvP but hate it for PVE. Looks like I’m skipping Trial of Zeal like I did with RatC.
I like the format, but despise the deck management tools and options we have to quickly move between Standard and Modern.
For PvP, it would be fine if all the cards worked as printed, but for PvE, having a limited card selection to go against creatures whose hit point dwarf you own is a great way to stick your tongue out at platinum players.
