Heirloom is a format that bases its card legality on the Legacy format and on the price of the cards at the 'day of rotation'. The list of legal cards is static, which means all cards stay legal or illegal until next 'rotation', that is approximately 2-3 weeks after each regular set release.
The legality range is as follows:
Mythic: up to 0.50
Rare: up to 0.40
Uncommon: up to 0.25
Common: up to 0.13
Heirloom is commonly an mtgo format. But since the price difference is too great I want to promote the format for paper magic with a different legality list. Here is a more detailed explanation of the format.
The highlights of the format:
It makes the game more accessible with an average deck price of $20.
After you take away the best magic cards you're left with a lot more cards that are pretty good, and now playable.
When compared to Pauper it feels more like normal magic.
I would be interested if there was a decent way of browsing cards that are legal. The only site for determining legality has no support for ordering cards by anything relevant for deck building. If I'm looking for cards for a format, I'm going to need to see what the card actually does on the listing, not it's price or "score"
I also saw two cards I really liked and I would like to do a deck around them: Phantom Centaur and Centaur Glade. With some mana ramp and Ferocity it would make a nice synergy. Here's a deck idea although I don't like the fogs.
Is that first link your website for Heirloom? It's not loading for me at all, I can't even resolve the URL to anything. Could be an iPhone thing or Chrome... or both. I seriously don't want to suffer Windows right now.
How are you coming along on the site? Did you resolve the price thing?
I think it was a wise move to set your rotation to 2-3 weeks after set release instead of monthly. A monthly schedule would've been maddening.
