These 5 sets are legal:
-Invasion block (Invasion, Planeshift, Apocalypse)
-Ravnica block (Ravnica: City of Guilds, Guildpact, Dissension)
-Shards of Alara block (Shards of Alara, Conflux, Alara Reborn)
-Return to Ravnica block (Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash, Dragon’s Maze)
-Khans of Tarkir block (Khans of Tarkir, Fate Reforged, Dragons of Tarkir)
Players must choose:
-One base set (so either Invasion, Ravnica: City of Guilds, Shards of Alara, Return to Ravnica, or Khans of Tarkir)
-One small set, which cannot be from the same block as your large set
-A second small set, not from the same blocks as your other two sets
Planeswalkers are banned
Only cards that are in a certain set’s number are legal (ie. Fetch lands were in Fate Reforged packs, and Shocklands were in Dragon’s Maze packs, but they didn’t actually have a set number, so you can’t use those lands by choosing that set)
I think this format will end up being a lot of fun, and welcome any feedback!
