I've always been interest in a format where you have to play block constructed decks, but each player can choose whichever block they'd like. Does anyone know if such a format has a name already?
This is my favorite format ever, unfortunately I've no idea about where it can be played nowadays (it used to be quite popular in Magic Workstation during the 2000s). If anybody finds out where this can be played online currently, I'd appreciate it a lot.
It's similar to the Historic Standard format, but decks are at block constructed rather than standard power level, which is significantly lower, leading to a slower format with a much lower chance of coming across broken decks. The last time I played this must have been around 2009, I've no idea how the balance is affected by the more recent blocks, and it's true that average card power has increased significantly in the 2010s, so there's a chance that some of the older blocks will no longer remain competitive, but I suppose we'd only know that for sure by playing.
