My local gaming group plays a format very similar to 93/94, except we also allow Fallen Empires, Revised, and Collector's Edition, as well as all foreign releases from 1993 & 1994 (like Italian Legends).
We've also discussed periodically rotating a set/block in temporarily to shake things up (first up would probably be Ice Age-Homelands-Alliances). We call the format "Genesis."
@therogue + @gumgod: There are some repackaged boxes with packs from old sets, couple legit stores are selling them on ebay sometimes. They seem legit I was thinking of grabbing one of the unlimited boosters or arabians with a revised starter box. Would be fun to do a tourny with a revised starter and arabian booster for each person. Fun.
Some minor magic history before drafting-We used to buy just a starter deck and play with it, some people would add one booster but it would have to be agreed upon. We called it 'Zen' or 'Zen Decks' and every game was for ante.
This is how i started playing magic, ahh the memories of the worst ante luck ever, lost a tropical island to win a birds of paradise....as a kid i was sooo happy, now not so much...
It's worth noting that even if duals and power got reprinted, the original ones will probably not drop in price too much for no other reason but collector's value. Honestly, right now, power keeps value because it is a collectible. Printing a new art Black Lotus isn't going to suddenly make the original ones any less rare.
