Ok, here's a random idea for a new magic variant format. I've not play tested this at all, but maybe somebody would like to comment or even try it out.
TIME SPIRAL
Homebrewed Magic Format
By Jonah Mann
So in the Time Spiral format, you build two decks.
First is a 60-card singleton 'main' deck. This could follow Legacy rules, but for financial (not thematic) reasons, Modern rules could optionally be observed.
Any of the shifted card list can not be placed into the 60-card main deck.
If you would draw a card (after opening hands), you may choose to 'shift' or draw a card from your 15-card 'time spiral' deck instead. If a shifted card would go to the graveyard, exile it instead. If there are no cards left in your 'time spiral' deck, you may not choose to shift a card from it.
Otherwise normal Magic rules apply.
Sort of inspired somewhat by Commander (aka EDH).
Any thoughts? Sound fun? Sound broken? Suggestion for improvements? Deck lists?
Cheers.

Second is a 15-card singleton 'time spiral' deck containing only Time Spiral block's 247 'shifted' cards. Timeshifted, planeshifted and futureshifted.
