Daily Discussion - Your Favorite New Format

[JStephens]

Wizards of Coast has pushed several new formats lately, with Two-Headed Giant, Legacy, and Team Constructed all getting their first glimpses in the sun. When you add in the upcoming rotation for Extended there seems to be a lot going on lately!

So, of the above choices which is your favorite "new" format to play? What's your favorite format to play in general?

[ak1200]

I really believe of all the formats, Legacy is the most intriguing one. It eliminates the most broken cards printed (giving the chance for anyone to design a competitive deck), but leaves us with a tremendous card pool that is unrivaled. Your favorite cards will never rotate out, so your investment will never be wasted. Add to that the fact that it is still a fresh format where the tier one decks may not even be defined yet, and you have one of the most fun formats to play in in quite awhile.

form the lest up there I would go w Team Constructed seeing as if you play constructed you might billd a deck that would in your mind rule but maybe suck to outher ppl so w that new format it let you get a frind to or a one of your teem to hellp you out on it. format to play in general so far it has been 5 color it rocks it let you play w a t1 deck but makes you billd it so big that it might make ppl lol when thay first see the deck but when thay play w you it will make them not lol at it what soever and it is just so fun to play online too. that is my 0.002 cents

i have got to say that i cant wait for extended to rotate its a rogue paradise. there are the usual suspects in terms of decks but there are going to b 10 viable decks! legacy is going to b awesome i cant wait to see all the decks in the championship this weekend! magic just seems like its getting better and better

Post-Rotation Extended. It's time for the Goblins to inherit the earth. Then again Goblins may very well be even more dominant in Legacy. Team Constructed also looks really cool.

blah goblins....ban 'em! :) j/k

Personally can't wait for rotated-Extended. I'm ready for a format where i don't know exactly what is coming at me the moment i see a basic land type. :)

[skater15]

I think Team Constructed is going to be fun. It's what im looking foward to the most.

[ThePope]

As far as extended goes it's going to be a predominantly goblin format with a few ravager decks here and there. I'm not biased, I hate the deck, too, but there isn't much that goblins will be losing in the rotation.
Legacy will probably be my favorite format to play as I see it as Type 1 without the insane turn one and turn two kills that are so common in that format. I will be able to build a T&N deck for it! Woot.

[DaveOath]

Right now: KBC.

Legacy look cool but to expensive.

[steghouse]

Yea, I enjoy playing KBC too. So many good decks, with so little card selection = good design.

[Shinboi]

New ext is pretty good... T1 is pretty fun.... The 1st or 2nd turn kills are that common in T1 ther is only like 1 deck that is viable that can do that and it requires a good hand besides that T1 is a control format... and it isn't a very expensive format to play, since all tourneys are now 10 proxy except for stuff thats ran by wizards which is like 1 event a year the Vintage Championship.

[ADrawathian]

I think I like Team Constructed the most. That's just cool. Two-Headed Giant and Standard are sharing the second place for me.

[Rakavolver]

I don't give a rat's right rear butt cheek what Wizards promotes, especially if it comes from the warped mind of TV Comedy writer Mark Rosewater.

As far as formats go, Vintage will always be my favorite, but I don't play computer magic and can't find enough real players interested in the format, locally. Extended was the best it's ever been in its last PTQ season, but there's no time for me to play it or analyze the wonderful meta. I used to like Block, then my summers became overwhelming, so any summer format gets zero attention from me. I have never drafted, being more of a poker player than a bridge player, and anyway I haven't the time to learn all the cards (and it's far too painful to read bad ones, frankly). If I DID play Limited, I'd shoot for the top, Team Rochester Draft. A brother hasn't lived till he's seen Alex Shvartsman and Zvi Moskowitz argue ... in sign language. Dam this game of ours is funny. Sealed Limited I've played a few times ... pre-realeases are charming, but only the first flight since after that less-than-honest practices CAN become prevalent.

That leaves Standard, decent enough and the best it's ever been ... and by that I mean balanced. Some would argue they don't like that .... that they'd prefer beating up le chumps with broken Affinity ... not me.

[Dyne]

my fav is extended, very diverse, and can use most of the new cards effectively.

[?¿?]

I just like standard everything else costs money to enter where I live lol.

[affinityplaya]

i like block constructed the most and then the new coolest one is probably team constructed but idk anyone who'd wanna do it lol anyway um t2's obviously cool

[KaervekBoo]

I really like standard. It stays fresh because of yearly rotations and it forces you to explore all of the mechanics that Wizards invents (even though some are better than others ex. Affinity vs. Sunburst). This past year also made me respect Wizards even more. With their bannings it showed me they were willing to admit they made some mistakes in designing.Right now I'm exploring Type 2 Reanimator for when Mirrodin rotates out and I can't wait to see what Ravnica brings to the table.

Earlier soemone said something about KBC being a diverse format. I hope he's kidding. KBC IS THE SINGLE LEAST DIVERSE FORMAT OF ALL TIME. The only difference is that one G/X/X deck uses a Kagemaro lock over a Godo kill, and some use both.

Team Standard will be so great.

Team Standard mkes you think and be more of a team player it introduces a new level of stategic thinking
