The cards that appear on the restricted list for Classic may not mirror in any way those cards that exist on the corresponding list for Vintage, or the Banned list for Legacy.

But what cards should be there?

Masters Edition One is rotating out, but Wizards has promised an MED II. Weatherlight is coming, and we get Duel Decks - Elves vs. Goblins next week.

Are these sets worth buying? Let's do the numbers.

The Final Edition is in... and some cards still didn't make the cut.

For those of you interested in the exercise of actually going through how I came up with the imaginary list, read on.

Yes, in my Master’s Edition II, all 10 dual lands are in. No, I didn’t put the power nine in the set.

For those of you interested in the exercise of actually going through how I came up with the imaginary list, read on.

Quite often, I can’t resist making a cutting remark or at least a gentle jab at Wizards of the Coast or Magic Online.

But this time, Wizards got it exactly right...

Unlike less-powered formats, where the game does not swing so violently on each and every play but rather gradually builds to a crescendo, Classic measures its’ power far closer than any other Online format.

Our Special Preview card gives you a whole new way to measure it.

In theory, you’d expect a format that allows turn 1 wins with Belcher and Flash to invalidate many of the strategies with Extended.

You’d expect these things, and no matter how right you’d be, you’d be wrong.

What that metagame essentially broke down into was exactly what one would expect - if you were prepared.

The people who are unwilling to adapt will probably tell you that Flash is going to make a whole lot of decks unviable.

Those people are right.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the release of the last dedicated Classic-format set – Visions

I thought I would take a retrospective look at Classic as a format, the rise of the Classic Quarter Clan, and the Eternal Struggle tournament series.

There are certainly complexities to even basic deck function, and things only get more convoluted when you’ve got a real opponent instead of a goldfish

With a good pilot and proper practice, Burning Tendrils has the potential to utterly destroy the field.

In Classic, we have a unique opportunity to abuse these cards in ways that simply don’t exist in other formats.

To put it bluntly, there isn’t a single faster deck available in Classic, and with a proper build, there are few decks that can put up a fight before storm ends the game.

If your initial reaction was to dismiss mono-Black Affinity as amateurish or suboptimal, I can't say I'd blame you.

But goldfishing the deck, and a multi-colored version by means of proxying and imagination, began to suggest that the mono-colored build was actually faster.

The simple running of 4x Leyline of the Void or Tormod's crypt can no longer be seen as the means to defeating almost all classic combo, everywhere.

And it gets better.

I can tell you there are a number of people whom I've talked to who would like nothing better than to see Vintage online.

If you were in charge of MTGO - what pre-Mirage cards would you try to get online and how?

Where is Classic? And by that, I mean, as a metagame and a format, where does it stand?

Of this I'm pretty sure - the people who are interested in seeing classic grow are definitely not interested in seeing the format ruled by a deck that everyone has seen more than enough of.
