Introducing… the Novus format!

Postby RoastedGravy » 25 Apr 2016, 14:29

Hey everybody, RoastedGravy here.

Have you wanted a new kind of challenge for your games of Magic: The Gathering? Is Standard, Modern, or Eternal getting a little too boring for you? Well, let me introduce you to a new kind of format… the Novus format!

Now, the Novus format isn't unique, but it's a new kind of challenge for those seeking new ways to play the game we all know and love. Novus works in a similar vein to Modern, where cards from up to a certain set are allowed to be played. While Modern goes from Eighth Edition up to the latest set, Shadows over Innistrad, Novus goes a step further in challenge; in this format, only cards that have been printed from Magic 2015 onwards are allowed to be played.

Now, I don't want to go into specific details on this post (I don't think there's enough character space to include it), but you can check it out here:

Thank you for taking a look at this new format, and I hope you enjoy a new kind of challenge to your games of Magic: The Gathering!

To be fair, Modern is getting older and there;s more and more card availability issues. This kind of thing was bound to crop up more and more these days.

Hypothetically, what decks from M15-SOI card pool do you think would rise up and dominate?

Likely not all that good, but the first thing that came to mind that I'd really want to play is u/w enchantment aggro, something like:

4 Helm of the Gods
4 Cloudform
4 Ensoul Artifact
4 Invocation of Saint Traft
4 Oppressive Rays
3 Myth Realized
4 Silkwrap
3 Suspension Field
4 Anticipate
3 Open the Armoury
4 Darksteel Citadel
4 Flooded Strand
4 Island
4 Plains
4 Port Town
3 Prairie Stream
