Post Modern format speculation, is it a format? (Crapshot)

[lazylantern]

I just watched episode 327 of crapshots and I'm stunned at how funny this was. Cam and Alex just roll off one another again, one of my favorite crapshots ever is when they discuss the deck they want to play.

Now onto today's topic. What is the Post-Modern format?
Is it M15 and up? The card frame change from 8th edition is the watermark for Modern, so it makes sense to have the new card frame introduced with M15 - with holofoil stamp, to be the benchmark for this format.

Modern banlist, cards need to be altered to have post-modern style art.

the simplest answer would be "Standard"

Alternatively, given post modernism's notions of radical pluralism, maybe its a format where every card in your deck has to come from a different set, or your sideboard includes two other decks and you can never play the same deck twice in a match.

The most self referential mechanic is split second, so this format should include it.

We've already seen Cam playing post-modern in Crapshot #255.

How would that affect cards printed in multiple formats? Essentially as written, basic lands wouldn't be usable. Would this affect duplicates?

I didn't approach this with the necessary rigor apparently

I would say that every card has to be from a different set but could still have the same name, so every basic would have to be from a different set, and that would occupy that set choice for you. So if you wanted the 8E Forest, you couldn't use any other card from 8E, but you could have two Forests, one from 8E and one from M15. Could also see an argument for saying every card in the deck needs to have unique art, so no identical pictures.
