I'm opening discussion on next seasons leagues. I'd like feedback on this years rounds to help me plan next years. So far I know that I want to run 6 rounds, and some number of special events.
There will be at least 1 limited round, I think sealed constructed based on boosters randomly generated from a select card pool.
We don't want to do all of classic, extended, standard and SOM block, so opinions are welcomed on which are least popular of these. Past experience says standard and classic will be top. I'd probably drop block, and possibly extended, round 3.8 will clarify how popular it is. If there's any call for SOM block then we're looking at June to October, the earlier the better since people seem to get bored of block quickly. Based on that we have the usual issue with standard, do we do it before or after rotation. I'm thinking September, after the M2012 release, while there are still 2 complete blocks in standard.
That leaves us with 2 or 3 rounds to decide. If we don't do SOM block then an old block could be fun, something like RAV block or Lorwyn spring to mind, or it could be something more obscure.
We then have singleton formats, prismatic singleton, standard singleton, rainbow stairwell, 100 singleton etc.
Or there are oddballs like alphabet, byos, monocast, creature feature etc.
What do you think about a round of Peasant (pauper + 5 uncommons)?
Looking forward to your comments.
