Eternal Formats

[kangor]

Eternal format uses all sets of Magic's history and allows players to compete with a wide range of crazy and fatal tricks. Most Eternal decks are combo decks that often "go off" on turn 1 or 2.

UAE Eternal Events will feature the use of PROXY CARDS. PROXY CARDS will be handed out the day of the event. They will be basic land cards and you will not be able to use homeade printed PROXY CARDS in any of the events. Please bring a list or copies of the actual PROXY CARDS you intend to use so you have current ORACLE wording.

You can find a link to all the MTG Formats here:

I would like to hold a non-sanctioned 10 PROXY Legacy tournement before JULY 10th.
I would like to have atleast 6 for this event...It should not be hard to spice up your block deck with 20 old cards and compete! We will be using the Legacy B & R list located here:
www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=judge/resources/sfrlegacy
I will provide Legacy cards to top 4 as prize TBA.

I will bring old packs back from States to use as prizes for future events.

sure man, ive been wanting to dust of some of my old cards. and if you would also like, extended would be more viable format since some of us are still actively playing extended.

Lets Keep this eternal and do an extended thread as well...kinda tidy things up.

i'd agree on proxying up to 10 cards. Meaning power9 + 1 most of the time.

[CutToTheChase]

No power 9 ...The Power 9 is vintage only, this is Legacy, the Power 9 is banhammered in Legacy.... it's still an eternal format though.

aaaaarghhh Legacy, no tutors! Arrrrgh!
I'll put together two decks.

I'm up for it anytime!

There are many formats in Magic ..i'll explain them as best i can.

Block - The Current block

Standard - The current "x"th Edition, and the current block + the last block.

Extended - The last 5 blocks + the last 2 "x"th Editons (might be 3 not sure)

Legacy - all cards ever printed that are currently legal but with a very closely monitored banned list.

Vintage - all cards ever printed that are currently legal but with a banned restricted list. (restricted meaning you can only play one of a card instead of 4)

You can view an old article here... this covers all formats www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/academy/21

and this year they made some alterations to Extended
