I know this is a big ask, but…

Please no more direct to Modern sets.

If you guys must, at least make it so that it is Standard legal so it is Standard level in power.

    The first Modern Masters was a blast to play with a high power level (at the time), but it was all reprints. Hell, cube is the highest of high power levels and is curated from existing cards. It’s entirely possible to make good Limited formats without destroying Constructed.

      For sure and some of the worst (either too powerful or unplayable) cards for limited are regularly pushed constructed/commander staples. But despite that, set design over the last 5 years has generally been very good from a draft standpoint.

        Oh for sure. The number of playables in each set has increased. I’m more often making cuts, rather than trying to fill in gaps. I just wish we had more cards like Tough Cookie and Imodane’s Recruiter and less Atraxas and Sheoldreds.
