Next year will have six standard legal sets 
. Standard is the new Modern, three year rotation with six sets a year will be an insane number of cards that are standard legal.

So after everyone's feedback was that they should print less sets with higher quality they went ahead and said "Frick that".
Is a woman running this company?
I'm so glad I grew up in gradeschool with Mirage and Urza's Saga and got to live through the good times of MTG.

Mirage block was kinda garbage for both limited (blue was so OP) and constructed, particularly given the power creep of the Urza sets. I agree those were good times though.
When did you stop playing? I got out before planeswalkers were a thing though I still played occasionally with friends after doing cube or whatever.

After college after Mirrodin Block came out, though we still play with about 10-12 friends casually and open booster boxes.
But we all agree it's gone to shit.
I still have my all foil Darksteel Reactor deck. People hated when I played it.

I was a metastrag running ravager affinity and red deck wins like all the other tryhard nerds during Mirrodin. Things stayed pretty good for a little bit beyond then, the Ravnica block rerun of the multicolor theme of Invasion sets was a fun era to play with a lot of fairly balanced and viable decks in the meta.
Looking at the release dates now it appears the last time I was going to tournaments at all was 07-08. I sold my legacy/vintage collection right before the real boom happened with the growth of the Star City Games tournament series. What was ~11k USD would've doubled or tripled in value just a few years later.

I only remember everyone playing Broodstar and back then I hated blue (still do). I'm basically Timmy and love green.
Yea I was at tournaments during Urza's block, idk how many Gaea's Cradles I traded for bullshit cards, but I was like 10 so
Have you heard of /r/wsb?

I favored UG tempo decks whenever they were viable, as in Odyssey block Madness or Ravnica aggro-control (minus having a bad matchup against that RW aggro
) or Legacy format UG fish with Tarmogoyf. Shame that was rarely the case.
Broodstar was big in the block format but quickly got overshadowed by the Ravager variant in standard. I wasn't that big on Mirrodin overall because the artifact heavy nature made limited a bit RNG from what you got in the first 1-2 picks/pack of a draft. I scrubbed out of PTQs for the most part so my only "achievement" was having a top 10 limited ELO in my state way back when.
