Hi all, so on Reddit there has been a small movement happening. With the announcement of Eternal Masters coming out there is a flow of mixed feeling in most people. For those that play Legacy already, there is a breath of life that they feel this set will bring more people. Things like Force of Will and Wasteland are confirmed to be reprinted and there are many other speculated cards that are to be reprinted. There then are others that feel while this set is going to be great, there comes the realization that while the spoiled cards are high priced and Eternal Maters will bring down the price, this set will not reprint anything on the Reserve list and that those cards, like the duels and Lions Eye Diamond, will reamin to be the biggest barrier to playing Legacy. This is already has spiked cards like Tropical Island by $50, the same with Lion's Eyes Diamond. This is making it so that unless you already have RL (Reserve List) cards, you still may never be able play Legacy.

From the FAQ on the subreddit: Eternal magic is a competitive format that does not include reserved list cards. The popularity of modern comes from the mix of power level and availability of cards. There is no doubt that players wish to play legacy as it is a much more complex and intuitive format. With the upcoming set EMA, there will be a large influx of cards available to be played in eternal formats, however the barrier will always be the restricted list cards which we have already seen spike beyond reason. The fact is that new supply of these cards will never be made and we as a community must adapt to that. This format will not be legacy, and it will not be modern. It will evolve it's own meta-game with cards that need to be removed from the format or added as appropriate. This will be done as a community.

We are serious about getting this format going and to make it evolve in such away that it can coexist with the other formats. We do not want to take over Legacy or Modern. We want our own format that we can Force of will someones Splinter twin as an example. We want to have access to these powerful and iconic spells with out having to spend $1000 on just 4 lands. Please join us as we work out details and strive to create this format. This is a community driven format that will discuss cards and talk about it before bans happen. All decisions will be based on how the players feel about them.
