I was under the impression there wasn’t.

You are missing some cards, 90% of decks need 4 FOW’s, which aren’t cheap, and they don’t have enough people playing. I would love for them to take Classic off the competitive list because in paper it’s basically a watered down version of Vintage.

I would rather play Modern which is a much more wide open format. There is no reason for a person to pay 500-1K tickets for a deck that has no community support except for the other 20 or so Legacy/Classic players out there.

With fetch lands and shock lands being affordable and modern being a much more wide open and fun format with a lack of turn 1 kills (Google Classic: Metalworker, Bazaar of Baghdad, Doomsday, etc..), people should use the money they would spend on 1 Force of Will and buy a playset of every fetch land with money left over to buy some Restoration Angels.

Leave the Legacy/Classic to IRL where you can actually receive prize support and play in PTQ’s, SCG opens, etc..
