Well this multiverse is doomed. Commander is not constructed.
You construct a deck, therefore it's constructed. It's not on that list because it's not an official tournament format.

Commander is not constructed. www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Resources.aspx...
GoM is for casual.
It is a Constructed format. It just is not a sanctioned format.
I think Gem of Becoming  should have been an enchantment. These types of abilities work well on enchantments, and I do not see the need for it to tap.
Gem of Becoming
Enchantment
 , Sacrifice Gem of Becoming: Search your library for an Island card, a Swamp card, and a Mountain card. Reveal those cards and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

A colorless enchantment? There's a word for those: they're called "artifacts".

Good point. As an enchantment, it would only work in green, which ruins the point of the card.

Thank you for getting rid of the stupid lucky charms cycle. Everytime I open those in a pack it makes me want to rip it up. The only one that I have ever played in any format was dragon's claw in the mirror mono red match.... and that was miserable.

Well for the non-squee ones, they don't have cards themselves so that makes it more awesome.
Just for fun, I decided to search for every single card with Urza in its name or flavor text. Not counting Un-cards, 101. That's not including the three blocks named after him.
Not that I'm complaining; I liked learning about Urza or Yawgmoth through the cards. It's just that I never got why people complain about cards like Chandra's Phoenix  while pining for the old days of the Weatherlight Crew or Urza being present on the cards, even though that's exactly what happened back then.
And how does it make it "more awesome" that they don't have cards (Not counting Blind Seer  or Yawgmoth Demon  , which was the obvious inspiration for Gix in The Brothers' War)?

You also construct a deck after drafting, therefore drafting is constructed...
Just like how the 'fight' ability does not deal 'combat damage', Magic lingo is not always the literal meaning of a word.
Within the game of Magic, Constructed refers to a subset of sanctioned formats.

I always thought the formats were divided into "Constructed" which were played using decks you brought from home made from cards you owned, and "Limited" which were decks built out of cards you got through the event only (Sealed and draft).
Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights.
But you yourself are nothing so divine.
Just next in line.

The opening paragraph is wrong. MTG has not snapped back, Its sets are boring and bland.
No combo, control is nerf'd, I will not be buying a single product from wotc, if there is actually a card I like I will be buying singles.
Sets are a joke anymore I like that there redoing the core with new cards and less reprints of specific cards but the same annoying theme is annoying theme.
I want over powered over played soon to be banned BS cause that gives creativity in designing new decks.
I miss combo winter and Black summer, I don't want token aggro - spring - summer - fall - winter.
Another lame token year, mediocre reprints and mediocre cards in general.
Nicol was useless when he was first printed, made him a walker still useless, reprint still useless.
The m10 lands are great but honestly another year of the same land set? I can see it keeps costs down for the secondary market but we want something better!
Flavor is a joke we want cards!

if you believe all of that, I have three questions:
1) why are you reading an article titled coming home to flavor?
2) why are you still into magic?
3) WHY ARE YOU WASTING TIME COMPLAINING? You have already said you will not buy anymore cards. What do you care then?
And the land sets should never change, they are for those of us who like competitions but don't want to sell ourselves out by splurging on different duals every year.
No my real question: WHY IS EXALTED BLACK?????!!!!!! Black is not about a single glorious champion doing battle, it is about hordes of expendable followers supplicating awful tyrants. The tyrants are not champions, and they see their minions as bags of flesh with power and toughness that should be used for their despicable ends.
