Hi guys,
I am creating this specific thread to give you an opportunity to let us know what changes , improvements or updates you believe that Prismatic needs to stay fun and viable on Magic Online.
I will then take your collected feedback to R&D and Dev to see what we can and should do for this format.
Tell us what you think!
Mike Gills

#1 issue that makes it impossible for me to think of any other issue is the somewhat comical state of the Prismatic B&R best place as any to look is this thread. If you'd prefer a summary of it feel free to let me know and I'd be more than willing to provide it.

A summary would probably be a good idea, IA4L. I've played a little Prismatic, and most recently experimented with a 'monocoloured' deck using hybrid to meet the color requirements. It's a fascinating and fun format, but not my area of expertise.

#1 - Banned and restricted list (as iceage mentioned).
#1a - A clear goal for the format. Telling us what you want Prismatic to be allows us to help you achieve the goal.
#2 (technical issue) - Better deck searching while in game. The load time for lower end systems is pretty heavy.
#3 (technical issue) - Initially loading the deck takes a lot longer in V3 than it did in V2.
#4 (technical issue) - Sometimes the deck says it's legal in the deck editor but then you can't use it in a game (deck too small).
#5 (technical issue) - A filter for the deck editor screen that shows only legal cards in the format. With the large and changing list of cards it would be nice to have them auto-excluded.
#6 Revisit the sideboard stats. 15 cards in a sideboard of a 250 card deck is largely futile. Something like 50 would actually allow you to change the way the deck plays.
I thought I had more, if I remember them I'll add them.

A request that applies to all formats: allow the deckbuilding filters to apply to the deck and sideboard as well as the collection. For instance, it would be especially useful for singleton prismatic if I could view only the cards of a single colour that are already in my deck. Same for casting cost, card type etc.

1) Fix the B&R List. Please read through the thread Ice Age mentioned. The 5 color B&R list is a good place to start!
2) Fix Big Deck Mulligans in duels (and ESPECIALLY in premier events)

Definitely read the thread that IA4L and Maondas mentioned. There have been several other posts in the forms through the years, but this current one basically is a summary of everything that has come before.
The format needs consistancy in its B/R list, and I do think it shoudl be a B/R list not a banned only list. Currently the List is completely inconsistent with the actual card pool. Tutors really need to be a limited part of the format to allow for a wide range of deck types and strategies.
I also agree with Hamtastic's technical issues and have two more:
Technical Issue - Fix Panglacial Wurm. This is a staple card for the format and I do not believe it has ever worked 100% correctly.
Technical Issue - for searching in game offer an optional spreadsheet view so that it does not bog down machines trying to load all of the pictures at once.
I would also like to add that it would greatly benefit the format to get many of these things sorted out before the PE scheduled in November. The current B/R list is just ridiculous. The absolute best tutor in the game for this format is legal (demonic consultation), while Diabolic Tutor is banned and others even worse. If it is not possible to fix the B/R list until the next round in December, I would suggest moving the PE after that date with time for players to adjust decks or give players advanced warning of the coming changes to the list. Otherwise it is telling everyone that for this tournament you all have to go out and buy playsets of these specific cards to have a shot, but we are going to ban them right after the tournament. That just leaves a bad taste in player's mouths.
Its great to finally see action on these formats

Can we get any sort of word on the B/R list for this format?
It is really the single most important thing holding the format back.

Everything that Hammy said, as well as the big deck mulligan.

Hi guys, Since Prismatic is one of the most played formats in casual play, it is one of the two casual formats selected to be turned on this Wednesday with 4-man queues. Even more so with Prismatic than with Singleton we haven't been been keeping up with the banned/restricted lists and/or other improvements for the casual formats and now we want to remedy that. Don't necessarily look to our past policies about banning all tutor-like cards though for these future improvements though. The 4-player queue that gets turned on this Wednesday will use the current rules and banned list http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Articl … /prismatic. We will then take the next couple of weeks to review the data from decks that are played, read and discuss all of your comments and suggestions, and then come up with updates for this format. We will definitely make some needed improvements on this format prior to its scheduled weekend PE in November. Thanks! Mike Gills
