Please consider adding the following if people approve... Leagues  ____________________________________ Pre-Construct Leagues. Preferably similiar to old Arena style, two weeks with just the Pre-con, then two weeks with up to 15 cards added. Heck, I'd even take having to purchase X boosters on the 3rd week and add the cards from there. "High Stakes" league where Prizes are only top 8. (Yes, I know we go back to release problems with leagues, but if WOTC is actively investigating collusion it might be doable now) Vanguard Leagues. Formats ____________________________________ Friday Night Magic, with corresponding Prizes. Prizes  ____________________________________ Perhaps bring back the 6x9 prize cards as an additional League Prize. Make it you have to play all of your counting games to aquire the 6x9 in order to encourage people to not drop in the last week or two so that more people stay the entire league. Redemption  ______________________________________ Consider adding a "Promo" set(s) where the above FNM and/or 6x9's would be valid for redemption. That's all the Non-Arguement inducing suggestions I have atm. Btw, nice work on the list. Couldn't have been easy to do. Edit- One more. Newb Mode _______________________________________ Maybe training room only, where AI actively halts at appropriate stops so that new Players can learn the importance of timing steps correctly, like Damage Prevention, or like stopping at the opposing Player's EOT if you have something on the board you could use. Be a tough one to do, but as a learning tool, invalueable. Edit 2- With a corresponding text box so the newb knows why it stopped. Like... (Stops at Damage Dealing step) "You have a card that prevents damage, if you wish to prevent damage to yourself or one of your creatures, this is the last chance you have to do so. When the next step begins, you can no longer prevent this damage" or (Stops at opposing player's EOT) "You have a Jayemdae Tome and sufficient Mana to activate it. Often, experienced players will wait until their opponents EOT to activate this ability as it leaves Mana untapped in case you need to counter an opponents move, or simply to bluff the opponent into thinking you *Might* be able to counter him".

»Replays - Ability to replay by Game Number. Perhaps implemented as "/replay XXXXXXXXX". If the game is set to "no watchers", and error should pop-up stating such.
- Ability to change views. Essentially, the ability to see everyone's hand.
My signature was forever lost with the boards migration.

Gameplay
A better undo function. Make it a parameter when starting games that players can take back a move. Fx. choosing the wrong spell in hand, an effect using the wrong color of mana, misclicking on a the wrong target etc.
Formats
Introduce the ability to create rules for games, like if you want to play a prismatic sigleton game with only commons. A (much) longer lidt of fixed rules would be almost as nice, as it would make it easier to find opponents (not all may have build a prismatic singleton common deck).
Interface
I want to be able to maximize a window in one click.

Collection
Have a way of saving your current trade configuration. I have had to go through my collection with a fine-tooth comb because I may be ahppy to trade cards I know I will never use, even though I have less than 4 of them. If I wanted to show you all my cards, I would lose my current carefully mapped configuration. I want to be able to save it to a file.
Trading
Remove the upper limit of 32 objects per trade (affectionately know as the "scam limit")
Formats:
New Draft format - no entry fee, no prize, just for fun
- 8 players each select 45 cards from their collection in a distribution of 8 cards of each colour and 5 artifacts.
- The 8x45 cards make up the draft pool. These are shuffled into random "boosters" by the system.
- Players draft from these boosters as normal
- Rounds are played as normal
- Everyone takes their own 45 cards away at the end
Rooms
- Retitle the Anything Goes room to be 'Casual'
- Retitle the Casual Room to be 'Casual - Deck/Card Restrictions Allowed'
This puts the onus on the whiners/quitters to go to the non-standard room to play Casual Magic, instead of putting it on the people who are actually playing the game as intended. As things stand, teh AG room is useless so I play in Casual a lot, yet people concede on me all the time, for the slightest of reasons. This is annoying.
Deck Building
- Save a 'finished' flag with deck files. Once this flag has been set to true, maintain win/loss records (or perhaps a points or "level" system) for the deck within the .dec file (or wherever). If the deck is edited at all, this record is reset to zero.
- Add an auto-matching system that will seek out games for you where the enemy deck has a similar ratio (or "level") to one you are using.
This gives better game quality and reduces the chance of a stale game where one deck is much more powerful than the other.
Miscellaneous
- Ban Skullclamp from Singleton, it is currently skewing and ruining the format
- Prevent Wishing from collection - it's broken

This list is very good and important. Thanks for the maintainers and for WizOs for sticky.
That said, I'll make a couple of non-important suggestions (most of the good ones are already done!):
Formats or Miscellaneous (I'll let the maintainer decide :P):
-Make sure that the custom formats can include game altering rules (e.g. Howling mine always in play for player X, or for all players). As a corollary, enable a player to create custom formats that emulate having Vanguard abilities WITHOUT having the Vanguard cards/avatars (paper players can do this. So should we)
-Revise the Tribal, Singleton and prismatic bans list, namely Tribal (I suggest unbanning Peer Pressure and Unnatural Selection, which are totally harmless in the format compared to many much more powerful cards that are rightly allowed in there). The custom formats should of course let players that so desire play in the formats with card X allowed or card Y disallowed, but as TGV says putting the onus on these players.
-In contrast with a item already in the list (which I seriously disagree with - making 3 CVP cards legal in online ext): Ban 3 CVP cards from ALL sanctionable formats (This now includes Prismatic, Tribal and Singleton, as they made sanctioned events with them). I suggest that this is enforced similarly to the wishes to sideboard rule, on any timed game (even if casual, so you can do tournament practice without problems etc).
EDIT: One thing that I didn't see suggested in the list yet was to make drafts or other events that are about to fire check for disconnected players. Then drop the players that are disconnected instead of starting with them. Make this an option for the player (namely, I might want a sealed tournament to start even if I'm not there, but not for drafts for example)
A comment, I see that people are starting to make duplicate suggestions without checking to see the ones on the list. I'm not sure what should be done about this as we can't force ppl to read, but this is annoying at the very least.
Ivo.

Trading
*Make the Auctiuon room Offical, and make it so you may only post numbers in there if your not the neer. Neer should be picked by the previous neer or if no neer the firstone who press a sirtain buttomn. It should be an automated lister.
*A special room for Unspecified traders (2 for 1 rares, 32 unc for 1 etc) and one for specified trades (buying BoP 10, selling Spiritmonger 15 etc)
This idea is good since we would also get all boots in 1 room (for those who complain on them.)
General
*Make the avatar animation nicer. Its really useless now.

"Make the Auctiuon room Offical, and make it so you may only post numbers in there if your not the neer."
I'm not sure why you'd want this. The ability of the neer to bid before everyone else is the reason most people neer. If you take this way, you might reduce the number of willing neers. Anyways, most neers just use 2nd accounts to 'cheat' on the bidding.
