The Specialty Formats that receive scheduled events and prize support are primarily determined by how often the community plays them. We changed from Classic w/Vanguard to Core Set Constructed based on the community’s votes on 10/14/09 and now it is time to open it up for voting again.
Here’s how it works. Every 2 months we will create a “Choose your Specialty Format” blog post in the Magic Online group and list all of the formats you can choose from. Just let us know which format you would like to see supported by posting it in a comment (the poll feature is currently not working well). The format with the most votes will become a supported Specialty format (supported with constructed queues and Weekend Challenges). Once a format has been selected as a new Specialty Format, it won’t be eligible again for a minimum of 2 months, so don’t push for Core Set Constructed again until March, ok?
Here are this month’s formats to select from:
1. Classic Tribal Wars
2. Standard Tribal Wars
3. Classic w/Vanguard
4. Extended w/Vanguard
5. Duel Decks
6. Prismatic
7. Freeform
8. Kaleidoscope
9. Lorwyn/Shadowmoor Block
10. Ravnica Block
11. Tempest Block
12. Time Spiral Block
13. Alara Block
The next community selected Specialty Format will be announced on 1/5/2010 and will be supported from 1/7/2010 until 2/25/2010.
Prizes for this Specialty Format will be Magic 2010 boosters. So let us know what you would like to play next!
