There have been concerns from the community regarding the Tribal format. The Magic Online Banned and Restricted committee does plan to examine this format in a future update, but this has not yet occurred.

The acknowledgement of our concerns is both unexpected and welcome. We look forward with great interest to what you do with the inconsistencies.

Thanks for acknowledging the concerns for Classic Tribal. There's a plethora of background work done in various articles on PureMTGO, namely

and

puremtgo.com/articles/state-program-dece...

For some thoughts from the players. :)

Recurring Nightmare is banned in EDH but still allowable in Commander, and I'm beginning to see decks start to abuse this difference.
But more importantly, Painter's Servant recently got the ban-hammer in paper due to the unfun game state it creates with Iona.

I guess what I'm really interested in knowing is whether or not Commander is receiving any attention and if you (WotC) are interested in maintaining a strict parity between paper and online or if Commander is going to grow as a separate format.
