The intention of Block was to give players a glimpse of the format after rotation, with the players working with the cards that would stay around. In practice, it tended to be a futile exercise: staples were printed with rotation in mind, hence some formats had core pieces missing that would never be missing in any Standard, a cycle of dual lands being missing epitomizing this issue.
If the current block was too weak, the next block informs the Standard format and the decks shown are quaint; if the current block is too strong, the decks on display are going to be prevalent ad nauseum: neither were desirable and rarely was there middle ground.
According to Mark Rosewater , Block has proven over time to be an unpopular format almost exclusively played because Wizards of the Coast required it at Pro Tours and Pro Tour Qualifiers. He stated that it was being phased out because players almost never played it of their own volition. MTG Wiki Explore. Main Page All Pages. Explore Wikis Community Central.

Is Jund Control gonna be viable again? However, Planeswalkers were not played and definitely will be played now.
I can definitely see something like 4 Huntmaster 4 Garruk 3 Liliana 4 Curse etc. Posted March 22, I think 4 curse and 4 lily are to much, The bloodgifts are amazing still.
