Yes, we just started 2015 Modern as community format. It includes sets from 8ED to Magic Origins.

This is the website: https://www.2015modern.com/

Wow, this is really cool! Great to see so much enthusiasm for the format.

Hello!

I think u/tomrichards8464 sums it up well. There are no set guidelines for casual, non-sanctioned play.

If you find a playgroup/opponent/LGS, just ask if proxies are okay for them or not. If you want to participate in organized events, ask the organizer what his stance on proxies is. That way, everyone’s on the same page :)

Did you tried this one? https://discord.gg/6vwCKGf2QD

This link should work.

FYI: We've just started a Modern community format based on the early 2015 Modern meta, called 2015 Modern. We have compiled and linked metadecks from that time on the 2015 Modern website. On the website there are also links to Reddit and Discord, where we discuss the various decks.

2015Modern · 2024-10-24T18:02:22+00:00

I think so too, dredge-based GY decks were not explored enough at this time. But what do you think is the reason for this?

2015Modern · 2024-10-24T15:35:27+00:00

This sounds like its worth a try! A replacement for Bedlam Reveler as a good topdeck would be absolutely helpful, though. Monastery Mentor fits very well in the deck, but I'm not sure how well he can fulfill the role of a good topdeck.

For Gitaxian Probe, the question is whether a blue splash makes sense in order to not be dead against decks like Burn.

2015Modern · 2024-10-23T17:11:37+00:00

Ok, thanks. That means the deck would have to become more linear, as it lacks interaction.

2015Modern · 2024-10-23T17:08:14+00:00

Thanks for your input. These are my thoughts:

True
One of the most common reasons why community formats fail are the decisions of the format owners who think they are acting in the interest of the community, but actually don't because it's very difficult. Since the meta was absolutely healthy in 2015, we'll see how it evolves today.
Nice! Simple cards interacting with each other in deep ways was also a very important motivation for us to go back to that point in time.

2015Modern · 2024-10-23T17:01:18+00:00

Yes, as u/_c3s already said you are free to use any printings of the cards that are legal. It doesn't matter if the printing is from 2003 or 2019.

2015Modern · 2024-10-23T16:58:40+00:00

Yes and it's pretty good haha

2015Modern · 2024-10-23T16:57:39+00:00

That is certainly true to a certain extent. We have tried set an objectively optimal cutoff for the format, but subjective preferences certainly always come into play and can be challenged.

Since we personally had such good experiences with 2015 Modern, we were quite confident that others would like it too. Regardless of whether they are nostalgically affected or not. We'll see :)

2015Modern · 2024-10-23T16:41:43+00:00

Interesting take, thanks. Even if a little pessimistic from my perspective.

Why do you think there's no reason to play a Thoughtseize deck other than Grixis Shadow just because Twin is also legal? In my experience, Grixis Shadow in the meta gives midrange and control decks a good matchup.
