Here's some quick info about the Extended format, which we will be playing this weekend at noon. It is similar to Standard in play style and mechanics, but encompasses about twice as many sets, including the following:
- Core Sets: 10th Edition, Magic 2010, and Magic 2011
- Time Spiral block: Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, and Future Sight
- Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block: Lorwyn, Morningtide, Shadowmoor, and Eventide
- Alara block: Shards of Alara, Conflux, and Alara Reborn
- Zendikar block: Zendikar, Worldwake, and Rise of the Eldrazi
I'm not nearly as familiar with the main decks in Extended as I am with Standard, but I know that a lot of popular standard decks like Jund, Mono-Red, and White Weenie are still around in Extended in slightly different adaptations. Some "old Standard" decks, especially the Lorwyn tribal decks like Faeries, Elves, and Merfolk, are also played. Some control variants also exist, and there's nothing that says you can't make up your own decks! There are many cards to pick from, and I'm sure there are plenty of good deck ideas I'm not even aware of.
If you need some help making your deck, feel free to visit me in the SUB on Friday between noon and 4:30 - I should be there for casual games, deckbuilding help, and for people to redeem the packs they won on Saturday. Shoot me an email if you have any questions and I hope to see lots of you on Saturday!
