Today Lee Sharpe announced two new play experiences coming to Magic Online in the new year.
Following up on the success on the Year of Modern Flashbacks the program will implement Flashback Favorites. These leagues will allow players to experience some of the most beloved draft formats of all time. These events will not be Phantom and will instead use cards that will stay in a digital collection. In order to facilitate more games a league run will end after a player achieves three match wins or two match losses.
The other event will be a Throwback Standard Gauntlet. The Gauntlet league will feature some of the best decks, as curated by Randy Buehler, from former Standard environments. So if you ever want to play Upheaval-Psychatog against Mono-Black Control, 2017 may be your chance.
