My friends and I like to do a similar thing, play in older ban lists similar to this one. And what I have realized throughout constant playing with these formats is that they weren't as broke as most make them out to be. Sure CED was indeed broke and bad for the game. But when both players have cards like pot of greed, delinquant duo the pluses from them tend to even themselves out and winning the games depends on making the right plays and gaining the advantage through skill.
Im playing goat format actually, im from Mexico, with my friends and some people likes to play these old formats, also play 2011 format before xyz came out.
@dubkdad1 I'm majorly enjoying these videos, D. Keep 'em coming. Send me a deck list, I have most of the stuff to build several of the banned decks. I'm waiting for the Airblade format decks.
