Well there is XMage, which is working pretty good and only has hell of an UI. That would also make people able to play with any deck they like. Even if our tournament is in vintage. xD
I really like the Idea of it and with XMage it would be quite easy to make.

All my decks are 15 years old, I definitely want to play vintage 😂

Well vintage is probably too complicated of a format. xD It has a very unique playstyle. I think modern would be the "best" format for such a tournament. But Standard/Legacy might be worth a try as well xD

I'm honestly not sure as of what the different formats mean and what their complications are. My decks are mostly cards from 2000-2008 or so I think. I stopped playing with all these ghost decks and ninjas I think.

Yeah i know. It's a really complicated thing. The formats are a hard thing. But i can try to explain the most important.

• Standard: The last few sets of the last 2-3 Years are all playable. Hardly any bans because of OP cards.
• Modern: Was introduced with the 8th edition because WotC realized the cards they printed were too powerful. Some banned cards because they are too strong(~20)
• Legacy: Nearly all cards are playable. Just very few banned. Already pretty absurd because of all the cards.
• Vintage: Pretty much every card is allowed. Even cards like the power nine, which is worth a few thousand dollars, if you want to buy them. That's why it is nearly only played digitally.

It seems that cards like http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=221808&part=Platinum+Angel are legal in all formats. I think my decks are perfectly fine, just a bit rusty 😅
