So, my playgroup has been getting a bit frustrated with the current character situation. We're seeing a lot of similar decks around featuring the better characters out there, Jin, Kazuya, Brian Fury, Astrid, etc. Since SC4-2 got pushed back into December and we're not seeing a big influx of new characters, we decided to try out a new format, of which I'm titling "Old Dogs, New Tricks"

• Format: Old Dogs, New Tricks
• Block: Current, except Character Cards. Any Legacy legal character may be in the deck.
• Other Limitations: None yet, as we're still trying this out

It's an interesting way to look at what character cards are playable now, and what character cards that were released a while back aren't as good as before, or some that blow away what's out there right now. Characters like ***Adon*** are just silly with Ragnar's and Astaroth's support. *Yun-Seong* without his momentum support becomes lousy. Can a ***Maxi*** deck using Ivy's support actually work? There's a lot out there to try out, hopefully it'll do a good job to tide us over until the next set is released (and quite a bit more characters).

Anyone out there going to give this a try? Any suggestions (Let's not hop on the ban wagon yet until we get some testing under it)?

we do this all the time. its great fun

Elena eats this format alive

Yeah we agreed to "ban" her from the format for now along with a few other characters that just cause problems

The reccursion right now is extremely limited (in the fact that it's very specific, and there's barely any of it.) so a character like litlith* might shine.

I think Adon 1 plus the entertainer. Would be so much fun with all of earth throws would make that deck so much fun. I would also love all the Ragnard support to make it that much better/
