Introducing Timeless, a New MTG Arena Format (magic.wizards.com)

Timeless is a new non-rotating, Constructed format where every card on MTG Arena is legal. This includes digital-only cards, the upcoming Khans of Tarkir set release, and any future set releases. Timeless will use the re-balanced versions of all digital-only cards, but the original tabletop printings of all non-digital cards.

Timeless will be the first format on MTG Arena to have a restricted list. If a card is on the restricted list, only a single copy of that card may be included in your deck and sideboard. Cards will have to earn their place on the banned and restricted list, and only those cards that have proven to be negative fun or far too powerful will be added.

The initial restricted list for Timeless includes only the following three cards:

Channel
Demonic Tutor
Tibalt's Trickery

I'm happy for those who wanted this, which I'm guessing is a lot of people. I'm curious to see if people are going to ditch Historic for this, I'm guessing people are going to focus on one of the two.

Personally, I think something like a Pauper queue would be way better. Something actually different from the formats that already exist in Magic Arena and something that new players get into very quickly. Or you know.... actual Pioneer.
