Competitive-Format Wishlist - Add to MTGO

MTGO Regular
83% of the cards in those two sets are available online, via the Masters Editions and other reprints. (Homelands, however, was released October 1995, I believe, so wouldn't really qualify as '93-'94. Fallen Empires was the last set released in 1994. Nothing after that would qualify.)

My mistake. But still, there's Old School 93/94 and Old School 95 too. They both still need some "unreleased" old cards to complete the deck. Not just Homelands or Fallen Empires, but also Alpha / Beta cards. and even other format players need those old cards for their decks, For example, cEDH players need [[Sacrifice]] for Mono Black decks, Premodern players need [[Initiates of the Ebon Hand]] for their Cleric decks, and so on. I apologize for misunderstanding, But I still suggest releasing "unreleased" 93-95 era cards, for many players.

"Rust" is a great include for pauper cycle storm among other graveyard based decks like dredge, altar tron and one land spy.

Pauper would greatly benefit from the following cards:

Rust
Remove Enchantment


The first one is probably the one with the most potential in the current metagame. It did see play in tabletop, as it is a good way to address graveyard hate from cards like Nihil Spellbomb and Relic of Progenitus.
The second one also saw play in tabletop, albeit the meta now doesn't need such an aswer as much as it may've needed in the past. The card is a good way to deal with Auras deck like Bogles Hexproof and White Heroic.

There is also cards missing from MTGO, like Equinox, but that likely wouldn't see that much play... But the other two I mention are definitely good additions choices for the online metagame
Just read this after asking for Rust to be added. Add Rust!

In addition to the great suggestions in this thread, I believe "Curie, Emergent Intelligence" has competitive implications and would love to see it added to MTGO. Thank you.

I have scoured and scoured trying to find the best place for this. If I have made a mistake, please direct me towards the right place to post about this (if there is one). I was advised that the Backlog would be a good place for something like this, but alas, I don't have the permissions to post there.

To put it briefly, recently I added a card to my MTGO deck that has a card from the Portal (1997) set. It came up as a red-bordered card because the card has not been implemented into Magic Online. It seems like none of the cards from the Portal set are actually implemented in Magic online.

Here I would like to officially request that all of the older sets be released into Magic Online fully. Magic Online has the most important thing - an extremely vast roster - and that's why I like it so much. Are there any plans to implement all the other sets into Magic Online soon? I would imagine that this would be among the highest of high priority items, and if it's not, my vote goes to making it so.

If you have any insight into this probability, please share it, if you could.

Clowning Around and Clown Car from Unfinity are both seeing competitive play. These two powerful aggro cards should be relatively straightforward to implement, as they utilize existing game mechanics.
Seconding this comment, now that we have Duel Commander as a competitive format, clowning around is ever more relevant considering the convoke commanders that came out.
