Normally, when an expansion comes out, we have a certain amount of time to play with it, up to two years. But because of the pandemic, all public places to play are closed. So far, we lost about 7 months, and 3 standard expansions were released within that time, never having been used except in limited circumstances. I have two little i can play with, which is still very rare. My proposal is to let pandemic expansions remain rotated in for an additional year, so that we get a chance to play with our cards. Otherwise, what's the point of even buying cards?
The concern w this is lack of testing. Often, bans happen because lack of testing from Wizards misses a powerful interaction between cards. If you “retroactively” increase standard, things that may have been “safe” due to rotation may not play well. For example if fetches suddenly were still legal in landfall.
The one benefit “might” be a bigger card pool allowing more answers to exist.
This is an intriguing idea, but lack of testing a real concern. Also, the fact rotation already happened means many people dumped their cards and have to rebuy creating a “surge” to get former staples like hydroid krasis
