The Formats Contest vote is now open!
Over the past few weeks, four community teams have put together complete format proposals to replace the temporary Standard All Uniques on BGA. Each one takes a different approach to the same challenge: making uniques accessible to everyone — no digital ownership required — while keeping competitive play healthy and fun.
The two formats with the highest ratings will enter a community testing phase on BGA, where we'll play them, stress-test them, and decide together whether one of them becomes the new competitive and Arena format.
Before you vote, I'd strongly recommend reading the full presentation of the four submissions — it covers each format's concept, how uniques work, how problematic cards are handled, and links to the complete PDFs from each team:

How the vote works
You rate each of the four formats independently on a scale from 1 (strongly oppose) to 6 (strongly support). No need to pick a single favourite — if you like two of them, you can back both fully. The two highest-rated formats win.

Voting closes May 30 at 23:59 UTC — results on May 31.
Go read, go vote, and let's shape the next chapter of Altered together.
