Here's a new format I've been thinking of...
It's called Top Deck.
Each player's beginning library consists of 1 copy of every card printed not on the banned list. Reprinted cards and alternative artwork cards have only 1 copy including basic lands.
Cards from the Unhinged and Unglued expansions are banned.
The Following are also Banned: Channel, Counterbalance, Erratic Explosion, Howltooth Hollow, Kaboom!, Land Tax, Mindslaver, Riddle of Lightning, Shadow of Doubt, The Rack, Tolarian Academy, Undying Flames, Yawgmoth's Will, Zur's Weirding
Each player starts with 1 card of their choosing from their library.
At the beginning of a match, one player selected at random chooses to play or draw.
The following alterations to the standard rules apply:
Each time a player would draw a card, they instead choose a card from their library and put it into their hand.
Each time a player would return a card from the graveyard to the library, they remove the card from the game instead.
Each time a player would reveal the top card of their library, they choose the card revealed, however this will be their next draw unless their library is shuffled.
Each time a spell, ability, or effect would cause a player to draw more than one card during a turn, they draw one card instead.
Each time an spell, ability, or effect would cause a player to remove more than one card from their library during a turn, they remove only one card instead.
Each time a spell, ability, or effect would cause a player to reveal more than one card from their library during a turn, they reveal only one card instead.
The maximum hand size is 1.
At the conclusion of each game, remove all cards in play, all revealed cards, and all cards in the graveyard from the game. The remaining cards in the library are used for the next game.
Each Match is a best of 5 series.
The loser of a game chooses whether to play or draw the next game.
------------------------------------------
Alternative Limited version - each library consists of all cards from a single Block (Mirage-Visions-Weatherlight for example), however there are 50 copies of each basic land (and basic snow land) rather than only one.
_____________________
The format is still a work in progress, other changes may occur.
5/15 - Clarified draw effects are per turn like reveal and remove effects on library.
5/15 - Added if a library is shuffled, the top revealed card does not have to be the next draw - the card is still removed after the game since it was revealed.
5/24 - updated Banned List using Turgy's suggestions.
