Standard No Longer Makes Sense for Magic (www.hipstersofthecoast.com)

Posting for discussion. Personally I don't agree, aside from it being the most popular format on Arena, I think it serves as sort of a load-bearing pillar for Magic. Even if it doesn't seem popular right now I feel like removing it would have ripple effects that would hurt Magic overall

I see what he's saying but I think removing Standard would be a colossal mistake. They would have to replace it with some other low powered constructed format because I think that is in fact a big market of competitive players.

Yeah, this is basically what I was trying to say, put much more succinctly.
