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

@MysticKetchup @SteveHeist standard has issues when power creep is strong, as other formats resemble it too much. Control power creep better and that isn't such a problem.
