Honestly, despite being an older player, I'd prefer playing a Type 2 block of some sort or else just limiting the whole thing to 10th edition. Quite simply, Magic has been around long enough now where "older cards" is going to be a really relative term; when I first started playing Revised had just came out, whereas "old" to others might mean something from 2001. No matter what we pick there's likely going to be someone who's out of the loop when it comes to the cards available, so we might as well limit the pool of cards we're using in the interest of fairness and to keep the whole thing from being overwhelming.
