540 "competitive" unpowered designed around a fast environment. Aggro is the strongest deck with about a 55% win rate which is roughly where I want to be when it comes to balance. The format does not include cards which tends to produce non-starter experiences. This of course excludes power but extends to lesser offenders like Balance, Twist, Winter Orb, True-Name Nemesis, Oko, etc.
The 540 size is getting to the point where new cards printed are not automatically included because they are good enough, but get added to the list because it belongs in the format and adds dimension. While I do still play weaker cards in certain areas as role fillers that is becoming less frequent in recent years.
My list has a rich history across several online platforms that has been documented in my google spreadsheet. You can see every one for one change dating back to the alpha list in early 2011 which was built from scratch.

Evenings, for the most part my group has given up the desire to cube overall and as a result it sees very little play if any. As a result it is not worth acquiring cards on an ongoing basis to keep it updated. So this list will remain static for now.
At some point over the next while I may transition towards updating it occasionally but without the playtests that usually come with cementing the card choices. Did cube the other week with 4 mana Sheoldred which wrecked me which is not in the official list currently.
Kind of a shame but it is what it is. Thanks for anyone who likes to follow or check up on the list for any updates over the years.
