we don't mind playing one round of the 'Austrian' format although I'm not sure if it's balanced. 'Old' players don't know any of the new cards so there would be an advantage for the 'newer' players...
Firstly, Austrian Format was created, to give all player the chance, to take part in a tournament. Many player decided to leave game after
mount doom, others never ever had a preshadow card.
Furthermore, Editions 1-10 have to be balanced, because its movie block, and no one complains obout it, right?
7-18 have also to be balanced, because it is standard!
Another reason to write now, is to keep this topic recent.
kind regards
