Move expanded dailies to their own day!

I would have to disagree with any 2pm,4pm,6pm,8pm schedule.  I can see TinkerT in four tournaments at 8:05 PM.  Overlap would add to our headaches.

Okay, what about a 3-hour separation?

Something like 12n, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm?

With the latest reset, Expanded Dailies have been removed from the roster. The reason given is that they were not popular enough. I've countered that the reason Expanded Dailies didn't do better, is that they were scheduled at the same time as the Movie Dailies, which were much more established at that time. I think now is the PERFECT time to re-establish Expanded Dailies ON THEIR OWN DAY, because with the reset no competing daily is more established. We're all starting over with our collections, and players can choose which Daily they want to work towards playing in. With the current situation, with no Expanded Dailies even existing, players have no reason to work towards an Expanded My Cards deck. Yet again, Expanded Format is getting the shaft, even though it's generally very close with Movie in terms of popularity. (and don't get me started on how long it's been since we had an Expanded League!)

For reference, here's the percentage popularity of the top 4 formats, by month, working backwards for the past 9 months (I'm showing the top 4 to illustrate how dramatic the drop-off in popularity is after the top 3):

1/14
Fellowship block------40.0%
Movie block------------24.9%
Expanded   -------------22.2%
Towers standard------3.7%

12/13
Fellowship block------34.4%
Movie block------------29.1%
Expanded   --------------20.4%
Towers standard-------5.8%

11/13
Fellowship block------32.9%
Movie block------------29.8%
Expanded   --------------19.2%
Towers standard-----10.0%

10/13
Fellowship block------35.2%
Movie block------------28.7%
Expanded   2249-------20.6%
Towers standard------5.8%

9/13
Fellowship block------35.2%
Movie block------------26.6%
Expanded   2465-------21.3%
Towers block------------6.1%

8/13
Fellowship block------38.8%
Expanded   --------------22.6%
Movie block------------20.7%
Open---------------------4.1%

7/13
Fellowship block------37.1%
Movie block------------22.2%
Expanded   --------------20.4%
Towers standard-------5.4%

6/13
Fellowship block------36.7%
Expanded   --------------22.9%
Movie block------------22.1%
Towers standard-------7.1%

5/13
Fellowship block------34.9%
Expanded   --------------25.6%
Movie block------------24.0%
Towers block------------4.5%

I think those numbers speak for themselves.

And when WAS the last time we had an Expanded League? It feels like forever!
