LOST COMIC: Frontier (Patreon)

You can see previous posts from the "lost comic" series here. This comic was drawn in 2016. As the first panel summarizes, people were starting to worry that Modern was getting too expensive, so they were looking for an alternative nonrotating format. To meet this need, a format called Frontier started gaining popularity, which began mostly in Japan. I was always a little skeptical of the format because it was dominated by cards from the Khans of Tarkir era Standard, which were a bunch of expensive "good stuff" decks because the mana was so excellent. Anyway, once WotC announced Pioneer, there was no need for Frontier anymore and it died away.
