Training grounds is wonderful in its own right but since the block restrictions have come out, it's difficult to test block restricted deck builds in an unrestricted environment.

So my suggestion is this: could you guys create a Block restricted Training grounds? This would go a long ways to helping understand the mechanics and synergy of restricted decks prior to using then for events that have more weight for deck effectiveness.  

Thank you

    ^ this. Please.

    Story mode isn't a great alternative to test deck ideas. Plus training grounds specifically is, from your perspective, "the perfect place to test new decks"

    It fails at this when it still has a saved event deck slot (why???) making it so every opponent you face is a crazy Kiora/Koth/Nahiri deck with every ridiculous card largely from sets now not even legal in standard.

    Yeah, I like this suggestion. If we're going to have Standard, we need a Standard testing environment.

    Yes, please this! Would be so great. There's already a post in the Suggestions forum.

    Yeah... and give each PW a Standard and a Legacy deck slot.

    Glad I'm not the only one to feel this way!

    Yep, I'm on board with this too. Although there is some satisfaction in using your standard deck to beat Olivia+Ulrich+Pig in training grounds.

    Maybe have the current rewards for training grounds be for standard, and a Legacy training grounds where a certain win-percentage gets you some jewels every day?

    Also, and maybe I'm being ridiculous here, but could weekend training grounds give out an Amonkhet rare for like, 10 wins or something? Would be a good way to start getting some decent decks off the ground.

     Maybe like a 72 hour weekend QB of sorts... But standard only and ranked.
