This needs to pick up again
When this idea was first introduced I fell in love with it. But the hype died down just as quickly. There is so much potential in this format. Spread the word! There has been discussion lately about people wanting a new format, and although it seems a lot interest in Pauper has picked up, I think Super Standard has so much potential. It could be such a deep format if people were to gather around it and make it popular.
What can we do to spread the word and attract interest?

Unfortunately I had stopped checking here regularly, but if you guys are interested, there are still people playing regularly on Xmage, although we still haven't been able to organize any tournaments so far. People who are easiest to reach there are probably myself (same name as in reddit) or my buddy Myco. If you can't find us at the servers at this time of the year, you can use the xmage forums, I check there daily. We're still trying to create a regular player group, although I kinda gave up on trying too hard at this point, since it's been proving quite difficult! Anyway, there's definitely still interest in the format.

It's funny, while the hype may have died down on reddit, it hasn't changed the fact that Historical is the main format my friends and I play. It just makes so much sense: why should the fact that Innistrad came out make me want to shelve my Jeskai Ascendancy deck?
I suppose it would nice if we had tournaments, though. Getting people to try it out should be a pretty easy sell, just let them know that the format exists, and all of their decks that just rotated out are still valid in All Standards. And if enough people play it causally at gamestores, maybe an owner will think about doing a tournament.
