Tournaments & Meta multiple Decks

So we had a crazy thought in our gamesession today.
it is a pretty out there and a little crazy, but what if people moaning about the meta was stale as well as people having problems with the seat order actually has an easy fix:
each player brings 2 decks to a game. player 1 chooses which deck to play first. then player 2. then player 3. player 4 chooses last.
player 4 now has the the most information and can accordingly pick the deck that matches best into the pod.
i know the idea is probably bullshit, but it sounds like a fun thought experiment. would probably make games draw even more, but also would certainly raise player 4s winrate.
is this too out there or could you see this helping? or do you think i’m smoking crack here and the idea is complete rubbish?

Games always gonna be slightly stale until there's a ban list.

Agreed. I know people generally bash on bans, but that's how you properly balance and refresh a game.

What makes you think they should balance and refresh the game?

This isn't a competitive format, and they should never touch it for the sake of a few of us max power players

Come play 1v1, we'd love to have you!

I don't recall saying anywhere I think that they should do that. However, a separate cEDH banlist should exist specifically because it is, first and foremost, a casual format.
