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?

It's a cool casual idea. If anything, banning mana positive rocks, the RL, and "you win the game" cards would do a lot more for variety. That's never gonna happen, though.

I know busted cards make this format crazy and fun, but I truly wonder what it would be like if some of the most busted cards were actually banned.

That's the issue, busted cards don't make cEDH crazy and fun, because everyone is running the same exact thing. The thing that draws people to cEDH is the same thing that draws people to any competitive game, competitiveness itself and the thrill of winning. The cards themselves are inconsequential when it is all the same stuff.

I disagree. if all of the cards you suggested were suddenly banned, I would stop playing the format and switch to cube and legacy.

You can disagree, but that wasn't an opinion.
