It would be helpful if there were icon options for EDH and such.

I think an icon overhaul would be cool, especially since for Vintage and Legacy, since they're no longer known as T1 and T1.5, respectively. Something like this, perhaps:

V intage
L egacy
E xtended
S tandard
B lock
C asual Formats

where the capital letter represents the new icon. Removing "Constructed" from Block frees up enough room to add a new icon, and possibly a second. Or a second line could be added. If a second line was added, perhaps use the top line for VLES, then:

E DH
C ube

And the option to choose if a deck is casual (i.e. "I won't spend the money to buy good cards") or for multi-opponent games (aren't all games multi-player, after all?), much in the same way you can choose the International Trader option in the trading forum.

I would prefer it stay 1, 1.5, 2, 1.x etc, then you could use E for EDH and C for casual. You don't really need to make a cube function, as you're not really building a deck so much as an entire metagame, and i feel that doesn't belong in the deck help board.
