Like a "chaos"-format, where every set is allowed and a "standard"-format, where just cards of the last two sets are allowed to play. Or they could make seperately "block"-formats, where just the cards of that block are allowed. That won't give us new cards with old mechanics, but the ones we have already keep viable.
